BV CURED!
Posted , 390 users are following.
I was pretty excited to come on this site to share what has cured me because i know how frustrating bv is and i am sure some of you have tried many things.
I had bv for 3 months. I am just now getting over it. I had gone to the doctors twice and have taken metronidazole and clindamycin. both intravaginal gels. Both gave me unwanted side effects and my symptoms came back after a week with both. I have also tried douching with h202 and vinegar for 5 days but it did not cure me while taking acidiphilus tablets and inserting two vaginally. It did not cure me. Little by little the itch would come back.
After a lot of research i was determined to fight this as I have seen many women have it for years and not have any solutions. Here are my findings and I am proud to say I am bv free! I take a vitamin b complex with folic acid 800, vitamin d3 5000iu and acidiphilus daily. do some research on it and test it out, i promise you wont be disappointed!

For any poor soul who is desperately inserting boric acid, vitamin C, acv, garlic and probiotics into their vag in the hope of overcoming this distressing condition just to discover time that "miracle cure" didn't work and now you're nursing yet another yeast infection... do yourself a favor and actually cure your BV with betadine (povidone-iodine). Do a search on ebay for betadine douche and see the results. Some listings will have instructions as follows: 1 oz (30ml) betadine mixed in 8 oz(250ml) of purifed(bottled) water nightly for 7-10 days. I did get a yeast infection after five days and was able to clear it up with the same solution. Use a more diluted solution (1 tablespoon(15ml) per 8 oz water) as needed after and between menses for personal hygiene. If you do a little research on Google you'll find a few articles about how betadine was the most successful in restoring healthy vaginal flora after treatment. Betadine douches are also sold in your local CVS/Walgreens as "medicated" Summer's Eve douche. I can't tell you how much tears and money I spent on these so called "cures". Wish I had know about betadine months ago

I figure I better update since these things rarely do. I'm sorry to say that Betadine did not 'cure' my BV. It cleared it up for the time being but I still have recurring " flare ups" for lack of a better term. This may be the best it gets as I've seen my doctor several times and she tells me there really isn't a definitive cure. The only thing they can do is give me an antibiotic/diflucan combo when things get bad. The next month or maybe the month after here we go again. Basically the chance of recurrence is very high and doctors don't exactly know why that is. I recently had a full panel of tests done that confirmed the gardnerella bacteria was in full bloom while good bacteria was practically non-existent.
I don't know about anyone else but mine dosent always smell fishy. It may be because it is often accompanied by a yeast infection and I only have sex a few times a month if I'm lucky. My infections are also incredibly painful when it does get out of control. I'm desperately looking for something that will just keep it from flaring up like it does. If I ever get that answer I will be sure to update again. As of now I have been taking probiotics that are specific to what was shown in my panel and it still has not stopped the BV and yeast infections that have occured almost monthly for the past 4 months even having taken 4 weeks off of sex. I'm not going to lie it is depressing AF. I keep pressing on more towards the light. Best wishes my dears and good luck to us all.

Try boric acid, theres a product at Walmart called "queen v" it's in the women's health section. I'm not kidding this saved my life, I used 1 pill (inserted vaginally) for 4 days and I've been 4 months bv free. Also Starr taking vitamins!!! Vitamin d and cranberry with a multivitamin.

I feel the need to share my story.. and for all that are reading, I'm sorry that it is long but I have waited years to be one of you, sharing the success of ridding myself of this horrible curse. I have also struggled with the bv infection for years, but am so proud and happy to announce that I am cured!!! I FEEL MYSELF AGAIN! and smell like i forgot i was supposed to smell, sweet and fertile and musky and healthy.
Anyway, I took all off the pharmaceuticals prescribed blah blah like everyone else and they never worked, not even for a day after treatment. Finally I came across boric acid suppositories which I considered a godsend at the time because NOTHING would get rid of the smell for longer than an hour. Not the metro gel, flagyl pills, clydemycin, hydrogen peroxide, yogurt, tea tree, apple cider vinegar, garlic, vitamin c, etc. I was thankful to find something to keep it at bay at least. So, I was taking Phd Boric acid capsules vaginally for 2 of these years and that kept everything clean and out of my mind, but had to continue to insert them every few nights because the smell, discharge, and itch would return again and again. Also I have to mention that these capsules make you smell like absolutely nothing. Not like a natural woman, more like a clean pair of socks straight out the laundry. Which is cool and all but I want to smell like a human being down there to my boyfriend thank you very much.
Anyway it was obvious that I was reliant on the Boric Acid and had given up finding a cure and figured that I'd be having to remember to put these things up me every few nights for the rest of my life.. Or else smell like a salty ammonia rotten fish tree. So fun.
Now here is the good part. Finally during a visit to my doctor last month, I was informed that I had a vitamin D deficiency after some blood work and had read that this correlated with BV. So I started taking a women's multivitamin pack and 5000iu vitamin D daily. Whilst at the drug store getting my usual vitamins, I thought hey, since I'm now in the habit of taking pills everyday, why not pick up a probiotic for women to add in to the mix, specifically RePhresh with lactobacillus reuteri and lactobacillus rhamnosus strains. Literally a day after taking one of these pills (along with my regular vitamins) I could FEEL a difference down there. I didnt get too excited though because I had recently inserted a BA tablet and the smell was obviously not present either way. So I waited a week and refrained from the boric acid. did the a little test and.. STILL NO SMELL. Even better, a good, normal, natural smell. The smell I remember from years and years ago
and still, even better, I had started my period, and usually my period makes it even worse, but nope, still normal! I highly recommend these probiotic strains because they have saved me from the inevitable embarrassment, annoying maintenance, and feeling of always having a reproductive health issue.
So if youre still curious, and still reading (thank you), this is what I did:
vitamin D 5000iu
womens ultimate flora probiotics
rephresh probiotics (walgreens $30)
and womens multivitamin
Still cant believe it was this simple all along!!
Definitely worth a try if you are struggling

