And that’s why I had to find some home remedies for bacterial vaginosis. I wanted to know how to cure BV without having to keep going to the doctor every other month for antibiotics. Read More...
Hi, my name is Louise Endago
Many hundreds of thousands of women suffer from bacterial vaginosis symptoms all around the world. Most women who suffer from BV end up getting the condition over and over again despite going to their doctor for antibiotics.
Bacterial vaginosis can ruin your life, and I really feel for anyone who has to put up with it.
I went to one doctor after another about my BV for 3 whole years. I went through a huge range of different antibiotics, be they creams, tablets or capsules..
The antibiotics usually helped for a number of weeks, but my condition would always return. I asked every doctor I saw whether there was any other way I could treat my BV, but they all told me there wasn’t. I was told by many of my doctors that there is something wrong with the condition of my vagina, and that I would simply have to live on antibiotics, possibly for the rest of my life.
But I really couldn’t see myself going on much longer with this condition.
My husband started to get suspicious about why I was staying away from him. When my husband did eventually find out about my BV, I still had a hard time getting close in bed. I was also shying away from public, not going out with my friends as much, and keeping myself indoors all the time.

My BV symptoms were about to have me beaten. I had almost had enough and was close to being ready to give up.
So I decided to get out there and take things into my own hands. I left everything in my life behind and for 3 years I went out there and started to search for an alternative cure for my BV.
I spent all of my savings for 10 years on different remedies that promised to cure my BV. I travelled to different countries to meet experts who had claimed to have cured BV permanently in hundreds of different women.
I was amazed by how many different treatments there were for BV. All of these treatments (well the working ones anyway) worked differently from antibiotics, in that they would treat the root cause of bacterial vaginosis by focusing on the environment inside the vagina to get rid of your symptoms of bacterial vaginosis..
The bad overgrown bacteria that you get in BV have no chance of surviving, and are killed off completely when you change the vaginal environment. Changing the vaginal environment doesn’t just kill off the bad bacteria. It also encourages the good bacteria inside your vagina to grow back and take over. When this happens the bad bacteria have no chance of coming back and your condition is effectively cured, as long as you don’t tamper with the subtle chemical balance inside your vagina again.
i have bacterial vaginosis, i have a strong fishy odor down below even straight after iv had a shower, its embarrassing for me and its ruining my relationship as i avoid getting intimate with my boyfriend, im to embarrassed to go to the doctors plus the people iv spoke to about it have said that the antibiotics that they got from the doctors made ther BV worse! i was just wondering can u treat BV with canesten cream?
Last year my boyfriend and I were in an exclusive relationship and then broke up. I thought I had a yeast infection after we were broken up and I was no longer sexually active because when we were together I developed a bladder infection and used antibiotics to treat it. But come to find out it was BV–Bacterial Vaginosis. I’ve read all of the info. on it and it doesn’t seem to be sexually transmitted. The ironic part of all of this is that my ex-boyfriend and I got back together recently and I developed it again. Is this a coincidence or what? Is it because he is a new partner and it somehow offsets my normal bacterial count? I’ve only developed it after having sex with him but know it could be related to other factors. Hmmmm?
Later this month I’m get a physical for high school and I’m pretty sure I have Bacterial vaginosis even though I’m not sexually active. It’s this really bad odor and I’ve been doing research and I’m sure.I’m pretty sure I will be taking a urine sample and I want to know is that another way to diagnosis BV without having my ”privacy” invaded.

I get bv after just about every period and I am tired of throwing my money away to the doctor for him to tell me something that I already know. I’ve been taking the acidophilus capsules for over a week now and they don’t seem to work. I ran across Rephresh which is suppose to balance the ph balance in the vagina. I was wondering has anyone used this for bv and did it actually work?
I’ve read on various sites about using the plain yogurt or capsule/tablets to cure BV. Has anyone tried it? How to get the capsules in there and dissolve?
Here’s where I heard of it, was hoping someone here had actually tried it.
Ok so in 2006 I had what I thought was vaginal warts and/or herpes because I had these itching burning pimple like bumps in my vagina that never went away.
