how is Bacterial Vaginosis treated? do you need to see a doctor or is there an over the counter method? is it the same as a yeast infection?
Thanks

Last Tuesday I went to the doctors for a sports physical. I had to do a urine test. Would that diagnose a bacterial infection? I’m pretty sure I have one.

i had a threesome for the first time with my bf and a friend on the 21st of june. she came straight to our house from work im guessing bc she never took a shower or im guessing even washed her hands. so my bf went straight from her to me with no condom and im guessing her hands were dirty when she fingered me. well i know this is tmi but i need to know. I have the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, such as the itching and burning even during urination, its getting better, i had imflamation of the vulva, and odor. but im so curious as to why i have bumps on the inside and kind of on the outside of the opening of my vagina. they are kinda inflammed as well .i was wondering if those bumps are normal or theyve always been there and there just inflammed bc of the infection? Please give me some advice.

I am 37 weeks pregnant and I have BV the doctor gave me some gel to insert into my vagina 5 days at bedtime which im doing but when I wake up in the morning to use the bathroom and I wipe its an watery discharge & it looks like cottage cheese. is it working? does this happen? has anyone have had this before? Im going to talk with my doctor about it I go to my check ups now every week.

and i am 18 months pregnant
i meant 18 weeks

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?

i have had bacterial vaginosis for about 6 months and the doctor gave me metro-gel but i am scared to use it, i dont know why.has anyone used it and what does it feel like? does it burn the first time you insert the medicine? please tell me what it does. I think you have to use it for five days or so. I am tired of having bv but i am scared to use the medicine.

I’ve been dating a guy and we have sex often. I’ve only had one sex partner and we both were virgins and clean. The guy I am dating now, has had more than one partner but has been tested and is negative for any stds and such.
I’m on birth control and he doesn’t use a condom – First
time we had sex was fine but after a couple days I guess I began to smell something fishy and I was itchy in my vagina.
I thought it might be a yeast infection but I knew it couldn’t be a yeast infection since usually I smell sweet not fishy. I waited a few days, and it cleared up – not itchy or smelling.

However I had sex with him again.. and now it’s back to being slightly itchy and kind of fishy.
I’m not sure what’s going on, could it be bacterial vaginosis?
Or stress (because I have been stressed greatly since I have been dating him and have been dealing with family issues and school)

I have read that people often get BV from having a new sex partner, what does that mean?

If it is bacterial vaginosis is it serious and can it go away without treatment? Or is it necessary to get treatment?
I also have never had a fishy smell from my vagina before until now – only sweet smells from yeast infections.
and he doesn’t finish in me.

My wife is severely suffering from bacterial vaginosis. We are in China now but it seems the chinese doctors are not that good in medicine. Please help us with your advise.

This is very long in my head but I’ll try and make it short. My girl friend and I have been together for a year. Between each other it has been our first time at everything.
The first few times I fingered her she started out dry and there was no smell at all. We started having sex occasionally and still would finger her. One day, she discharged for the first time unexpectedly and there was a little bit of an fishy odor…. that was about 5 months ago. Since then, she’ll discharge a slighly yellow discharge with a fishy smell when I finger her and her vagina is always wet and always has a smell. I’ve been reading for weeks about women and related topics to try and get answers for her since she still lives with her parents and can’t easily go about research or help. I’m thinking it is bacterial vaginosis… I want to know what others think. There’s no itch but simptoms are, pain during sex if I go to deep, cramps after sex, smell, wetness. Any ideas or home/store remedies?
trying to solve this without going to gynacologist… would not be easily done by any means.. thanks
