Problems at work because of odor!

Posted , 8 users are following.

Please help! I just got a new job and my BV symptoms are out of control and I'm afraid this is going to ruin my career! I just want to know if anyone else has terrible odor and able to work??? Or what kind of jobs do you have? Work from home? Because I dont know what to do. I am still in college and thought I had my whole career ahead but this is so embarrassing and I dont know if I can go on this way. HELP

    1. You can wear a tampon until you get home.

      @chichi20804 Im not sure that's a good idea, I might go into shock. You tried this? Plus its more than one day. But thanks for the idea.

      @ericka76 Yes, I finished a round of antibiotics but my period came as soon as they were gone. I will call the doctor tomorrow to find out what to do next.

    Hey, first off I'm so sorry you are going through this. I had chronic bv for four years so I understand what you are going through. I highly suggest that you buy off of amazon balance complex for women. I take two pills daily and it has made my symptoms go away. It has also helped thousands of other women who have chronic bv. If you have a bachelors degree you can become an online english tutor for kids in China. It pays 18-22 dollars am hour. You get to pick your own hours as well and its all from home.

      @sydney07157 I will give that Balance Complex, looks like good stuff. Also, are you an English tutor? Do you have the details to apply? Inbox me?

    you should never insert a tampon if u have a vaginal infection as it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease i recommend u see your doctor and ask for 7 nights clindamycin it got rid of mine the first night of using it i had it for 4 years no other medication or over the counter meds worked

    i promise you this works i used to do it everytime after my cycle when it was the worst.

    soak a tampon in part hydrogen peroxide/part water. or get one of those medicine turkey basters. only need to leave the tampon in for no more than 10mns. and its not uncomfortable and my cat works just fine. read that trick in a book i purchased about BV and it was the only thing that worked for me.
