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 Kris! I've been struggling with bv for a little over a year now. It was really embarrassing especially when I had to avoid being sexually active. I tried everything and nothing worked. I've been to the gyno twice and both times I was prescribed with Metronidazole. This worked for literally the day of the treatment. My bv always came back. I tried tons of home remedies for them to only fail

    I'm happy to say I am 2 weeks BV FREE! I read about the hydrogen peroxide home remedy. People say to use a douche for this but I just used a syringe kind of thing that came with my metronidazole and kind of just rinsed up there like 3 times a day. 1 time in the morning once in the afternoon then one during my nighttime shower. It also helps to switch to dove UNSENTED soap and cotton underwear. When I first started rinsing my area the smell went away but I still couldn't tell because there was a weird sour smell, but I continued my treatment and some unusual gunky discharge started to come out the next day. After the third day I stopes due to getting my period. I am now off my period and have rinsed a couple more times and there is no smell. No itch. My vaginal health is back to normal finally after a year I want to cry of happiness. I hope it all works for you!

      I have been so skeptical to try the peroxide remedy. I am glad it worked for you.

      So, was it half water and half peroxide?

      Yes! I should of mentioned this. It was half water half peroxide. I've read things like boiling and cooling the water before but I just used normal tap.

      Hello, I'm hoping this had a lasting effect for you? When I tried it, it worked for a couple of tries, but the bv always came back.... how is your progress?

    I tried the Vitamin C yesterday after suffering from BV for about an embarrassing 5 years now. Amazingly it worked I have no odor. I am shocked and overjoyed! I am just hoping it continues to work!

      The first 2 days were miraculous for me as well. I decided not to do it on day three, just to see, and it was back to funky munky SMH

      I am going to continue to do it for 5 days. I'm considering to do the 5 days of Vit c, followed by using the peroxide to get the gunk out.

      I would like add....I should have kknown that after suffering with this horrid condition for so many years, that two measly days of vit c would work.

      It was worth shot though.*shrugs*

      Hello,

      How is your progress with the vitamin c? I hope it worked. From my experience it worked long enough for my demon bv to recalculate... then it was back in full force!! Uugh, very debilitating. Lord bless us all ...

    Hey guys... I'm confused about the vitamin C tablets. From what I'm understating you guys are inserting them into your vagina??? but you can take these orally as well, right? Cause I just bought some tablets with rosehip as mentioned but I thought you're supposed to take them orally, as mentioned in the directions? Please help!

    Ok so this is what I did. Shower in the morning and use tea tree oil mixed with water. (If you look up tea tree oil uses it actually says that I may be beneficial to BV but there is not enough studies to say that it definitely does) I take orally one probiotic for women( you need to make sure they are for woman and for vaginal health) and at night 1000 mg vitamin c with rose hips inserted vaginally and in the morning you start over. Instantly the symptoms went away.

    I too suffered from this for almost a year on and off. I tried absolutely everything to get rid of it: different diets (namely paleo), seeing a naturopath for other options, taking metronidazole, pro biotics, natural medecines that are meant to balance out your gut flora etc etc. Nothing worked for good. About three months ago i resumed taking my probiotic powder (prescribed by my naturopath) as well as three pills a day of a supplement which included Garlic, Vit C, Zinc, Echinacea and Olive Leaf. I have had no symptoms come back since!!! I honestly believe that to fully get rid of this takes time, but please please try the supplements if nothing else has worked for you! for me they work wonders, and fingers crossed it never comes back smile good luck ladies!

    I get BV all the time I think personally because my husband a mechanic and after he showers and make love I end getting BV this is what I did I stocked up

    On yogurt Greek is the best, than I purchased Acidophilus and folic acid this method keeps the BV away also this may sound crazy but you can crush up The Acidophilus pill with yogurt mixed and insert directly inside tbe vagina i have Dont that too and I have nevertheless got the BV again that flagyl never worked for me I would just take the pills and get it right back in another month

    Wow that's awesome wish that can happen to me

    People just don't understand until they walk through it no matter how much you take care of yourself

    There this weird smell

    The education of it will help a lot of women not make fun women of underlying smells

    I take care of myself but sometimes if I eat certain type of things are use a different soap my body very sensitive it has been a battle for me
