usually they give you a cream to use, Metrogel, i think.

If you are sexually active, the other person may be giving it back to you each time.

get a prescription for some pills and it should go away. I have this problem i think, cause i always smell down there and its embarassing.

rinse and wash daily, if not more than once a day if it smells like that, thats what i have my girlfriend do, and sometimes i help her wash it in the shower? that always works too, team effort!

I was diagnosed with bacterial vaganosis when I was pregnant it basically when you have more bad bacteria in the vagina then good ones. I was prescribed a medicine called flagyl it gets rid or it. There is a certain way that you have to wipe and wash your vagina. I didn’t know this you have to wipe from top to bottom all the time. Which is from the part that is closer to your stomach to the part that is closer to your butt. Not wiping this way can cause bv and after it goes away it can bring it back. Also try using a plain vinegar and water douche no fragrance. If this doesn’t help then you will need to go to the gynecologist. Good luck

Take probiotics…

During the antibiotics to cure the infection, take a probiotic (good bacteria) pill in between the antibiotic doses – has to be at least 2 hours before or two hours after to work.

Continue with the probiotics after the antibiotics are done and you may find you have fewer or no infections anymore.

I would recommend you to try the "3 Days To Permanent Bacterial vaginosis Relief" eBook that written by Kristina J. Tomlin a chronic vaginosis sufferer that found a scientifically proven way To permanently relieve embarrassing odor in just 3 days.

you have to go to the doctor’s and get them to take a look down there to see if you have an infection. if you do, they’ll more than likely prescribe you flagyl. you take 3 pills a day for a week, and it goes away. if you have a yeast infection, they’ll probably tell you to get an at-home kit to take care of it.

but, go to the doctor to make sure you have an infection before you do anything.

I got this when I first got pregnant. It really sucks, and for a lot of women/ girls it is recurring. This is what I did. I took the pills they gave me, drank 1 glass of cranberry juice in the morning and evening, ate yogurt (with live cultures) for breakfast and any time I needed a snack. I also read if you stick some yogurt on a tampon and shove it up there, it will help kill the bad bacteria. I didnt try this, but many others did. Cranberry juice and yogurt will really help you out though! Good Luck, I hope you beat it!

Strange as it may sound, being too clean is often what causes the problem in the first place, try just using a warm flannel not, hot, to wash, NO soap, It is more than possible that after the antbiotics you have got thrush, the symptoms are very similar. Go to your GP get a swab done and they will then know which treatment to give you.just keep taking warm baths until the swab results are returned. It will ease the symptoms, the tampon trick that someone else mentioned also helps, but do please consider it may now be fungal not bacterial

you were given metronidazole it should have been a five day course of 3 pills a day, you must finish the course, you should also have been given antibacterial cream

If you were using Metrogel, you should have used it twice a day for 5 days. Even if the symptoms feel like they are going away it’s very important to continue to use the gel until you are scheduled to stop, otherwise the infection just comes back. They only give you 5 applicators so it’s very important to wash the applicators with warm water, soap, and dry them really well. If you are taking Flagyl (Metronidazole pills) you should also take 2 a day for 5 days, same thing with the Metrogel, don’t stop until you’ve finished the dose! That’s the key to getting rid of it. The bacteria is still there even if you have no symptoms so using all the medication is best.

The website Amber gave you is excellent. It says:

Treatment options for bacterial vaginosis include:

In about 1 out of 4 women, bacterial vaginosis symptoms resolve on their own.1 This happens when the vaginal lactobacilli organisms increase to their normal levels, and other bacteria levels drop.

Antibiotic medication (oral or vaginal). Antibiotics can kill the problem bacteria causing bacterial vaginosis symptoms but sometimes don't reverse the underlying cause. Therefore, symptoms recur in about 1 out of 3 of women after antibiotic treatment.

For some women, bacterial vaginosis goes away without treatment.

To my knowledge, bacterial vaginosis would need to be treated with an antibiotic. The over-the-counter products treat yeast vaginitis, which is a completely different type of infection.

bacterial vaginosis is caused when there is a disruption in your vaginia and your normal flora is over grown. Lactobacillis is normal flora, it's also what keeps the pH in your vaginia lower than the rest of your body. I would think that by using the pH creme, it would help your lactobacillis regrow over the bad stuff that has taken over.

I have tried the RePHresh and it seems to work but only works for about 3 days like it says it will then you have to use another one. I have searched the internet countless times for something better to help and I have yet to find anything. But everything reacts different with everyone
