Not again.........

I am experiencing this as we speak. I went to the doctors and the medicine hasn't helped at all. I feel extremely sore and uncomfortable. I have a burningpain as well. Did ur symptoms go away and if so what antibiotics did you take?

I have the same thing. I've had 4 treatments for this off my nurse over 4 months vaginal gel & tablets none of them have worked. Been doing more research & been looking at home remidies . have saw loads of women using plain live yogurt on there lady parts also inserting it vaginally. I've tried this tonight just wiped it all around my vag . too soon too say if its worked but I'm willing to do anything to get rid of bv. Also if u live in the UK go onto boots website & type in bacterial vaginosis. There's some stuff you can buy over the counter for it there balance active & there supposed to be really good. I'm going to get some tomorrow. Also if u live in the usa or UK u can also buy them on amazon. Try drinking plenty of water & cranberry juice to help to x

Hi, Im 25 y.o . My first BV experience was September last year. I had this burning sensation in my vaginal labia then i saw a white cottage cheese like on it. I feel discomfort and even can't walk/sit normal. Yes, Im sexually active but after this happenned I'm not comfortale doing it because of the pain I feel and some foul smell I encountered. I've done some research and compare mine. I was so worried back then with my situation and also afraid to go and set appointment with OB Gyne because it was my first time. After 3 months of suffering from BV , I've decided to find OB to help me cure this.

My first OB Gyne prescribed me on ultrasound / transvaginal test then papsmear. I was so embarassed because the doctor who made my ultrasound / transvaginal test is a man in his mid 40's. While the papsmear is my dra. (OB gyne). All this stuff is my first time. She gave me a list of medicines like Flagystatin insertion to vagina for 7 days ( once daily at bedtime) and metformin for my polycystic ovaries. After taking the Flagystatin for 7 days my symptoms gone. But it re-occured a week after. I texted my OB and she asked me to go back in her clinic. By that time I was so frustrated because I spend my time and money for nothing.

Due to my conflict work schedule Im not able to go back to my OB Gyne's clinic, instead I just spend my day's as normal as much as I could. I've tried natural home remedies like garlic insertion into vagina evry night, douching hydrogen peroxide, eating yougurt, drinking crandberry juice etc but this does'nt help me at all. Me and my partner still had intimate moments but I never enjoyed it because of BV. Aside from that the trush came from my vagina was so bad to the point that I dnt want my partner to touch it.

July this year, I made up my mind and seek second opinion to another OB. Successfully, I was so happy that my BV cured after taking medicines prescribed me by my 2nd OB. She gave me CANESTIN Vaginal suppository (7 tablets / once a day at bedtime) and metrodinazole (14 tablets) twice daily (morning and night after meal), also folic acid (once daily) as my vitamins. I'm a 1 month free BV survivor (lols)...=)

On my diet, I ate a lot of fruits especially bananas and pineapples. Green and leafy vegetables. Cut totally my alcohol intakes instead drink a lot lot of water. You need to be patient for finding cure. I'll pray that you guy's will gonna be BV free soon.

Please seek advice to OB Gyne, made a papsmear test so that you will know what is the specific reason of your BV. Mine is cocobacilli infection under the category of Bacterial Vaginosis.

You're lucky if you live in UK or US because garlic supplement and lactobacillus acidophilus suplement is available there. Take this if you want to maintain being free from BV.

Do you know what triggers your BV?
