BV without the smell

Its not unusual. Every woman is different. I actually have had chronic BV for a year now..it seems that it wont go away completely been trying all sorts of perscription antibiotics and home remedies and so far no luck. I have been doing alot of research especially in last 3 months. I actually have no symptoms but the smell..maybe some itching like similar to yeast infection. But thats about it! The smelly dischage is absolutely the worst part for me and happens mostly after intercourse!

Have u tried any antibiotics? or home remedies? if you dont have the discharge I believe that your symptoms may have a higher chance of going away! if u have any questions ill be happy to answer anything from the info i have researched over this last year. How long have you had these symptoms for?

Hi! Im very sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time wit this yourself! I feel the pain girl! Maybe we will figure this out for the both of us!! IVe been dealing with this for a year now and still trying to find the right treaments. It is very frustraing i totally understand. As far as whats going on with me and the things i have tried, well i remember when it forst started in about early Feb. of last year. And I remember after sex a day or two later i felt like i had had a yeast infection sort of itch. well the itch was there for a few days for about a week,(not sure how long but felt like forever), well eventually that itch went away and the odor and discharge came about. And, I had had BV 5 years ago and didnt know what it was had the samne synptoms as i do now except the odor was much worse then i have now. I went to gyno and she put me on one round of flagyl  it worked like a charm. well then of course here i am now dealing with this. For the most part the ododr and discharge is what i have but odor sometimes subsides, but after sex with my bf, its back right away after he ejaculates. So that being said, over the last 10 months is when i have been trying to get it under control. 

Let me tell you what ive done so far, that hasnt worked for me yet, but hopefulkly it can work for u! So youve tried the Flagyl u said.It worked for me duriong the time i took it and for about a week or so after..then the discharge with the odor. And most noticable after sex. But i have tried a few rounds of flagyl in last 10 months. Did the same effect. Never went away. Tried the clindamycin orally and also tried clindamycin vaginal cream and neither worked. And have even tried the flagyl profibactively(not sure how its spelled) but meaning i took one after sex every time) and that worked like a charm but did that routine for 2 or 3 months and didnt work once i stopped it. I told all this to my gyno and she said i caouldnt take flagyl forver so lets try something else. So she treated my BF with flagyl but after one dose, made him really sick (so that was out of the question). Well after doing some research in last cpl months i figured, i need to start researching home remedies and what i can do. I found some helpful info, and also looked up different home remedies. After researching a list of different antibiotics that treat or cure BV, i found one called tinidmax few weeks ago , someone had posted about how that helped her while taking a probiotic.well, i told my gyno and she had never heard of it but we looked up on it and its a simliar to flagyl. it just is given to ppl that cant tolerate the flagyl as much. well she perscribed me to tindimax and the same results! so, i am more frustrated and thinking, am i ever going to get rid of it? Oh and while on that tindimax i read on that post from this woman that mentioned it but she also said she took a probiotic during that time of being treated withthe tinidmax, she mentioned it had to be a probiotic with at least 10 strains in it. So, I had done the same a few weeks ago but still hasnt worked. But i still am currently taking a probiotic with the 10 strains. Its a probiotic with 10 strains and also am takiong acidophillus along with it. I have been trying some home remedies now and ill list them that mayve they will help ur situation with the pain and ease u some

So, the home remedies:

I had done alot of research on these home remedies in last few months and have found some interesting things about them and also how antibiitics hadnt worked for them. so, that being said i am now trying the home remedies as we speak. I have tried the garlic so far, but let me tell u it burns!!! i dont recommend the garlic remedy for u becuz ur situation being painful as it is i would think it would be unbarable for u. But have u tried yogurt? They say to consume it daily but u can also put some plain yogurt on a tampon and insert it vaginally. And leave it in for a few hrs. Maybe u can try that. But the best thing for u would be anything that wouldnt irratate ur insides. I have found alot on pinterest. I have a whole Board pull of pins on home remedies for BV! Also, I have hear that Apple cider vinegar is one of the best home remedies for BV. That woman have used that for natural cure for decades. Before there was ever antibiotics and stuff. So for the yogurt remedy with tampon ive heard that u do that and repeat it every day for cpl hrs and try it for a week. Also, for the antibiotics i guess it strips all the good and bad bacteria out sop u have to replenish that good bacteria somehow. So my advice definatly for u, go and get some probiotics, with at least 10 strains and maybe also take some acidophilus like i have been doing. while doing that, try the yogurt and maybe apple cider vinegar but if u do that vinegar thing, be very careful becuz that can burn the crap out of ur insides! and i dont want that to happen for u becuz ur pain already. but they say apple cider vinegar soaked on a tampon and half that and half water and insert it before bedtime and sleep with it in. but if u do that make sure u dilute it big time so it doesnt burn you. I have also been trying the tea tree oil. Its got a strong smell to it but its soo much better then the fishy odor i have! but i dilute a tampon during the day after my morning shower i do that with half that and half water. its got like a menthol-like feeling to it, but i do that for a cpl hrs and take it out. but in ur case maybe just half and half on a rag and wipe the area down there (instead of inserting it). And, also the one i am trying right now as we speak (i dont know if i had mentioned yet becuz ive been trying to keep track of what ive already typed LOL) But the garlic trick ive seen online. WARNING though, its the one that burns the most out of all the remedies ive tried so far. ive found several different ideas ont he garlic remedy as well..ive tried inserting a few garlic gel tabs up there (which doesnt burn) but when i tried the minced garlic ona tampon diluted with water, (it said leave it up there for an hr or two) and after3 mintues of doing that, i thought i lit a bonfire in my vagina LOL it was horrible and burned like H*ll!! Please dont try that with ur situation it may make it worse for u. But the garlic gel tab s were alot easier and didnt seem to hurt me but it didnt take care of my situation with the terrible odor i have. So I would try that, the garlic gel tablet vitamins u see in the vitamins section. i would insert two or maybe 3 of them. and ur good to go. I was reading that garlic is a natural antibiotic and of some sorts. they also say to put it in ur diet daily. also yogurt in ur diet daily. oh and they also say whatever remedy u want to try to also stick with one single remedy at a time. ( i think if u do it also gives u an idea of what is working for u, so doing one at a time woundt be so much confusion in which one works). But try the remedies a cpl times a day or overnight and repeat for a week. Also, in your case wit irration try Vitamin E. it will soothe you if u insert a cpl Vit E gel tabs or just straight Vit E Oil. I also heard that Coconut oil would be a good remedy but i dont know if doing any of these would take away the problem permenately. I know the way I explained this might be confusing. If you need anymore info or questions, You just ask and maybe we can get thru this togethe. Matter of fact, ill look up more stuff on the situation ur having so maybe it will help u if nothing else does, We need this problem permenantly gone!!

Also, I dont know much about this website or if u can privately message me but let me know what else u may have questions on hopefully i will have more info to helpyour case. I know i was all over the place in my comments and it might be confusing LOL

Yes, same with me. I never had a smell but culture still said i had BV. i cant seem ti find anything about no smell with BV.
