I just finished the Sandoz metronidazole vaginal gel and it works but with me having bv so long it's not all the way gone I seen the girl about the seasalt baths on utube I'm going to try that can anyone tell me how much they use and if it really works my problem is taking baths all the time and I don't like showers I would rather stand in hot water and wash than to use a shower curtain because I stay with people that are not clean so I sanatize the tub and stand in and wash I can't even have a regular life due to this bv and yeast

    its trial and error with bv what works for one doesn't for another.

    I've had bv for 3 years now and I believe I was washing too much and I've brought this on myself.

    I suffered with non stop horrible smells even though I'm obsessed with being clean and smelling nice I felt disgusting about my hygiene I give myself a hard time.

    I found this site and it's really helped I've tried everything until I tried boric acid and when I went to the clinic they tested and said I haven't got bv or thrush which was bizarre .

    my inside tunnel is clean and I've no smell anymore up there unless it's my period time.

    so boric acid cured my inner vagina but my vulver didnt smell as fresh but I'm using no soap to clean I just use something called aquerous cream with no perfume so I'm no longer using all my feminine fresh products so I suppose that could be the reason for that part .

    I still get wet panties and sometimes there's a very very slight odor but I'm so much happier now .

    I worry it will be like this forever .

    I've never heard of the sea salt bath I've apple cider vinegar which I can put in the bath or use it as a douching solution.

      Yes look on utube type in cure bv with seasalt baths and you will see the girls videos the one girl said get a basin and she says how much hot water and seasalt to use. And sit in it 20 minutes for 5 to 7 days and she said she haven't had it in years now that is my last try it's coming out in my face now the bacteria and these antibiotics only work and come back the bv to only go back and forth to the doctor I know they say don't smoke but I do and it says don't take baths and I do that too because I'm always depressed n stressed and thats the only way I can relax myself

      I used them for 15 days I think I used to many because the guy from the customer service said if u eat sweets it will come back like a lot of sweets chocolate and ice cream I do need to change my diet but I don't eat sweets like that I felt it coming back when I ate 3 Nestle crunch bars.

    Hello Star,

    Using sea-salt......

    I bought a toddler play pool that fits into the shower base. Half fill with water. Sit in this pool. Pour half a cup of sea salt into the water. Stay in the pool for as short or long as time as you want, say 5-15minutes.. Have available more warm water. Don't get cold. Do this daily for four days. Another idea is to shower with sea-salt.

    bori cap off E bay I first took twice daily for 2 weeks then I got my period so I waited and started on 1 a day for 7days I'm on day 2 of no boric acid and I've the wet pants wee smell ( not as bad as the old smell of sewers prior to trying boric acid )

    I'm going to use boric acid twice a week .

    so fed up .

    I couldn't get intimate if I had a boyfriend even though my tunnel is fresh it's this watery discharge when I wake up with a hint of pee with it but I'm glad still it's not half as bad I'll use cotton pads for now at least I dont smell that vile crap that smelt of the sewers I'm thankful for that at least.
