I have been using scented body wash for years. However recently I was treated for bacterial vaginosis. It cleared up but like 2 weeks after my following period i smell a strong odor. Im not sexually active at the time. I dont wear tight clothes, some of my underwear are cotton.

The doctor diagnosed me with BV a few months back. I’ve had to go to the doctor two times to try different medication. On both medications, i got a refill, so basically I tried to get rid of the BV 4 times. It just wont go away. I dont know whats wrong with me. Im so sick of having to pay for the doctors appointment when I know it wont go away. Any advice? Is my BV so bad that its going to take a lot of treatment or something? or do some females just have BV and it wont go away. Please help me

My husband is a lab technician and due to some mild discomfort we discovered i have bv ( bacteria vaginosis) anyway i have some metronidazole pills that exp. 11/11 but is it still safe to take them and will it still be effective. This pill is commonly prescribed to treat bv. So should i take them?
11/10 is the exp. date sorry

Hi well I was wondering if I had unprotected sex is it possible I could have gotten bacterial vaginosis? And also I am only 17 and I cant exactly tell my mother that I have a problem because I do not want her to know I’m even having sex so is there any way I could fix this problem by myself?

For a year now I’ve had the same symptoms of what the doctor told me was BV, bacterial vaginosis. My vagina has a strong odor of ammonia and I can smell it through my clothes and my discharge goes through my underwear and sometimes my clothes. I’ve gotten antibiotics for it at least 3 times and I shower everyday. It is painful, itchy, and sometimes swells. Also, I have had many STD checks just to make sure and everything seems to be fine with that. It’s really affecting my life.

I’ve researched it and it says the main symptons are itching, really strong odour and soreness and white-gray coloured discharge. So, my discharge was a yellow colour, but I have no other symptoms.
I also read the only way to get rid of it is get antibiotics from a Doctor, but as I’m not in any discomfort I’d rather not do that. So are there any natural remedies? I figured I’d just drink loads of water and cranberry juice in case.

im 19, and ive been battling this infection for a couple years. it just doesnt want to go away. i went to the doctor, got prescribed a vaginal insert antibiotic called metornidazole, it didnt work. i didnt really notice much of a difference. it worked for a little while and it came right back, it wasnt even a month. i figured why go back to the doctor, antibiotics dont work and they dont work for a lot of people. this infection is really hard to get rid of.

i tried an over the counter BV treatment. its called vh essentials bacterial vaginosis treatment. it worked great once i first started using it. smell was completely gone, so was discharge. but now as im finishing the treatment, the smell is coming back and i have no idea why. im worried that every time i get off of it, it will just come right back.

im thinking about buying another box of the over the counter stuff because there are no side effects or anything and it keeps the stink away. but i dont want to be on this stuff forever.

are there any probiotics i can take that are good for bv? or any natural remedies? i will go back to the doctor if it gets out of hand but i see it as pointless because theyll just give me the same old antibiotic again.

I am not a virgin but my parents do not know that. I am almost positive I did not get this from my boyfriend because we have been together for 4 months and I am his first in two years and he is my first ever. It could be, though, and I accept that. But if the doctor asks if I am a virgin, I will say yes. Is it possible to have BV and still be a virgin?

Okay I know for a fact it’s not ovulation because I am on birth control and have been for 6 months now. I already know vaginitis is caused from tampons.
Here are my symptoms clear mucous looking but also lumpy. Sometimes it will only be lumpy sometimes only mucousy. Sometimes but not all the time there is a smell. Which would remind me of a yeast infection. But I thought all people who had yeast infection had the horrible itching and rash/ breakout which I do not have. So could I still have a yeast infection without those symptoms, or is it something else?? Thank you all:)

Like literally I’ve had bacterial vaginosis 3 times in the passed 6 months and like 5 yeast infections. I got HPV which is sexually transmitted and people kept telling me that it wasn’t that bad hpv isn’t a bad disease because you can get it from skin on skin contact but I DON’T CARE! Any disease is bad. Especially when ur not used to having any. I never told him about any of this because I felt like he was going to say im a whore or its my fault I never even had a yeast infection until he and I started having sex. On monday we started to have sex and I was just thinking about how I just got rid of a bacterial infection and I just got scared and stopped. He was so mad and hasn’t spoken to me since. I think we broke up. Im just so scared and I don’t know how 2 tell him that he’s causing me to get all these infections by ejaculating inside of me. We’re both 23 and I go to the gynocologist eveytime something is abnormal
