Help, Chronic Bacterial Vaginosis!?

Are you still looking for that fast and effective cure for Bacterial Vaginosis. If so CLICK HERE NOW! Thanks For Visiting

What if you have gone to the doctor 15 times. What if you have tried the meds over and over again? I suffer with reoccurring BV. I have tried everything. Here is what I have tried:

All known medications (flagyl & metrogel)
Changed my diet (no sugar, yeast)
Cotton underwear
No feminine products
No tampons (pads only)
No sex (two months)
No tight cloths
Wipe front to back
Use alcohol wipe after each bowel movement
Use dye & perfume free soaps & detergents.

The Results:
The meds have destroyed the lining of my stomach causing severe cramping (not related to periods). The doctor should warn women of this side effect.
I lost 20 lbs but still have bv. I am depressed and my husband thinks I’m not attracted to him.

What’s next? I saw on this site where someone used “uritract powder” I can not find this anywhere but I hope to find it and use it! Also, I read about using Tea Tree Essential Oil. I found this at GNC in the mall & I am going to use it. Ideas? Help!!!

A few other suggestions that came to mind while reading here;

If using pads make sure they are organic, cloth or homemade, commercial pads contain synthetics that prevent aeration to the vulva and chemicals that can affect vaginal pH and so in turn affect the natural flora within your vagina leading to infections.

Don’t use soap to wash with, for the same reason as not using commercial pads, because soaps contain chemicals that can affect vaginal pH it can in turn lead to infections – your vagina only ever needs water to wash with and a good wipe within the inner-labia to wash away dirt, your vagina is self-cleaning so can take care of the rest.

Watch out for detergents, you may have a bad reaction to the chemicals in your washing powder, don’t just switch brands but keep an eye on the ingredients in the washing powder you are using – try switching to a more natural brand or not using washing powder at all, there are things such as eco balls you can try instead. Also try adding some tea tree oil to your washing as well as this may help kill off any bacteria lingering on your underwear.

The problem with bacterial vaginosis is that it is not just a case of treating the infection but also trying to reintroduce a healthy bacterial balance within the vagina and keeping any further infections away. For the most part your vagina is very good at taking care of itself, often when it comes to BV I have seen that medications do make the situation worse because although it may solve one problem it can cause a whole load of new ones by killing off not just ‘bad’ bacteria but also ‘good’ bacteria or can cause other infections such as yeast infections being common with antibiotic use.
BV is one of the most common vaginal infections around, but for some women it is a constant problem and then the whole thing seems to turn into a mystery.

I share your pain as I had constant infections, however mine were due to using tampons and as soon as I switched to using a menstrual cup I no longer got infections – someone did tell me something about a type of laser therapy that kills off all vaginal flora you then re-introduce healthy bacteria. Unfortunately I never did find further information on this, however I will say it came from the natural-living line of thought so might be worth going to a naturopath or similar to look at alternative treatments and look at your health as a whole to try to find the cause, doctors are all well and good but they only know so much and often in the end all they do is throw pills at you, I also second the idea of getting yourself a new doctor or at least a second or even third opinion.

As a side note, abstaining from sex does suggest that your partners semen or lubrication are not to blame, although these will affect vaginal pH furthering problems to some degree I would not worry too much about having sex as long as you both make sure you shower beforehand, and bacterial vaginosis is not sexually transmitted.
If you are comfortable with sex then go for it. I know what it’s like avoiding sex, no matter how much you tell them that it is not anything to do with how attracted you are to them your partner still feels a little like it is them and it can cause issues, so it is worth really addressing that problem before it becomes serious.

A lot of the time yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis go hand in hand, although some treatments may not be bacterial vaginosis specific they will deal with more general vaginal health issues. Things like acidophilus [commonly used in the form of yogurt] for example work on yeast not bacterial vaginosis because it works by producing hydrogen peroxide that kills yeast, not the ‘bad’ bacteria in the vagina, however it will help reintroduce healthy bacterial balance.

