This is kind of embarrassing, but I’ll get over it. I recently finished taking antibiotics for a Sinus Infection, which left me with a nice little yeast infection…(or so I think.) When I got the antibiotics, I asked for Diflucan, because I normally get yeast infections with antibiotics, but this time it’s different. I took the Diflucan on Friday, and I still haven’t felt any relief. At first, I could tell it was a YI, because of the itching and the cottage cheesy discharge. That discharge has gone away, but now I have a yellowish/green discharge. Keep in mind, I’ve had Bacterial Vaginosis several times, and the symptoms seem familiar, but I don’t have the foul odor…Just discharge, swelling, itching. I’m so uncomfortable. I HAVE been tested for STD’s…ALOT (I’m kind of paranoid – even though I’m in a monogamous relationship)…and I’ve been negative for all the other common STD’s. I’m at a loss….Anyone? Could this still be the YI or BV again? Ugh

I was diagnosed with BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) at a pelvic exam, I have no symptoms other than slight yellow discharge. No smell, no itch, no pain, nothing.

Does this mean I have mild BV? I know 1/2 of people who has BV has no symptoms, does that means they have a mild case?

I thought I had a bladder infection so I went to the doctor and got on some pills that made me feel sick to my stomach and have diarrhea, then I realized it wasn’t a bladder infection at all, it was bacterial vaginosis according to my Gynecologist. So now I’ve been off the bladder infection meds for two days, and have a new gel like vaginal medicine that I’m going to start tonight… but earlier today I still had some diarrhea and upset stomach symptoms? Why is this? Help please.

I’m almost positive I have BV, I’ve never had it before but I’ve searched the internet and that is exactly what my symptoms are. I am scheduling a gyno appointment for next Saturday.

How fast will I get results? And can someone explain how someone gets BV, is it an STD? I’ve only had 1 sex partner.

Try not to copy and paste things from sites because I really don’t understand that. lol

Anyone out there can give me a short paper, about 200-400 characters on Bacterial vaginosis? Causes, symptoms, definition, etc! Need this by the morning!

I noticed that I have an odor in my vaginal area and when I talk to my female friends about it they say that the vagina is not suppose to have an odor. But I know mines does because I have always had a ceratin smell but anyways now i think that i might have an infection becuz I have an odor. I don’t have any symptoms though
it smells musky especially when i urinate i just assumed it was normal for it to have an odor. Sometimes it smells stronger than other days though

Can you take any type of antibiotic to get rid of bv? What are some natural things I can do to get rid of the symptoms? I’m to scared to tell my mom about this bc its embarassing!!! I have way too much vaginal discharge. I’m still a virgin so I know its not a STD or yeast infection. someone HELP

I am late on my period… i should have had my second period this past weekend. I have had tender breasts for the past 2 weeks, and other symtoms which seem like pregnancy symptoms. I have been testing for pregnancy and all tests have come up negative. I went to a clinic and was told I have bacterial vaginosis. I was given medication to treat this. Can Bacterial Vaginosis delay my period? I will be getting a blood test done soon to ck for pregnancy.

A few months ago, my gynecologist diagnosed me with bacterial vaginosis. He gave me a prescription of Metrogel with a refill. I used the medication as directed, and the symptoms cleared up for a couple of weeks at best. He told me that it might come back, so I had the prescription refilled. The symptoms are still occurring. Now, what? I’m very frustrated. It’s affecting my self esteem to say the least, and it’s definitely interfering with my sex life.

Everytime i go to the the doctor they give me the same medication but it dosesnt seem to work cause i still have the same symptoms the first couple of times it did work but now it doesnt what can i do?

I have terrible bacterial vaginosis symptoms and and antibiotics just don’t work for me. I’m tired of useless creams and ointments, can anyone recommend something that works?

The symptoms seem the same.

Hi again,

My doctor gave me two medications as stated abovve–does anyone know which one is for bacterial vaginosis and which one is for a yeast infection?

Also, my doctor said I had an enlarged uterous…with these symptoms…negative urine test for pg, but she is taking blood. does anyone know the cause of a large uterous?

Thanks!!

I have bacterial vaginosis, what happens if I don’t take the Flagyl? Will it clear up on its own? the symptoms arent that bad just annoying. I know it sounds stupid but I wanted to drink this weekend and I know I’ll get sick if I drink on Flagyl. I just wondered if anyone had this experience.

I heard it keeps coming back.The Medication is almost done and My daughter is still having the same symptoms. What should I do, How do i prevent it from coming back and does anyone out there know anyway of making her feel better.

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 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 have bacterial vaginosis. ( I read up on the symptoms on the internet, and am positive I have it, plus I am also pregnant – and I’ve read that it happens a lot during pregnancy. ) Is there any kind of medications I can just buy in a store without having a prescription? I don’t have money or health insurance to go to a doctor and have something diagnosed that I already know I have. Please let me know.

I noticed the symptoms just after sex. I didn’t shower right away. But it wouldn’t have washed away all the semen even if I had. I don’t want to douche every time I have sex. What else can we do? Should my SO be treated for BV also?

I have had my period for about 6 years. I have only had sex twice and i think i have bacterial vaginosis. My discharge is off white and sticky and it smells verry fishy ALL the time, and i have more discharge than normal, but my vagina is never itchy or red. Are these symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?
Is there a cure for bacterial vaginosis?
How did i get it, and will it go away by drinking alot of water?

I thought I had the symptoms but my doctor said she didn’t find it and couldn’t smell anything. Is it possible that she missed it or that the test was wrong? Should I ask for another test?

i have this for 9 months now and i thought it’s not a big deal since i come across about BV in the internet and feared it was really bad since i am pregnant in my third trimester! it worries me so much! i have not consulted a doctor since i thought that it just a simple discharge that can be cured with lactacyd or any feminine wash. im so worried that this might affect my baby’s development as well as his brain. can i still cure BV in my third trimester? would it have any complications? im searching for any herbal remedies, can anyone recommend the best way to treat it? do i really need to see a doctor for this since i do not experience any other symptoms except my discharge is milky and have a very foul odor, though its not painful to urinate and the like..

I haven’t been diagnosed yet, but I think I may have the right symptoms for bacterial vaginosis (foul smell, itchy). I’m on my period so I don’t know if I’m having weird discharge. I also just lost my virginity, which I heard can add to the cause (new sexual partner).
I’ve never been to a gynecologist. I want to seek treatment/diagnosis from a doctor but this is something that I can’t let my parents find out about; should I go to Planned Parenthood, or can I go to a gynecologist w/o my parents finding out? Also I’m not sure how I’d pay for all of this so would Planned Parenthood be free?

ALSO, are there any home remedies I can try in the meantime (I’ve heard yogurt)?
