I was diagnosed with a sinus, ear and lung infection (bacterial) yesterday. I work with kids and always get ill this time of year, but this maybe the worst. My MD gave me – along with other RX – prednisone at 40mg. Why would I take a steroid for infections?

I seem to get bv every month? im on mirena does that have anything to do with it?

I have battled continuously with horrible BV ever since I met my partner 10 months ago. In the past I have taken to using vaginal deodorants and wipes and constantly washing to mask the smell – but any one who has ever suffered with BV will know that this just makes it 10 times worse.

My nurse told me that the PH of my boyfriends sperm played havoc with my PH and resulted in me having BV – I was left feeling depressed and hopeless because after each round of anti-biotics I had a normal smelling vagina for about a week before the horrible fish smell returned.
This time however when I noticed it returning I was careful not to wash my foo foo constantly and not to leave sperm in there over night – which tends to make it worse !!

I tried diluting abit of water with plain vinegar and washing my foo with it with a sponge after my bath – and its seemed to help alot with the smell.

Is this home remedy all in my head or can vinegar actually be a cure for BV? If it is then its the answer to my prayers !!

Any one else had any affective home remedies for BV or has experience of vinegar being helpful Id like to hear from you please !!

I was diagnosed with BV, and given Flagyl 500 mg 2 a day for 7 days. At what day will the discharge and symptoms start to disappear?

I just recently got off of antibiotics for a uti and now have bv. What the heck, can the antibiotics have caused this?? (like antibiotics can cause yeast??)

is there some treatment for the man? i know there is for the woman but if the man isnt treated wont he just give it back to the woman?

i took this morning before 12pm, one douse is all that was given. i dont see how long i have to wait to have sex, only drinking is 24 hours. can i have anal sex and no intercourse would that be fine?

sorry this may sound yucky.
Im pregnant with my second child…
But in my 36 weeks I’ve had BV and now im 37 weeks and still have it my doctor gave me some gel to insert into my vagina it say to do it 5 days at bedtime I’ve been doing this since Friday night now when I wake up to go use the bathroom there is like an watery discharge with a lot of white stuff looks like cottage cheese so what im saying is .. so is the gel working cleaning me out? has anyone had BV before during pregnancy? what was it like? could you have sex once it says to stop putting the gel in?

Like, if you were super, super close to somebody, but you both have your clothes on, could you pass it on the other?

everything was fine until I’d pregnant, and then the bacterial vaginosis infect me almost everyday, any solution for me?