Have you tried to use boric acid?
This is one of the most successful home methods, and to be honest although tea tree oil will help boric acid is about your only self-treatment option that has any chance of working for you. It can be bought from pharmacies and health stores, if you get yourself some size 00 capsules and fill them up with boric acid, then insert two of these capsules into your vagina every night for a week. The capsules will dissolve in your vagina releasing the boric acid, as scary as it is trust me when I say it is safe, it may cause a burning sensation that should not be uncomfortable and additional discharge so get yourself some organic or cloth pantiliners just in case you need them. If it is uncomfortable then wash out, I’d also say if you have this reaction to mention it to your doctor as this sort of reaction could be a sign of problems relating to your chronic infections.

I know I haven’t really been much help, but what I would say though is to try not to let it get you down and go about treating it a different way.

Some really good advice here and it goes to show that you can treat BV with creams and potions but it will more than likely come back the only way to really treat it is to get in touch naturally with your body. I had Bv for nearly 3 years before I found a great book. If you would like to cure your bacterial vaginosis then take a look ===>Click Here To Cure Your bacterial Vaginosis<===

Chapter 6 – What to Look for in a Probiotic Product

This is Chapter 6 of a 14-Chapter presentation which outlines the science behind the probiotic strains L. reuteri RC-14® and L. rhamnosus GR-1â„¢. This presentation is presented by Dr. Gregor Reid, Ph.D., MBA, who is a renowned probiotic researcher and the world’s leading expert in using clinically-documented probiotics to address women’s health concerns. Dr. Gregor Reid, along with his colleague at UREX Biotech, Dr. Andrew Bruce, have been investigating the use of probiotic bacteria to address women’s health issues for over twenty years. In the 1980’s, their discovery of two Lactobacillus strains, specifically L. rhamnosus GR-1â„¢ and L. reuteri RC-14®, has since led to over 20 published clinical trials and over 200 peer-reviewed publications that have documented the various beneficial effects of these two probiotic strains when taken orally. The health benefits include improved vaginal and urinary tract health, as well as restoration of a normal vaginal microflora profile in women who are experiencing bacterial vaginosis.

i've been having bacterial vaginosis for most of my sex life… which is several years. i keep getting this bacterial infection eventhough i use a condom. i get treated for it by doctor's presciption of metronidazole(flagyl)… then it would go away then after 5 or 6 months… i get it again. my bf got tested and he doesn't hv any infection. i thought maybe i was allergic to latex condom so i switched to lambskin condoms… but resently got BV again. i'm considering not having sex until i find out why i keep getting BV eventhough i use protection everytime. i shower everday. i wipe from front to back. i even wash my underwear by hand w/ soap then toss it in the washer along w/ my other clothes and dry them in the dryer. i wear a pantiliner to keep the area dry. i just don't understand why i keep having this chronic problem. i have an appt with a obgyn doc to discuss this further. anyone who have had this problem and a solution please help. thank you so much in advance.

I had this problem too. Make sure that you refrain from taking baths (only showers), make sure if your bf is going to touch you in your "area" that he has washed his hands with warm water and soap, if you use toys make sure they are sterilized and put away from dust and dirt after every use, stop wearing pantyliner everyday and let yourself "breath", don't wear tight fitting clothes and only cotton underwear. Unfortunately a lot of women are susceptible to BV and we just have to be very careful to try and prevent it. Hope some of this helps, good luck :)

Any ideas?

Last year May I was diag. with bacterial vaginosis and treated with a dose of 3 pills at one time. (I also had an abnormal pap & colposcopy which came out negative.) I did not feel right and went back recently. I was diag. with vaginosis again and was given Flagyl for 7 days. I saw my regular MD for the past month for other symptoms,after a urine test said I had a UTI and gave me a dose of Cipro (3 pills/3 days.) I have finished this dosing and still 2 weeks later know that I am not right. I am going to go back t the Gyn again for a 4th treatment. Before the summer I have never had anything like this not even a yeast infection.

