My case is a mild one and doctor said bv isnt sexually trasmitted and has to do with the vagina's defense system perturbation. I'm not a nympho or anything but due to work i havent slept with my boyfriend for 10 days now, i have a ten days therapy and after that i'm going to have my period! do you think it's medically accepted for me to sllep with my bf now or it will set back the treatment?

I was just treated for bv about a month ago, and it had started out with intense itching followed by abnormal discharge and foul fishy smell. So I know what the symptoms are. But just now I just noticed a fishy smell again, not as intense but still there. I dont know if during certain times of the menstrual cycle the vagina has different kinds of smells, or if this fishy smell is an early sign that my bv has returned.

I may sound unpleasant but ever since I had my son (6 yrs ago) I often get bacteria vaginosis. It is diturbing because it seems like right when i get rid of it, it comes back within a couple weeks. I do everything right. I have only one partner, and follow all the dr's suggestions. Does anyone else have this problem-and if so, what can be done that I dont know about?
We both only have eachother as partners-its not an STD, its more like a yeast infection-a women gets it on her own.
I always finish my medication and they have given me two different typed even-but it still comes back.

I have bacterial vaginosis, I've taken the meds but nothing seems to work. I've looked at other posts on here hoping to find something that will help.

I noticed a lot of people have mentioned that eating more acidic foods helps restore your pH level but I eat acidic foods A LOT. Is it poossible that my pH level is too acidic and thats causing the bv?

I am soooo tired of getting that "can of catfood" odor about me every few months! I am CLEAN! I wash up several times a day! I wear cotton undies during the day. I don't wear undies at all at night, except during Aunt Flow visists. I drink a lot of water. I eat my veggies. You would think with using anti-bacterial soap to wash up, I wouldn't have this problem! I've been getting more bv than candida since I got pregnant with my now 5 year old daughter.
IT IS DISGUSTING! WHAT can I do, besides what I am already doing, to prevent the delicate balance of my vagina from going kerflooee!?
BTW, I am going to the doc tomorrow to get yet another prescrip for Flagil.
If you answer in a smart@$$y way, you will be reported. I am a grown woman with a genuine concern.
Nurse Annie, thank you for the link. [I promise, I practice monogamy!:D Same man for 9.5 years.]

I've been taking antibiotics for the past 2 days for my bacterial vaginosis, and I have 5 days to go. My symptoms are clearing up greatly. Is it ok to continue having sex again? (its with the same guy just in case that has any relavence).

Can someone please tell me how long it takes to cure a bacterial vaginosis with apple cider vinegar. I also wanted to know how does this happen. I clean down there with different types of soaps could that be a reason why it get irritated.
