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!

      Hey a great way to relieve itching is making a paste out of the acidiphilus and keeping it on your vagina for a few minutes. You cab he the 100 million tabs nd just make a thick enough paste. It helps a lot. Also put some in your vagina over night it works wonders

      This key pad sucks. Garlic is great at yeast infections externally. Immediate relief you can lap buy candida support and grapefruit seed extract in fighting it. These will also give immediate relief

    Hi kris

    I found your comment very very useful in trying to cure my BV!!!

    I'm a sufferer for around 2 years getting treated with only antibiotics sad this has nearly killed me!!!

    I've been to the gp countless times - swabs, blood tests ect! 

    Recently I had a bout of bv for 5 month!!! So painful and so swollen. I've been so swollen that they were unable to take swabs and when they tried they made me bleed for 3 days! The itching and swelling made it impossible to sit down or wear any type of clothing that touched me down there, one morning I woke up and my cagina was peeling!!!!! OMG!!!!

    So I decided to look on the net and found out all the symptoms I had were the same as others.

    I've been 3 days taking vitamins from Holland and Barretts and I notice the difference a lot!!!!

    And when I say a lot it's amazingly a lot! 

    I take :

    Ultra maximum acidophilus 20 billion x 2 a day 

    Vitamin D3 25 ug x 2 a day

    Vitamin B6 10mg x 4 a day (bought at asda)

    As I say I've taken this for three days and notice a lot of my swelling, peeling, discharge and odour have decreased so much. 

    I will continue these quantities until my symptoms have gone! And then reduce to maintain.

    I hope this helps other readers as it helped me. I'll write again in a couple of days!!

    Thank you so much to this website and everybody that writes in the discussions xxx

      Hi can I have your supplements print screen so I could exactly what your taking? I'm so stressed about my condition. I've been with ba for 5years and it really lowers my self esteem. I'll appreciate your reply very much. Thank you so much.

    thinkpink09. It was only temporary relief, I still had the infection and I broke down and took 2 doses of flagyl. however, I must say, while doing all that my bv was not as severe as other times. I will continue to take the probiotics and folic acid every day. I've pretty much decided that I can't cure it naturally sad I'm the same as you, I'm 25, never had this with previous partners, it seems to be my husband and I are incompatible.

    I saw my doctor for a pap test since my last post and she noticed I had a yeast infection which I didnt notice because I was just so damn happy my BV was gone. I treated the yeast infection anyway. While talking to my doctor I told her AGAIN about the re-occuring problem. I told her I tried everything to cure it naturaly and it didnt work. she suggests I just take a flagyl after having sex. She also said this problem may work itself out on its own, or it might change when I stop taking birth control. She basically gave me an unlimited prescription for flagyl.

    My husband and I are long distance so I go long intervals without sex. I only get BV after sex with him, so I treat it, Im fine for the next 2 months until we have sex again.  

    I will be having sex tuesday, and I think I'll just go right ahead and take 500mg of flagyl. Ive been thru this enough times and its a sad reality, but I'm not going to wait for the wretched smell to kill my husband and I. I'll kill it first haha. I am so disapointed its come down to this but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. I will double up on my probiotics while taking the flagyl in hopes to avoid another yeast infection. Good luck and if you find the miracle, hook me up!!!

      Hey I just wanted to say if you have a yeast infection or are prone to them. But a supplement called candida support and grapefruit seed extract. It will knock it off in it's tracks and give relief but also with a low to no diet with sugar. the paste of acidiphikus a I mentioned can be used for yeast you will hvw relief. And this I going to sound weird but garlic is great for killing yeast it's immediate long lasting relief. If it I internal stick a clove in over night mKe some slits in it. If it's external you can mKe a paste and leave on. Trust me you will hvw relief. Hope this helps someone smile

    Hi i just want to know what kind of symptoms of BV did you get when you still had them? Ive read in the internet that it gives you greyish discharges. I'm just curious because ive been having yellowish-greenish discharges for almost 5yrs now thinking this is BV. I went to see a doctor when i started having it but she only told me that its bacterial and non cancerous then prescribed me Flagyl. I took started taking that antibiotic it was effective but unfortunately it recurred. I didnt want to take anymore antibiotics for it may cause drug resistance. Ive also noticed that when I eat sweets, the discharge increases. Maybe this is bacterial vaginosis? Please help me figure out what this is and how to cure this 😔 did you have the same color of discharge as mine?

