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.