See I used rephresh and femdophilous successfully for 5 years and now my body is used to them and it’s coming back. Ugh.

Hello all! I'm new here. I've suffered with bv for years...always after sex with my boyfriend. Tindimax helps me a lot, but I'm sick and tired of being on antibiotics! Makes me afraid to have sex again. I just ordered something called Probaclac Vaginal. They're suppositories and can't wait to see if they work. I'll let you guys know how it works.

So I have been suffering from back to back BV and YIs(yeast infections) for 2 years. I had literally tried everything, any medication combination you can think of and numerous at home remedies. They would help for a couple of days and the the BV or YI would be back! Just to give an example I tried tea tree oil, sitz baths, coconut oil, douching, OTC medications, yogurt, literally everything. THEN I STUMBLED UPON QUEEN V BORIC ACID SUPPOSITORIES. Please, please, please give boric acid a chance!!! You can get any brand or even make your own suppositories at home. I get queen V because they sell them at Walmart for about 15 bucks so it's really convenient. Let me tell you, I inserted one of these bad boys for 3 nights in a row and ALL MY SYMPTOMS WERE GONE. No smell, no itch, no weird discharge ... nothing!! So I thought this would be, yet again, just a temporary fix. NO! I inserted one once a week for about 3 weeks after I finished the 3 nights. It has been 3 months and no BV or YI. My sex life is great, my confidence is back, I smell normal down there for once!! And whenever I feel "off" down there I insert one at night and the next day I am good to go!! I made this account solely to make this review in Hopes to help my fellow women cure their BV. You will NOT regret it!!!!!

Just to add, I also started taking vitamin D, vitamin C with rose hips, probiotics, b12, cranberry, and folic acid. I'm sure the combination of these vitamins and the boric acid both helped!!!

I did however have burning the next day and had to take it out. This is because i have been irritated and swollen and attempted to have sex with my boyfriend before putting the vitamin c in before bed. My guess is i had some micro-tares inside of me from trying to have sex when i was so irritated causing the vitamin c to burn when i put it in.
As long as youre injury free on the inside, the vitamin c shouldnt burn and should help return you to a healthy ph.

I want to give a little bit of my history. I’ve been plagued with bv for YEARS. I went through everything each of you ladies went through except my situation was worse. I went through numerous courses of antibiotics. It started where it would clear up my problem then my problem would come back. But then it got to where the antibiotics would not even work! As my sickness got worse, so did the odor! I did so much research ladies and tried so many things online that I saw! Salt water baths, tea tree oil treatments, vaginal inserts OF ALL KINDS. Ladies I spent so much time being depressed and this controlled my life! It effected my friendships and relationships because I knew if I could smell it they could. It was my own personal hell. Ladies I got pregnant and started taking prenatal gummies. I took them every day throughout my pregnancy. I’m bv free now!!!!!!! Praise Jesus through him all things are possible. Ladies please be persistent this is not an overnight fix. And when you think you clear up you cannot stop. This is happening because your body is lacking essential vitamins. I just wanted to pay it forward in the hopes that this can help someone who suffered like I did. While your body is getting back to it’s healthy state use an apple cider vinegar wash while your in the shower but only for only the OUTSIDE of your vagina. I did this in the shower after washing with hardly oatmeal soap. But remember....Do not clean the canal or insert anything in your vagina! Your system needs uninterrupted time to get back to its normal healthy state. Best of luck!!!
