I was prescribed Metronidazole for BV and was wondering if anyone has taken it? Any feedback would be great. Was it an effective treatment? Thank you!

Today I started taking the really common pill to treat Bacterial Vaginosis.
But I am now feeling as though I have very flu like symtoms with the cold but hot, and the aching body/ nerves. Is this common?

I was prescribed Metronidazole for BV and was wondering if anyone has taken it? Any feedback would be great. Was it an effective treatment? Thank you!

run any tests? I think the symptoms of both seem too familiar?
Anyone know if I should try to seek another doctor or I should go on with the yeast infection treatment?
I also wonder if the bacterial vaginosis can seem to disappear when getting yeast infection treatment?
Thanks.
She said I’m red and irritated "inside". And I experience occasional sting when peeing. My discharge is everything from nonsmelly to very smelly. And usually white or yellow. But I dont experience the typical whiteish as yeast infection usually shows. I feel like being a pain in the ass but I want them to really check it up, I hate when they are making guesses about peoples’ health by just a check. Especially as I’m pregnant.

I was diagnosed with it after getting a divorce Before my divorce my husband NOW EX ran around on me But I am not sure if I picked it up from that or If I when finding another man picked it up Can anyone help me please? As I am with a wonderful man and want to know answers on it Can it come Back or is the treatment that we are using Flagyl the only cure PLEASE I am desparate for answers Thanks and YES I am a middle aged woman and should have known to use precaution So dont anyone judge me Thanks
Ok Now that we are thru taking all the Flagyl can it come back or should I be retested to make sure it is cleared up…..YOU know us older folks dont really know all the answers either THANKS to every one that has responded

ok so everytime my boyfriend and i have sex without a condom even for a minute i end up with symptoms of bv. i know i should see a doctor but cant at the moment so im trying to figure out other cures. in the past, ive used monistat and it gets rid of the symptoms. can you use monistat too much or is all it doing is just taking away symptoms?? what are some other natural treatments?

At first, I was diagnosed and treated for a yeast infection. It cleared up but came back in a couple of months. Then, bacterial vaginosis, also treated and cleared up. A month ago, symptoms started again, and I was diagnosed and treated for BV – but the symptoms did not even lessen (I took Metronidazole orally). Now, I still have whatever it is, and it does not respond to Monistat either. What to do? Tested for STD’s, btw, all clean.

Has anyone used Augmentin to cure Bacterial Vaginosis? If so, is it an effective treatment? Anything else that helps?

I was diagnosed for BV and I went to the doctor, and they gave me a gel to cure it. It got rid of the bad odor BV gives to you but the thing is ever since I started using the gel i’ve been bleeding for the past week and a half. It’s been a lot like a period bleeding, and it has been VERY heavy. I have had no cramps whatsoever, and right now I am on birth control but i’m not even on my sugar pills yet! This hasn’t happened to me before with my pills, just ever since I began using the gel.

I was checking to see if bleeding was a side effect, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I would ask my doctor but unfortunately the office isn’t open right now. Has this happened to anyone else before? I just think it’s really weird, and the bleeding hasn’t gone away yet but it has gotten lighter. I just finished using the gel treatment. Is this something I should be very concerned about??

and that even with treatment it may not go away and the treatment may cause problems with the pregnancy, but un treated it could cause the same problems. i’m worried about this, i was actually told that i had it when i got looked at on december 26th but they are just now getting around to treating it, and they aren’t sure if it’s going to help. what are the risks of having it? and is there anything that i can do to prevent myself from going into pre term labor as they said happens most of the time? just need advice.

First day of my last menstrual period was May 11th.. Its been 3 weeks since I had intercourse and I am now pregnant.. I went to the emergency room last night because I was having abdominal pain, and while I sneezed, stretched or made strength I will have sharp stabbing pain on my pelvis.. I have just finished a 7 day treatment for a Bacterial Vaginosis and yesterday I was diagnosed with a UTI, I just started treating it.. I had an ultrasound to rule out the idea of an ectopic pregnancy.. Doctors said everything looked normal but I dont think the fetus was found.. My Hcg is 26,914.. I think that’s too high considering that my only sexual encounter was just 3 weeks ago..

Is it safe to take the meds??
Will they cause any harm to my fetus??
Is my hcg normal??
Is the abdominal and pelvic pain normal?? My Dr said it may be due to gas.. To take tums.. Is this true??

