is there some treatment for the man? i know there is for the woman but if the man isnt treated wont he just give it back to the woman?

everything was fine until I’d pregnant, and then the bacterial vaginosis infect me almost everyday, any solution for me?

I am not sexually active but the other day I used this really strong shower gel and it irritaated my skin.
A few days later i noticed a change in my discharge, ‘down there’.
I thought it was thrush so i used thrush tablets but it still didn’t go away.
From what i have read i’m pretty sure it’s BV.
this is embarassing for me because i’m in my late teens and i don’t want to go to the doctor because they have to swab me.
Does anyone know of any good treatments because I’m really unhappy with this.
and, I have no pain or anything, no bleeding. Just a change in discharge.

I am on day three of Metronidazole and the fishy smell still remains…I haven’t even had intercourse. How long should it take after starting treatment will the fishy smell symptom go away? Should I go back to the doctor? This is crazy! What to do???

Have had this for the last 2 years and had it treated 7 times with pills and gells galore. All antibiotics, i read a betadine passary could be used? Is betadine douching or cream effective in the treatment of BV? if so where may i get this? Please help as i want to have a baby and am scared to try because of my infection. Keep in mind i wear a nuvaring, which sits inside the vagina, i wouldnt want to mess up my birth control.

I’ve had BV for almost two months. I just ended a week-long treatment with antibiotics. It went away after about 4 days but just came right back after the treatment stopped. Seeing the discharge is weird, but on the whole it’s not a very uncomfortable condition. I’ve had the same partner the whole time I’ve had bv- it started up right after we became sexually active. It hasn’t really gotten in the way of a good sex life, and I don’t notice any odor. I experience slight itching, but it’s not really bothersome. Seeing the discharge is weird because it’s an alert that the condition is still present, but I could learn to ignore that. Should I just pretend this never happened? Will I face serious health risks if I just let the BV be?

Is it possible for bacterial vaginosis to be in a persons system for a long period of time and even after treatments being attempted, it still remained. But is it possible for it to develop into Chlaymidia? My friend just got word from her doctor that while getting her pap for the BV that won’t go away, she now is positive for Chlaymidia. Her husband just came home from Iraq and she wasn’t with anyone else. He just got tested, and he was negative!! Is there any explanation to this? Please only serious answers! Keep the funny ones to yourself!! She is really distraught about this and her husband is also curious as to how this happened. They were both tested when they got married for STD’s and both were clean…aside from the BV.

I’m pretty sure I have bacterial vaginosis… I hurt myself a week ago and after trying to have sex last night I am even more sore and swollen, and my discharge smells like infection. Sort of like how strep throat smells? I am also a little bit itchy. What are my treatment options? I would really rather not take time off of work to visit the doctor if I don’t have to.

Also note: I’ve been tested for STD’s very recently and always use protection so its not that. I’ve also researched yeast infections and ruled that out as well.

I have a bacterial infection and have been taking flagyl for 6 days now… (supposed to take for 7), but there is still lots of discharge. The odor has decreased some……but Im getting aggravated with the problem. So is it possible that it may not go away for a few days til after you have finished the treatment? My pap smear came back clean and I have no other conditions or any STD’S.

i was treated for b. vaginosis. now i’m being treated for yeast infection, 7-day treatment, miconazole nitrate 2% to be taken as a cream suppository…
has anyone had any experience with this? the doctor said it iss safe, so i don’t think its really hurting the baby…but it is kind of hurting me?
after i put it in i go to sleep, when i wake up to go pee in the middle of the night it hurts to go. its possible that it is not because of the cream that it hurts…maybe i have some sort of UTI? but it doesn’t hurt any other time, and every time after the first pee gets a little less painful.

plus, they’ve sent my pee out to the lab multiple times and it hasn’t come back that i have any kind of UTI or kidney infection, as far as i know. should i just tough it out, or is the pain not normal?
