I went to the doctor and got perscribed flagyl 500 mg and it didn’t fully clear up so i went back to another doctor and she even did all kinds of tests kinda like a papsmeare and said it was definetely bacterial vaginosis. She gave me flagyl again and it still came back??? Any ideas on what else i need to do to clear this up??
yes i am sexually active with my husband. I didn’t realize that it could go back and forth between us. Do i need to have him go and get medicine too? Are there any serious risks that come with this? i’m a lil worried
Here is the selected answer for your question:
An eight-year vaginosis sufferer myself, I will show you how I cured my bacterial vaginosis in three days the natural way and helped thousands of women do the same.
I'm about to reveal to you, scientifically-proven secrets that cured my bacteria vaginosis in three days, without any harsh prescription drugs or the never-ending cycle expense of over-the-counter products that don't work, and how it changed my life forever.
Here Is What You'll Learn To Permanent Bacterial Vaginosis Relief in 3 Days.
Are you sexually active? Your partner can also have the infection. We call bacterial vaginosis the ping pong disease for a reason.
EDIT: Yes, that would be how you are getting the repeated infections. It’s usually not symptomatic in a guy. Have him get seen and get a prescription for flagyl as well.
Under the presumption you took the full course of Flagyl, you may want to consider the other treatment for bacterial vaginosis which is clindamycin. However, seeing as how these antibiotics disrupt the pH of your vagina, it could be that the initial dose was too strong and only worsened the condition. Go back to your original doctor and enquire about this. In the meantime wear clean, dry cotton underwear, avoid taking baths and using heavily scented lotions, body wash, etc. and wipe front to back.
"Dr. House" does not have a point. Any woman can get BV and you don’t have to have sex to get it. Sexual transmission has never been proven. BV is a common infection and bacteria are a natural flora of the vagina. Flagyl is the drug of choice when it comes to treating BV and it can be given as a topical vaginal gel (MetroGel). Suggest this to your doctor as well as asking about other antibiotics used to treat it — Cleocin (both oral & vaginal), Clindesse (vaginal) and Tindamax (oral). The vaginal forms come in cream, gel or suppository. I really think you could use both a systemic and topical but speak to your doctor about this. BV isn’t something you can treat yourself.
Remember: Don’t drink alcohol while on Flagyl. You’ll get sick to your stomach. The vaginal forms are less likely to cause side effects.
Ok, I know I’m probably going to get all kinds of thumbs downs, but when you have been dealing with this stinky menace for as long as I have- you dont care!
I’ve been to countless doctors, been on every anibiotic under the sun, tried shoving yogurt and various probiotics down my throat and up my vag, and this is the onlything that has EVER worked for me. 3 months and the bv is still GONE. By the way, my husband was treated once (we were both treated simultaniously) and my last doctor simply informed me that my hubby’s sperm was "wrecking havoc" on my vagina’s ph. Said to try using condoms. LOL like we had’nt tried that yet!?
I want to shout this from the rooftops- but I won’t, because then I’d just be that crazy lady shouting about her vajay jay from the roof ?…
. I tried it, it works. Like really, really works. No smell, no itch, no gushing discharge, no more embarrassment, it WORKS.
And I even have REAL scientific evidence to back it up. So forget what you’ve heard about NEVER douching. THIS ONE TIME, THIS ONE WAY IS OK!
Use an empty douche bottle or 30cc syringe, fill with hydrogen peroxide, and squirt er up there. Kinda try to hold it in for a while, and then let her loose. Do it every night for a week. If it burns a little, then there is organic matter up there (like dried blood and gunk) or you may have tiny tears from a recent sexual encounter…. You can dilute the HP with water, and it will take care of the burn. After your week is up, use it for maintenance. How ever often you need to- if you get funky after sex, just do a quick cleanse, and you’ll be good. No more relapses, no more going to the doc every month, no more wasting money on expensive flagyl and gel etc. I swear, doctor’s don’t tell you about this because it’s just so cheap and easy. Plus- it really cuts down on business
I mean imagine, if all of us stopped going to the gyno just to get yet ANOTHER prescription for our bv. They’d surely go out of business! 
Good luck, and get ready to be confident about your lady parts again!
Ok- here is the most condensed, straightforward least medical jargony study I could find. Feel free to search it yourself, I promise you’ll like what you find ?

AIM: The authors have evaluated the real efficacy of using hydrogen peroxide for previously treated recurrent bacterial vaginosis that is resistant to other forms of treatment. METHODS: The study included 58 women aged between 18 and 42 years old. Vaginal irrigations with 30 ml of hydrogen peroxide (3%) were prescribed in the evening for a week. The follow-up was carried out 3 months after the end of treatment. RESULTS: The results clearly show that the use of hydrogen peroxide in vagina can eliminate the main symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, and in particular the malodorous leucoxanthorrhea in 89% of cases at 3 months after the end of treatment, a result that is comparable to that obtained using metronidazole or clindamycin as a vaginal cream. Moreover, hydrogen peroxide facilitates the restoration of normal vaginal bacterial flora (represented by H202-producing lactobacillus) in 100% of cases and normal acid pH (pH<4.5) in 98% of cases; it also fosters the disappearance of clue cells from vaginal smears and anaerobic pathogenic flora from vaginal secretions in 100% of cases. The amine test became negative in 97.8% of cases. All results underwent statistical analysis and were found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Hydrogen peroxide represents a valid alternative to conventional treatments for recurrent bacterial vaginosis, and associates the absence of collateral effects with low costs, excellent tolerability and real therapeutic efficacy.

the infection will not spread from you to your husband since the harmful bacteria responsible for bv is incapable of surviving in the male organs.
in almost 70% of women who take conventional medicines to treat vaginosis the infection reappears bcoz the medicines merely provide symptomatic relief. They do not address the root cause
