I’ve suffered from BV since i was 11 or 12 years old-way before I even got my period or was sexually active! It’s so so depressing and I would truly pay unlimited money to fix it but I have not found a cure yet-i’m 20. I’ve tried every single remedy under the sun and nothing works permanently. the symptoms are getting worse with my age! The doctors have prescribed me anti booties but those never truly work, and now when i go back to the doctor they say I test negative for BV! I have yet to try pro biotics but i doubt they will even work.... does anyone know the best ones on the market? I am so desperate

    If you test negative, are you sure it’s BV?  What’s your symptoms?   Any other health issues?

    Hey,

    Not sure what ones are the best. However I would visit your local health food store (earth fare or Whole Foods) and ask someone who works there. Get a probiotic that has active or live cultures. They are not cheap so be prepared, but well worth it. Take it morning and night. You can also try taking vitamin c and vitamin D daily. Also, don’t eat carbs too often and stay away from coffee and sweets. The acidity in sweet things and the yeast in carbs are not good for women like us fighting BV. Also, use only cotton undies and try to make sure after showers you let yourself dry (down there) completely before putting clothes on. Also, sleeping without underwear helps to let it breathe. I also have BV and It hasn’t gone away in two years. I am so embarrassed all the time... it’s horrible, I know :”( just try to take the probiotic and vitamins each day, drinks lots of water and change diet. 

    Good luck 🍀

    Hi,

    The only thing that has worked for me is the 85 billion CFU probiotics the are RAW and need refrigeration. The smell was gone in 2 days. I take the  pills orally. The directions say to take 3 pills a day but when I did that I actually got an overgrowth of the “good” bacteria, lactobacillus, and had a lot of white discharge. I went back to taking one pill a day and it seems to keep all the odor away. I can’t say the brand name because they will delete my comment but if you look up raw probiotics 85 billion CFU it should come up in your search.  Please try this is the only thing that has eliminated the odor and I have tried everything !
