I'm 34 and suffered with chromic BV for 10+ years. I've been prescribed flagil thats works until I finish my script. I finished my script a couple months ago and it came back. This time the odor has gotten worse. Others at can smell it at work and my daughter says I smell like fish and so does my car. I can't afford to see a doctor and even if I could it will just come back. I've tried apple cider vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, Refresh, eat a ton of greek yogurt, drink Yocult, cotton panties only, taken folic acid and taken acidophilus orrally but none of that helped. Has anyone gone through a similar experience and had success doing something at home? I mean someome who's dealt with this for many years and taken prescriptions for it and then decided to do something on their own to treat it and its taken it completely away or at least the odor? Please anyone can you give specific directions?

    Soaking in a shallow warm tub with baking soda for 20mins does wonders for the odor. I'm currently using tea tree oil suppositories. On my 3rd night now, the tea tree smell is very strong but I'm hoping this clears it up. I'll keep u informed. Been suffering with this for over ten years on and off sad
