Very frustrated😢 Bv after bad birth not going away...diet changes??

Hey Hun. I am sorry to hear about all that you went through with birth. I pray all goes well. I have tried diet changes and have taken every gel, vitamin and antibiotic you can imagine. Still hasn't worked for me! Everyone says vitamin c inserts work, but my doctor doesn't recommend it. I also don't want to have an allergic reaction to it and cause more complications. I've had bv in the past, but it took about a month or two to go away. This time I've had it for 3 months. The crazy thing is all the other times I had it I didn't have to change my diet and I didn't do anything different.

This seems strange as I suffered with BV for 3.5 years & after every course of metronidazole it cleared up. As soon as I'd had intercourse it would come back.

We split up 6 months ago & ive not had any issues down below. Wether it was his semen too alkaline or he was carrying the bacteria I'll never know. I've got a new partner and I'm still fine.

Have you been to see a gynaecologist in case you have a tear up inside that's been missed?

My friend had a similar problem after child birth & this was the case.

Stay strong, I had terrible depression when my children were babies. Get plenty of rest and do things that make you happy. Enjoy your little one, they grow up too fast xx

I found that diet really helped me. Staying away from carbs, sugar, alcohol, and caffeine. I saw my doctor on Friday and stress and douching and antibiotics all make it much worse. And since j stopped stressing and stopped tea tree and all that stuff. My vagina is back to normal. My doctor told me our vaginas will balance themselves out. That's what they do. But, when you douche and take antibiotics it throws it even more off balance. Vitamins are good for the immune system so keep taking those and eat a lot of plain yogurt and take probiotics orally and vaginally. And it will clear up. Best of luck!

Hi , just wanted to let you know that I suffered from bv for over 3 years.. I did take the antibiotics, but the bv retuned. I did a lot of research on natural ways to rid myself of the bv, I have been bv free for over 6 months now .

I inserted tea tree suppositories for 1 week

Drank one glass of Apple cider vinegar per day for 1 week

Stopped drinking caffeine for 1 week and fast foods

Took one probiotic pill per day for 1 week

I've stopped using tampons as well.

I hope this works for you

Thank you all for your kind words and valuable advices.

Here is an update after seing Gp this morning. To my utter suprise my swabs came back as negative. I was examined and all looks normal even the discharge apparently....the redness and burning can be dryness or condition similar to eczema she said. I was given a strong steroid cream. I am scared to apply this down there but I suppose I better follow the advice......well no Bv so happy days😁 thank you again xxx
