UK BV CURE?
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi, I am 22 and in the UK and have compltely and utterly had enough. I have tried multiple courses of metronidazole and 7 day courses of balance activ BV gels. I take acidophillous tablets twice a day, folic acid and drink lemon water twice daily and nothing works. The doctors are useless and dont realise how much this is emotionally destroying me. Im lucky my boyfriend is very understanding but it is tearing me apart Please can someone help, I dont know what else to do?

Please stay strong I know that's easy to say but getting down just lowers your immune system. Keep reading articles and I found the girls in Holland and Barrett helpful there are drops available for the bath apparently which are tea tree can't say whether they work as I had already bought Canadian and balance flora along with vit c capsules so I spent enough that day....
As for the gum clinic they gave me two lots of antibiotics and a talking about underwear etc which was nice but not really that helpful. My periods are coming every three weeks have been heavy and painful so that may be where my problems lie. Do you have issues with periods?

well i was age 40 when i had depo and then all that happened.
21 months bleeding, i was fine before it, like clock work, the potency of the depo may have caused me ovarian cysts. As they came after all that then the menopause ..
I am age 50 now 16 months post meno
i had BV too this year for the first time, ( hormone related PH too high)
all in order now though
good luck macc

long story but i had a smear in Jan and a hopeless doc here in spain, (they give you your results here to keep) he said all was okay.
i had no odour but felt not right, anyway so it went untreated that was Jan this year.
anyway i then saw a private GYNO in August had the lot checked, he also did another smear and came back BV ( we noticed then it was also on my last result in Jan, i didnt check it as believed the hopeless doc that all was okay, so i had had it months, i also had thrush aswell.
treated with clindamycin vaginal ovules antibiotics for three nights then thrush treatment for 3 nights.. But it came back a month later, so repeated it all again and all is fine now.. I use the eco care vaginal Ph home testers and make sure now my ph is always as it should be.
and also take probiotics acidophilus daily now

After one day of taking this pill already the smell has gone to my amazement, I didnt think it was real. I keep waiting for it to return! However I am still a bit sore and umcomfortable and itchy and dont have the PH test strips to confirm. I read it can take a full month to completely work. I have been taking this for 6 days now and I shall continue to take it till the bottles empty and may double my dose to twice a day. I shall report back if it works, but just so glad the smell has gone, this seems to be the worst sympron of it by far and the real heartbreaker for everyone that has it. I also drink a Yakult drink each day. Heres hoping this works completely ladies *fingers crossed*
