Since i had new partner November 2017 which is my boyfriend i was bleeding during sex. I which then found out i had BV. I had no idea what that was and i was like oh ok it will clear up in no time just like a yeast infection. I was wrong everytime i was treated it never went away. I was put on FLAGYL 500mg 2x a day for 7 days. it didnt do anything. Tindamax 4pills at once for 2 days. METROGEL and NUVESSA NOTHING. Then 2018 i was having super cramping, vaginal irritation , vaginal swelling, burning during urination, deep pain when i had sex on and off and stabbing pains in both my left and right hip areas which got worse as time went by and my menstrual bleeding has been so weird like its stuck in there. i would stop bleeding but once i had sex blood would come out. Had ultrasounds and CT Scans. NOTHING. I went to my Primary cuz gyno wasnt listening. i was referred to URO and thats when i was tested for Ureaplasma/Mycoplasma Hominis. Me and BF were treated with LEVAQUIN 2x before it was gone. This year Jan 2019 my primary insisted to have a laparoscopy to the gyno i was in soo much pain i had a Laparoscopy and had an adhesion from my uterus to Small intestines removed. GYNO said it was from C-SECTION. BUT I STILL HAVE BV and the same cycle seem to be starting again. Im just tired. Ive been taking FEM-DOPHILUS probiotic 2x a day and tried the Vitamin C and it didnt do anything. im so eager to find A cure. I truly believe it caused the adhesion and i was misdiagnosed. I havent been able to get pregnant and i have two children. I have a new gyno now and shes focused on balancing the flora and suggested the refrigerated probiotics for a month. SOMEONE HELP!

    I have heard the refridg probiotics work. Pray and ask for a healing, also eliminate processed sugar from your diet and bread. Drink 1 tablespoon of organic apple cider vinegar in warm water each morning. You must buy the one that says it has "The mother" in it. Its around 8 bucks a bottle. You will find it easily at a whole foods type store. My grocery has it in the health food section. This has helped many women I know. Also urinate after sex and quit putting creams and meds up there. It didnt help me or anyone I know. God bless you, oh and don't worry so much, the stress is not good. I hope you find this helpful.

    There are some specialists in BV and though it is not sexually transmitted they are usually based in the drop in centres. Ask your primary if there is one near you. I was lucky and it was cleared up for me with metronidozole (not sure name goes under where you are) prescribed by them.

    I took a Hydrogen Peroxide bath with Tea Tree oil and it went away. I had my husband also take a bath. I posted my story and another girl tried it and it worked for her as well. Fingers crossed.

      Thank you for the feedback. May I ask how much Hydrogen Peroxide and Tea Tree oil you and your husband had used? My GYN also treated my BF with antibiotics as well but that didnt work either.

      About a cup of peroxide and like 5 drops of tea tree oil. antibiotics, gels, boric acid didnt work for me. I did see a specialist about 6 years ago and it didnt help.

      Antibiotics worked for a week and then it came right back, I dont care what Dr says, its not the solution.

      i am here with you. ive taken them and i feel no relief i feel worse after them and develop worse symptoms. I dont have the smell but maybe here and there but i have constant watery clear discharge that feels quite disgusting. Im always getting tested for Ureaplasma and STDs when i get tested for BV. I wish it would end already 😦