I have been going to my MD for other symptoms such has palpitations, high blood pressure (145/100), dizzy spells, nausea spells, fatigue, headaches, ear infections, flushing, periods of low body temp (94 deg) and low pulse, night sweats, sleep apnea and brown spots on my back. Now Im just nervous that the bacterial vaginosis could be a sign something else??

Could be something else. If it was me, I would get some probiotics. They have given you so many antibiotics I would think your bacterial balance is out of whack. Eat some yogurt or get some acidophilus pills at the health food store. This will put good bacteria back in your body and maybe get you balanced out. It should help with the BV. It will not help with the HBP or palpitations. But one thing at a time.

Bacterial Vaginosis?

okay so i got it after my son was born. then i went on creams and it went away. then a month or so later i got it again. they couldn't figure out how i was getting it because i wasn't having sex. then i went on meds and it went away. they told me to use pads to prevent it but i refuse to use pads. the only time i have ever used pads was when my son was born because i didn't want anything in there. and i was a good idea anyways. but anyways, now i am noticing my BV symtoms coming back. i have not had sex since christmas, so i don't know how i am getting it. please it really bothers me i want to get to the bottom of this so i can make it stop! it sucks! anyone else have a similar experience? the funny thing is i never had BV until after my son was born. now it's like i have chronic BV or something. i'm going nuts, and if i do start having sex again, it's gonna seriously cramp my sex life!
i wipe front to back. my symptom are a weird smell and some extra discharge. this happens every time i get BV. ugh i'm going nuts! plus i'm afraid people can smell me when i stand near them. like it's not a really bad smell, its just not normal. and BV is not sexually transmitted it's caused by a ph inbalance often occuring when semen is in the vagina. they said it can be caused by tampons but probably not.

I have been getting BV since I was in highschool and from what I have learned it's not always sexually transmitted. Some women are just more apt to getting it than others. I have a couple of friends who get it chronically as well and it can became a huge pain in the ass. You will just have to deal with it and keep going to the doctor if you have symptoms. Your doctor should be willing to simply put in the prescription if you get it that often just so you don't have to keep going in. It will not ruin your sex life though so don't worry.

Bacterial Vaginosis?

Hello, what is the best threatment for chronic Bacterial vaginosis ? I just started using Clindesse but I am afraid what if it turns to yeast infection .
Do you have any ideas?

it probably will give you yeast, but yeast is better than BV any day. you can treat the yeast with over-the-counter monistat, so no big deal. for chronic bv, you need to talk to your doctor about all the things that cause bv to see if you may be contributing. douches, perfumed soaps, body washes, sprays, perfumed pads, any anal play during sex that may track bacteria from rectum to vagina, wiping from back to front, bubble baths, lots of sex, your period../. the list goes on. there is a product called rephresh that restores vaginal ph to normal and helps prevent bv from occuring. you can use it every 3 days to maintain vaginal ph in the normal range, it is a change in ph that is responsible for the overgrowth of bacteria in bv

Since around Jan-Feb I've had horrible horrible vaginal dryness. I've been with the same guy for over a year & I'm very happy so I don't think it's a mental thing. I've changed birth control 3 times in hope of that helping. It doesn't. I read somewhere that vaginal dryness may be a cause for bacterial vaginosis.. which I've had chronically since around June. I haven't told my doctor about the dryness because it's kind of awkward.. my mom works for him & is always in the room. I don't want another nurse in there though bc I know them all so I prefer my mom.. she knows about the BV just not about the dryness.. but can the doctor not tell when he exams me? I mean it's pretty obvious. Also, I know lubricants help.. and that's fine.. but I want something to FIX this. not just for the moment. please help!

You need to find a new Gyno! I would never want my mom in the room with us!!!!
