Help!!!! Suffering with reoccurring Bacterial Vaginosis for almost two years!

Try vitamin d and Culturelle brand probiotic it has lactobacillus GG. Also only rinse your vagina with water, dont put anything else on it.  Give the probiotics time to work. And please dont cry 🤗. Big hug!

Seems you are lacking vitamins. (Reoccurring) try healing. I don't think you giving enough time for your body to heal. I tried everything too so I know how frustrating it is. Your going to have to figure your body out. For one your vag will heal itself stop putting things in there. Take your medicine flagyl, soak in vinegar baths, wear loose clothing, try a multivitamin, and drink plenty water, no sex, no perfume soap atleast 2weeks. Follow these instructions consistently. Remember the plenty of water, cranberry juice try pee it out. Everyday you should be feeling better. After its gone remember to pee right after sex and buy wipes if necessary. That bv grows so fast. Good luck

Have you been tested for any of these bacteria overgrowth that present like BV? My GYN tested me and put me on Doxycycline and I have not had any symptoms since.

There are about 200 types of mycoplasma bacteria, but most of them are harmless. The ones you may have to worry about are:

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Mycoplasma genitalium

Mycoplasma hominis

**Ureaplasma urealyticum**

Ureaplasma parvum

Mycoplasma pneumonia

If you're told you have a mycoplasma infection, you'll need to dig a little deeper and find out what type you've got. There are five major kinds, and each one can affect you in a different way.

All mycoplasma infections have one thing in common, though. They're caused by tiny living things called bacteria.

Unlike other bacteria, the ones that lead to mycoplasma infections don't have cell walls. That's important because many antibiotics kill bacteria by weakening those walls. Since mycoplasma bacteria don't have them, some antibiotics, like penicillin, won't work against them.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae

This type causes lung infections. About a third of people who get infected come down with a mild form of pneumonia called "walking pneumonia." Most people, especially children, will get "tracheobronchitis," a fancy name for a chest cold.

first off you need to stop antobiotics all tofether, they do nothing but destroy all the good bacteria and that is the root of the issue to begin with. Not everyones BV is the same, it could be caused by a hormone imbalance, thyroid issue, it could even come down to the body soap you're using so its up to you to research and figure out whats causing yours. But I had the same issues, for months I would cry every night researching for answers and tried all of the above as well with no relief (except the 3 day relief with the rephresh gel but it came right back the fourth day) and what helped me was soaking a tampon in diluted non-iodized salt water (very diluted you want to he careful because this wasnt recommended by a medical professional) and leaving it in for a few hours at a time, i did this every other day for about a week and on the off days I would soak a tampon in coconut oil and leave it in for a few hours (this helped a lot with the irritation that came with my BV and also the smell). I also started taking folic acid and high quality probiotics everyday. I found the more expensive probiotics to be more effective, (usually around 40+ dollars and need to be refrigerated no $10 acidophillus from walmart). You NEED probiotics to repopulate all of the good bacteria that those nonstop rounds of antibiotics destroyed. You may not notice immediate changes from the probiotics but after months they really do make a difference. I'm so sorry that you're going through this I can honestly say it was one of the hardest times of my life but dont give up. Feel free to message me if you have any questions or would like more tips!

Hey sweetie, I am so sorry you're going through this. I've suffered for 7 long years. I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from, and your pain. I also tried every little thing possible to help. Nothing was working for me that was working for other girls. Than I came across a product called balance complex on amazon. It has thousands of wonderful reviews from women with chronic bv. It also had a great review from me! This product has kept my symptoms away for almost two years. It did take awhile for it to work. For some women it worked after three days others it took awhile like myself. All of our bodies are different, what works for some doesn't work for others you just have to find what works for you body. I highly recccomend this product for you at least try it out! I take two pills everyday, this is not a cure for bv but it keeps everything in balance while you're taking the pills. I know some women only take them few times a week because it is pricey. One thing that has really helped me was working out. When I don't work out while on these i notice my discharge is more excessive. Last thing I want to point out to you. I highly reccomend for you to read all of the news about bv, this is pretty exciting because they are focusing many drug companies and doing test trying to figure out a cure for chronic sufferers like us. By 2023 they are hoping to have found a once and for all cure.

I came across it on a website and which also had an eBook that I purchased. Here is the instructions:

Instructions for using gentian violet vaginally

Wash your hands

Apply Vaseline to your vulva, outside only, if you are using to protect against dying your vulva

Put a pad or panty liner into your underwear, ready for when you are finished

Put on the gloves

Add one tablespoon of gentian violet (1 per cent mix) to the plastic container

Add one tablespoon of water, to dilute by half to make a 0.5 per cent mix – one part water, one part gentian violet makes a 0.5 per cent mix

Dilute further as you wish

If using a douche, to maximise surface area and time, try to do it lying down, but expect mess; otherwise insert douche as high as you can and slowly squeeze contents while sitting on the toilet – wear gloves!

For the tampon method, after unwrapping, put the tip of the tampon inside its applicator into the gentian violet mixture, letting the tampon soak up to three-quarters of the way up the length

Insert the tampon as you normally would

Remove tampon after 3-4 hours

If you have irritation, remove immediately – and wait a day, then dilute your mixture more, and if that doesn’t work, abandon treatment and look to the next treatments

Use gentian violet soaked in a tampon. Insert and leave 3-4 hours or over night for 12 days in a row. Follow by douching with problotics and taking them orally during treatment and after. I tried boric acid, vitamin c, hydrogen peroxide, douching with probiotics, steaming my vagina, vagina "detoxes" and infinite amounts of antibiotics. Nothing breaks the biofilm like gentian violet. I'm only on this forum now to help other women. Msg me if you have any wuestions
