Gave birth 4 weeks ago now I have odor and itchy burning. I started culturelle a week ago now the past 3 days I’ve had symptoms of BV.
I know it’s not a yeast infection, I’ve had both yeast and bacterial infections and this is definitely BV.

I went to my obgyn for my annual exam and also for infertility, and my pap showed I have bacterial vaginosis. What exactly is it, and is it serious? He did prescribe antibiotics, I was just curious how common this is and what the cause is, and if there are ways to prevent it from returning. Thanks ladies and baby dust for all of you!

i had it once and went to the doctor to get it sorted and just wanted to know. obviously, the doctors are the most effective and fastest so if ever it happens again im there.lol. just curious.

I read it can have no symptoms..and my nurse practioner told me she did not check because there were no visual signs. Is this normal they don’t test for this automatically since it can cause infertility?

I’m alittle over 15 weeks pregnant and I have had BV (bacterial Vaginosis) a couple times during this pregnancy…I’m scared I had it for awhile before I was pregnant and didn’t know. Right now I am on flagyle for it and I’m pretty sure it’s gone…I take it twice a day for 7 days I’ll be done with it on Thursday. Anyways, I read alot of stuff saying Bacterial Vaginosis causes premature labor, and treating isn’t proven if it has an effect in stoping the premature labor…Well I was wondering for all you ladies who have Had this while pregnant, how are your babys? How was your pregnancy?

I’m going for my second pap smear (last one I had was in 2007). What exactly are they checking for and if I think I have bacterial vaginosis do I say something or will the doctor be able to see that while I’m have the exam?

Thanks.
I’m thinking I have it because I had it before and didn’t know. I thought it was an STD for sure (despite all the protected sex I’d been having), but it wasn’t. It was BV.

I haven’t been around anyone sick and I felt fine yesterday. Today, I’m sick as a dog and ended up in the ER. I’ve been diagnosed with a sever bacterial infection which has infantrated my sinuses, both ears, throat, larynx, and lungs. I’m also being treated for a urinary tract infection due to acute side pains. How long is the incubation period? I went to bed symptom free and woke up miserable at 4 AM. How is this spread? Is it from another person or environmental? I would have asked my doctor all this, but the laryngitus has K.O. my ability to speak without pain.

Is the body capable of fighting against these infections even without taking in treatment?
