Whenever I get a yeast infection, I just use a tampon plunger to put plain yogurt in there. It has this ingredient called acidophilous, which helps fight the bacteria. It works great. Do this for about 5-7 days each night at bedtime and you’ll see an improvement.
PS – Would the poster above me please site a source so we can read the full information on that web page? Thanks.
I don’t think so, but here’s some info I looked up for you.
BV is treatable with antibiotics prescribed by a health care provider. Two different antibiotics are recommended as treatment for BV: metronidazole or clindamycin. Either can be used with non-pregnant or pregnant women, but the recommended dosages differ. Women with BV who are HIV-positive should receive the same treatment as those who are HIV-negative.
BV can recur after treatment.How is BV treated?
The clinician can prescribe an antibiotic, taken by mouth, called metronidazole or Flagyl®. There is also a vaginal cream. This medicine can cause nausea or a metal aftertaste in the mouth for some people. Take it with food. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL ANY TIME WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICINE. This medicine can cause severe nausea and vomiting when combined with alcohol. Either use a condom or do not have sex until you have finished taking the antibiotic. The clinician can order antibiotic vaginal creams or gels which work just as well, but the cost is higher. The side effects are less with vaginal antibiotics.
God Bless and thanks for reading.