      I buy them off online Amazon it comes with 6 in one pack. I would use it for the six days straight. Put them in fridge they are liquid when you receive them. Insert over night and wear a panty liner. These will stain your sheets and will leak out over night but not into the next day.

      Thank you so much Kris! So happy that we have internet were woman can discuss these topics. Cant stand BV its embarrasing cant stand it. So ready to beat this thing. I ordered them today of ebay for 10.99 including shipping do you advice me to take Vitamin C as well?

       Your welcome let me know if this works for you! I would suggest taking a vaginal

      PRobiotic so you can restore your balance while getting rid of symptoms. the other vitamin that is good is a calcium magnesium and zinc complex with some trace minerals. I have done research on it and It definitely helps keep it away. Just keep in mind after the 6 days you may have to continue using them because bv is a bitch and takes a while to get rid of lol. The other thing you can also use is odor treaemt suppositiories. Those have the same ingredients as the capsules that were discontinued and work well. I use both of these things. I got it bac from sex recently but got rid of it in a week. I know this is annoying it's kind of once you have it bad you will always have it

      Or get a flare up unfortunately lol

      I am just coming in on this forum desperately searching for answers. BV has been a disaster.  I have suffered from it for years.  I have tried many things and was wondering if you would be so kind to update on how the tea tree suppositories work for you.

      Kris,

       Now that you've been free of it for so long, you mentioned you got rid of a flare up wihtin a week. What did you do for that week to get rid of the flare up? Thanks!

      Anytime I feel a slight reoccurrence I insert a regular vitamin c 1000 and it gets rid of it. I use condoms during sex and keep with my regular regime. I like to stop it in its tracks before the discharge comes so for me the vitamin c does it and I only do it once and again in a few days if I feel I have to. I used to have flare ups because of a new partner but I haven't had any issues for months

      Hey kris29, I see that you use the vitamin c tablets to get rid of smell, but what about getting rid of the discharge quickly? Anything that gets rid of that pretty fast too? Or is that something that just goes away in time after taking probiotics and vitamins for weeks?

      before I started using boric acid inserts (which by the way are THE BEST) douching hydrogen peroxide does but if you do the boric acid insert (I make mine) as soon as it dissolves

      Ok great! Now give me the deets please! How much hydrogen peroxide to water? And how'd you make your inserts? I'm ready to try all of this today! Lol

      supplies you can get from amazon.  just look up boric acid and bv.  before all of this "new" stuff boric acid is what was used and its good for yeast infections too.  prior to me using boric acid I did do the peroxide it does help A LOT I used full strenght I didnt dilute at all but you can do 2:1.  BV is a ph issue.  Many things can upset your ph...semen, perfume, soap even your period.  I now only use the inserts and vagisils ph wash.

      The vitamin c gets rid of everything not just smell. If you have full blown infection you'll need to do it a few times plus diet plus vitamins. The problem is inside of your body. Your balance is all messed up of good and bad bacteria so it will take time to replenish your insides while taking care of it outside as well. you can also try tea tree suppositiores they work on getting rid of discharge fast

      Hey kris29 I have been using tea tree oil on the tampon and I will leave it in for about two hours and once I remove the tampon there is this gunky substance that's on the tampon. Is this normal?

      Posted

      Honestly I haven't used the tea tree and tampon method long enough to tell you if it's normal because it would dry me out. I use the suppositories for over night to clean myself out. is it like an ovulating discharge? Like an egg yolk substance? it could be healthy just from the tea tree creating a lower healthy ph level. If no smell or other symtpoms with it I would say it's fine. Maybe take a day off from it and continue if necessary?

      Yes it kind of is like some egg yolk and no there is no smell or other issues.

      Then personally I wouldn't worry about it. Sounds like you are getting a healthy ph level back smile
