Hi, I'm new to this group but I'm hoping you guys can help. Did you have cramps/lower abdominal pain with your BV? I have awful cramping in my lower abdomen, soreness, achey, inflamed, swollen feelings. Feels like period cramping and I need a heating pad. I cough and my pelvic region hurts. I had olive green discharge once last week, followed by itching, dryness, and then the cramping started. Going to the specialist Wednesday but when I asked a few months ago if BV could cause cramps/pain in my pelvic region they said no. I just need reassurance that this lower abdomen pain can be connected to BV. i had a bunch of tests done from feb-July before I was diagnosed with BV in July, ultrasound, ct scan, bloodwork, MRI, and all came back fine. Thanks!!

    Hiya...I have just done a swab and wee test..clinician thinks BV. I had sex and immediately after and on and off since I have had like menstrual cramping and weird little pinching pains all over lower abdomen and around vagina. There is another feeling I have been getting, it's like i have been riding a bike a sort of a heavy feeling, to be honest it's not an easy one to explain. Also frequent feeling that I need to pee, even though I just went 5 seconds.sound familiar to anyone?

      Hi Sarah, did you ever getting to the bottom of this? I have that riding a bike and needing to pee feeling too for the past 3 weeks and the GP just said I tested positive for BV so was wondering if you were the same?

      Hey Sarah,

      Very familiar. I have urgency to pee, burning in my uretra and bad cramps.

      The doc prescribed vaginal antibiotic cream for 5 days.

      Will see.

    I am soo happy for this disscussion

    I’ve never heard of this website. But I’ve been dealing with BV since i started having sex. And I have the cramp. They feel VERY similar to period cramps   And they started while i was on my period so thats what i though they were! I rhen thought i was pregnant! But i took a test and it said negative but i was still scared because ive never had the cramps. And then there still happening so i googled bv cramps and i found this. Im going to the clinic to get the antibiotics. But im so glad tht bv has cramps. Ive been having safe sex so it can’t be anything else.

    You guys really eased my stress!