I would appreciate any answer.. Thank You

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

Can I give it to my boyfriend and does he have to get treated. I’m currently taking my treatment.

I just finished the 5-day treatment…when will the discharge go away? I want to have sex!!! lol

i have got treatment for it they gave me this tampon like thing with cream you insert into your vagina, i tried it and a few days later the infection came back, can anyone help me? they cant give me antibiotics because i am pregnant.

I think I may have bacterial vaginosis. I am on my 6th day of Monistat 7 and I still have some symptoms so I don’t think it was/is a yeast infection. I have NO health insurance so I can’t go to the doctor. I don’t have a planned parenting clinic in my area. We have a health department but the soonest appointment is in May 08!

My symptoms are now;

a not so fresh smell. Not sure how to descibe the smell. Sometimes it does smell a little fishy, but mostly just doesn’t smell good at all. I can smell it even through pants!

A white/clear discharge.

I did have itching, burning skin with it but the monistat cleared the itch and redness up.

I am a virgin so I know it’s not an STD.

Will this go away on it’s own or is there any at home treatments for bacterial vaginosis?

was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and just started taking the antibiotics today. The doctor prescribed me 500 mg, 2 a day for 7 days. I have heard that sometimes it doesn’t clear the infection and also sometimes causes yeast infection. My doctor said nothing about yeast, how will i know if my infection is cleared after taking the antibiotics, or if i have formed a yeast infection. Also, has anyone had to taket his antibiotic? Any weird side effects besides NO drinking of alcohol, i know. ? ALSO: When do symptoms start to clear up whil taking the antibiotics? I’m on my second day. Also my DR, said its non transmitable and said nothing about sex, can i have sex during treatment using a condom?

My vagina has been smelling bad now for a while, i havent visisted my doctor due to the fact that i have no health insurance and well its pretty expensive. Ive had BV before but i would like to know in case i have this again, is it bad if i havent gotten any treatment for it?? Im really worried please help. Also could my husband be a blame for this? I noticed his penus smelled really bad and after having sex with him ive been having this problem.

I have been treated several times in the last year for BV. And after every treatment I get it back about a month later. I am heading back to the doctors AGAIN this month. If anyone has some insight, please fill me in. My doctor seems just as confused. I have actually seen two Drs about this! None of the typical casues apply to me. And I am not fond of yogurt, but if it helps I will try it!

Anyone know a treatment for bacterial vaginosis that doesnt require a prescription?

I am soooooooo nervous that I have Bacterial Vaginosis. I’ve noticed the smell I would say sometime last week, but I figured I just need to shave until I saw the white milky discharge.

The smell has went away a bit but the discharge is still there. I notice it at least once a day and it looks like skim milk (almost clear, a cloudy white), and isn’t heavy.

I won’t be able to get an appiontment until 11 days from now…. should I be worried? Should I get an earlier appointment? Is it anything I can do now to keep it under control?

I’ve looked and see that cervititis has similar symptoms, so I am very nervous, scared and worried…. Can I wait a week or do I need an emergency appointment?

I only have one sex partner, so I really don’t understand this issue…..

Each and every month I get BV. My OB/GYN usually just prescribes Flagyl (sp?) I have also tried the gel for 5 nights. We have tried a higher dose of the medicine and have even tried using the gel twice a week for a month.
Even after all this I still get BV every month.
I hate this. Does anyone know what kind of specialist I could see or know of any type of treatment that may work better for me?
I have tried the yogurt thing and I do take acidolphus (sp?) daily.

Please let me know if you have ANY advice!!!!!
Just a side note to add…. I am very good about personal hygine and using only non-sented soaps ect. I do not reuse towels. once I have used them once they go in the wash.

Fighting BV for the third time, this time i though i’d try the gel/cream since i havent had much luck with the pills. Has anyone used this before? How can you tell if its working or not? What kind of discharge should i have while its in there?
Thanks!

Ok I was treated with oral flagyl for bv.. Now I am pretty sure I have a yeast infection.. I have a thick white discharge. I am itchy and sore. I called my ob/gyn she said flagyl can cause that and prescribed me 2 diflucan and mycolog cream. How long before I see results? Will I get bv back from taking the diflucan? I havent had this problem in years until I switched to KY Jelly lubrication. I am married and have no STD’s. Any knowledge on this would be appreciated. Thanks
Can anybody help?
Is it normal to go from yeast to bv to yeast? how do you stop the cycle?
