Bacterial Vaginosis help.?
Hey everyone,
So i know that i have bacterial vaginosis… what type of oral antibiotics should i take to get rid of it. In my country you do not need a prescription at the pharmacy to access drugs, so i just need to know which ones to buy, how many milligrams, ect.
Or should i just keep the area clean and dry and wait it out?
Thank you.

Hi Carrie,
I’m very sorry to hear that you’ve been suffering from symptoms for so long.
I’m glad you thought ahead to protect your child.
Yes, you should probably think about getting checked out again if you think you are suffering symptoms. Remember, an infection can flare up at any time–pretty quickly, too.
There are many natural remedies you can perform at home, if you’d like. There are also tons of ways to prevent another infection–you just need to read up and educate yourself.
I’ll give you a couple very important tips I’ve learned myself:
1) If you’re having sex, use a condom every time. I know you probably don’t want to, but studies have shown that this is one of THE BEST ways to prevent a worsening of symptoms or a reinfection.
2) Wear cotton panties. Avoid thongs, especially those made of synthetic materials. Cotton will allow airflow to the vagina, thus drying out the environment to make it harder for bacteria to grow.
Try your best to eat as healthy as possible and get as much sleep as possible (though I know that might be hard with the new child and all).
Read up and educate yourself! The best way to treat BV is to prevent it from happening in the first place!

Bacterial Vaginosis, HELP!?
Okay I have been diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis about a year in a half ago, I have been treated several times with metroidazole which yes helps but not for long, the only symptoms I have are discharge and the foul odor which are the worst ones. I had read and research BV for about 5 months now, I have order the book online "How the cure bacterial vaginosis in 3 days" and I even order Femanol. Nothing has worked yet. I was pretty sure the femanol would of work because I spent 70 dollars on it but, I have had no luck! I even before that went out and bought hydrogen peroxide and douched with that and water, I bought folic acid pills, acidophilus pills, garlic pills, yogurt to eat, and I even bought the apple cider vinegar to bathe in. I dont know what else to do. Am I buying the right pills because their are so many to choose from? What kind of yogurt do I need to buy? What else can I try? These are some things that I plan on tying next; RePhresh, femdophilus, and I want to try inserting yogurt vaginally, but what kind do I get to do that, flavor and brand? I dont want websites so dont give me those because I have mostly likely done seen it okay! I just need some help and advice. Thank You

Hmmm…first I am not an MD so I can only speculate and make a suggestion…The first being to go back to the doctor and start over on a medically supervised treatment. I think the treatment(s) may not be working because you have not elimated the source of your BV. If I were you I would stop all sexual contact until the problem is cured. In addition have you considered that you may not have BV and that perhaps you have a secondary infection?

See another doctor for a second (medical professional's) opinion. There are no home remedies for BV. It can only be cured with antibiotics. Make sure you always take the entire course of antibiotics the doctor prescribes. Don't stop taking them just because you are feeling better.

Bacterial Vaginosis!!! Help!?
I have reocurring BV have gone to doctor after doctor and they keep giving me the same thing and now I have resistant bv that does not respond to the antibiotic. I need a herbal remedy and don't say Coildial silver or whatever it is called because it is being pulled by the FDA. Also how come doctors tell you not to douche but you can sit in a tub of water with vinegar isnt it the same thing? Please help fast the itching is killing me!!

Try live culture yogurt or Lactobacillus (acidophilus). Usually BV is caused by replacement of normal flora (good bacteria) by others and these remedies may help to replenish the good bacteria.

try using some type of vagicaine medicine to help with the itching or try using gold bond medicated powder sprinkle just a little in your panties or on a panty liner in your panties

bv is treated with antibiotics…which often lead to a decline in the levels of good bacteria that aid in killing off yeast…so sometimes the treating of bv can lead to a yeast infection…which often can feel similar and be confused with bv. douching is bad it forces stuff (what ever people use) into the vagina and can cause a change in the pH level which will lead to more infections. if you are having intense itching chances are you have a yeast infection not bv. although bv does cause itching intense itching is usually yeast. if you have antibiotic caused yeast infection that is really bad you probably need to see a doctor to get a script to kill it… a really bad one sometimes cannot be curred by over the counter medication. oh and sitting in a tub with vinegar will not be forcing it inside your body, it will just be touching the outside and may help alleviate discomfort.

Check with your doc. but most likely if you have had this before..you know the smell and the symptoms you are probably right. Check just in case though!

Ask her to make an apt for you with the gyno. She will surely ask you why and that will open the door

Are you sure you have Bacterial Vaginosis? You might just have a yeast infection. Maybe you can tell your mom that you just finished your menstrual cycle and you noticed that your vaginal odor has changed and you'd like to be seen by a doctor.

well hate to break it to you but bacterial vaginosis is very awkward and the only thing that is going to make this whole situation better is the proper treatment which is metrogel. You must go to the gynecologist promptly because this requires a prescription and the pH of your vagina is way off right now. The infection will only progress and become worse. Look up planned parenthood in your area to see if there is one and call to make sure you can receive treatment underage as a minor. If they allow it, which they probably will, and you have cash, and transportation to get there and pay for treatment go ahead and do so immediately. If not be upfront with mom, you have no choice, trust me you don't want this to get worse.

BV is not sexually transmitted, it is caused from an inbalance of the pH level in the vagina..and is caused by just about anything from lotions to bath salts and swimming..
it is nothing to be scared about, every woman will get one or more during her lifetime..
so just tell your mom and have her take you to the GYN.
i was a student for an OB/GYN.

RepHresh restores and maintains the PH level. PH imbalance is what causes BV.
