BV or something else??

Posted , 3 users are following.

Been super dry down there for the past 2-3 months. im only 21 so I know its not menopause related. i went to the doctor and she took a look at my discharge twice under a microscope and said it was BV. But im not having any other symptoms EXCEPT for the lack of daily discharge. I tried one set of antibiotics and it didn't work. Thinking maybe I dont have BV. Anyone else experience this decrease in discharge?

    Its probably bv like your doctor says. During antibiotics don't have sex or drink alcohol. Bv is stubborn its beneficial not to disrupt the healing process. Ask your doctor about apple cider vinegar baths. That antibiotic wipes away good and bad bacteria which will throw your ph balance off. Drink plenty water, eat plain yogurt, use unscented soaps, no tight undies or pants. I put a cup of apple cider vinegar in my bath and soak 15 minutes to reduce odor, discharge, and itch. You should be having less symptoms after a week. Hope this helps for you.
