Hello,

I've been having BV for over 3 yrs now and tried everything and nothing has worked out so far... it's making me depressive and i don't know what to do any more

as long as put boric acid capsules in my vagina the foul smell is gone but as soon I stop using it all the systems come back right away... i went to the doctors and she that my PH is normal and that there is imbalance/ infection. I did the test myself multiple times and it always said that my PH is normal but why are the systems foul smell and watery/ yellow discharge there when it indicates that my ph is normal?

    yes, try changing your diet. I'm not sure if you drink a lot of water but you can try to increase your water intake.

    yep I went the clinic and ph was normal they showed me the test and said they couldn't smell nothing .

    I'm keeping ontop with boric acid or suppositories its all i can do if tests not showing what do we do ? sit back and let the smell do its worst .

    I think I'll have bv all my life .

    I'm single 36 I want a bf but I'm to embarrassed .

    my bv smell has definitely improved since suppositories and boric acid so I suppose I'm thankful for that and my period blood doesn't smell now and my inside vagina doesn't smell I just smell in the vulva area and back passage so to have sex I would need to pop a suppositories up before hand but living with a bf I'd spend a fortune on boric acid and someone else said boric acid made sex hard I forget what she said but she said she was having trouble during sex I'd assume the wetness and discharge.

    I'm out of options totally I've tried it all but a diet maybe I need to educate myself on cutting out sugar and drink water .
