what is wrong with my body?

Posted , 5 users are following.

For about a year or two I have had a very serious case of bacterial vaginosis. Most people say theirs come and go but mine never leaves. Everyday I get a very watery smelly discharge. It's horrible! I'm only 16 and I can't talk to my mom about these kind of things. Going to the doctor is not an option for me. I am willing to try probiotics and cranberry pills. Can someone please help me? Also, I noticed brown patches on my skin that came around the same time as my bv. I've tried to self diagnose myself but I can't find anyone who has similar symptoms as me. My patches are brown and flat. They are NOT scaly or itchy. They do not bother me at all. In fact I'm only reminded of them when I shower. They get lighter in the winter and darken in the summer. The big patches are on my back and on my stomach they appear as small spots. There are now spots on my legs as well. Is this connected to my bv? Can someone help me? What do you think it could be? I am very desperate.

    Baby go to the free clinic to make sure you can get some resolution at least the pills and creams will give you some comfort from the wetness and pain. I've been experiencing the wetness for 21 months. I am working double time to be able to afford the 4000 procedure called V Confidence. I just spent 4000 on Root Canals all of the bacteria has to be out of your body to resolve this disease. I will continue to pray for you God bless be strong My Sista 💓

    I have the same odor that will not go away. I have tried antibiotics, vaginal gels, probiotics, changing to all cotton undies, changing my body wash to fragrance free aveeno,  sleeping without underwear etc. It has gotten a little better but there is still a lingering odor especially in a a car or small room. It’s so embarrassing it’s ruining my life and I am so frustrated. I would recommend getting boric acid vaginal suppositories and inserting twice a week until it goes away. The boric acid gives off a weird smell but not anywhere near the fishy smell of BV. Also try taking probiotics with LIVE cultures and eating Greek yogurt once a day with live cultures. Change all nylon undies to cotton. DO NOT use fragrant body washes get aveeno or something that is fragrance free. Products like vagisil do not work they make it worse. Try all of these things and let me know how it goes in a few weeks.

      We gotta be creative to help our bodies rebalance . I've been drinking Kombuchu for 6 straight days it's a fermented Green Tea or Black Tea Probiotic drink. It's supposed to rebalance rebuild restore our bodies...I will let you Ladies know next week after my dr appointment. The drinks are 6 bucks a 20 oz bottle. I bought B Tea version from my compound pharmacist that taste amazing but the ones I bought from Publix were really strong and bitter but it's about health not yummy taste. I've used so many vitamins as Vaginal inserts,as well as prescription gels,pills and every blood test,Vaginal Test necessary to correct this disease. We gotta keep praying fighting and cleansing our bodies and spirits. I've cried and screamed and prayed for almost 2 years now. I pray something works for us all in Jesus name🙏🏽

    Hey girly I'm so sorry you're going threw this. My bv came when I was 15 years old being in high school and having this was the most depressing thing. I feel for you completely goin home everyday depressed constantly worrying if people could smell me, being embarrassed every single day. It is a living hell, I'm sorry you're going threw this at such a young age. The thug that has helped me is taking 2 balance complex pills everyday, DO NOT drink coffee that sets mine off really bad. Wear only pads during your period and cotton underwear. The boric acid actually made mine worse and gave me a yeast infection everyone's bodies are different unfortunately so what works for one very well may not work for other. You'll have to explore what works for you and what doesn't. Listen to your body, and pay attention to what you eat, and wear. I also started working out witch had help a tremendous amount. I only talked to my mom about my issues a couple of times but but when I did I got prescribed the metro medicine witch helped for about a week. I would def suggest that no matter how embarrassing it is you go to the doctor and the the medication for bv it I was reading it helps 50 percent of women and cured them completely I would give those a try. You never no they could cure you and you won't have to worry about finding the right probiotics. Unfortunately for all of us girls here those didn't work for us but seeing that you haven't tried I think that should be your first step.

    Try a probiotic called Women's Vaginal Health!  It was the only thing that worked for me. My daughter thought of it and it was so wonderful to be feeling normal. I don't use it anymore but it worked great. Its not that expensive and you can probably find it on the internet.