Stupidly I waited to get them checked out and when I did I had a pelvis and vaginal exam preformed and I was told that not only was it NOT an STD, but I had bacterial vaginosis/vaginitis and a yeast infection going on at the same time.
The doctor explained that the bumps were caused by irritation from the yeast infection. Well unfortuantely I suffered from BV up until the middle of 2007 because it just kept coming back. I read that its an infection that just won’t stop.
Well now its come back, but I have no insurance. Medi-Cal has denied me and all the free clinics will want a co-pay even if I have no income. Are there any at home remedies to ease this pain?
I had some swabs done for an STD because i had yellow discharge(gross i know) i had a lot of it, and the tests came back negative for an STD but positive for BV. Is the yellow discharge caused by BV? And does it damage any of the female parts(baby making parts)? Serious answers please!
Also, does BV give you any pain in your pelvis area?
Bacterial Vaginosis..I have pills prescribed to me but I was told not to take them until I started my period again.. Well its late and that’s not usual..What to do.. Can bv stop my period??
I was wondering if anyone has ever had bacterial vaginosis and what your symptoms were. I thought I had a yeast infection, so I took medication, but it has not gone away. I also figured out that it wasn’t intense itching as a yeast infection is (i’ve had one before), just irritated and a twitch here and there. Could this be BV?
I’m not sexually active, so it cant be an STD
I have recently been diagnosed with BV. I have been prescribed metronidazole, which i just started taking. My period is 10 days late today, after 2 negative pregnancy tests. Can one affect the other? I have been stressed this month, so that is also a consideration. Any help is greatly appreciated…
What are the chances of the HPTs being wrong?
I completed my regimen of 500mg flagyl, 2 pills a day for 7 days to treat BV yesterday, and was wondering how long I have to wait before I have sex. The pamphlet I received did not specify. I know obviously I was not supposed to have sex while on the pills, which I didn’t, but am wondering if everything seems to have cleared, when I am safe to have sex again? Thanks!
I was just diagnosed with it and tonight will be my 3rd night but I still have a bit of discharge and smell, is the medicine not working or does it still take the full 5 days (im doing the gel insertion treatment) and with BV did you feel like you have to pee a lot too?
hey guys so i’v researched BV and it sounds like i have it. i’m going to go to my docotor today. but can someone give me all the symptoms or is it just that it smells down there its itchy and you can get some like really foggy white discharge. thats whats happenin down there for me. should i know anything else? is this why having sex with my boyfriend has been hurting too?
I was recently diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (bv) and am on antibiotics (metrogel) for treatment. I know that antibiotics can cause other problems and even lead to other infections like yeast infections afterwards- the doctor did not give me anything to take for yeast afterwards. I was wondering if anyone has taken treatment for bv and successfully avoideded a yeast infection afterwards or if i am doomed to have one.
I checked the sypmoms online on several websites but none of them mentions urination urgency as a symptom of BV. But could it be? Anyone had any experience like mine?
I have all the other BV symtoms and I was tested for a UTI a few days ago and I don’t have it.
I just got from the ER with flu like symptoms, stabbing stomach pain, and vaginal bleeding. I was diagnosed with BV. I have been doing research on BV but have not located where any of my symptoms have been noted. I am scheduling an apt with my obgyn tomorrow. Could there be more issues at hand or just BV? Also can BV cause any other female reprotuctive peoblems? Has anyone else experienced my symptons with BV? Thanks
Which one works better toward getting rid of it for good? I have recurring BV and im sick of it! Ive been taking metronidazole forever and it works for only a month then it returns. HELP!
MATURE AND SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY!! NO BULLSHIT…AND DONT TRY ME EITHER!
I have been having a burning feeling inside the inner labia just under the clitoris. It sometimes looks a little red and sometimes it does not. I recently took Diflucan and that didn’t help. Now I am noticing a slightly thick, milky discharge. I’m starting to wonder if it could be bacterial vaginosis. Would BV cause burning in the clitoral area without causing burning in and around the vagina?
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 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.]
