My fiance and I have been together over eight years. I’ve always had my yearly check ups, pap smears and STD screenings yearly. Two years into the relationship, I contract bacterial vaginosis. It is sexually transmitted. I’ve had the same partner which is him and I kept contracting bv for a few months and then it eventually went away with treatment. Now in March I had a reaction I thought was from Vagisil feminine powder because as soon as I stopped using the powder the irritation eased a bit. My fiance from the first week in March until May 8 had beenincarceratedd. My irritation started again in early May. Then it got so severe last week with all the itching and downright unbearable irritation. I told my fiance about it and now he thinks that I’ve been sleeping around, which I haven’t and he thinks I have herpes. I just had a pap smear in March of this year and all was fine. I also had STD screen and no diseases. We would of had our first child together four years ago, but it was an ectopic and my left tube ruptured and I had to have emergency surgery. I don’t know what to think but he makes me feel guilty when I haven’t even done anything wrong. All I do is work, attend college and back home and maybe shop here and there but that’s about it. and I told him about it I have had an STD in my past and told him this when we met. He also told me his sexual history which he said all he contracted was crabs. I don’t know where all of this is coming from but it’s upsetting me. I don’t want to argue with him over this. I visit my dr very regularly. I bet she gets tired of seeing my face! Him on the other hand doesn’t go to the dr at all unless it’s an emergency. I just don’t know? I need some advice on how to handle him when he tries to twist things to make it seem like I’m the one in the wrong about things and I get to feeling like I have to defend myself when I know I’ve done nothing wrong.

Hi, I’ve been dealing with bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection since I took an antibiotic back in December. The worst discomfort is the gas, bloating, and pressure I’ve gotten from it. I took diflucan and did a 3 day antibiotic suppository treatment, and it went down a lot (and improved alot during my period, which I thought was a good sign) but now that my period is done, I am back to having pain/the bad smell down there and I’m getting bloated up and uncomfortable again.
Are there any good treatments for this sort of thing? I’m a virgin, so it’s not an STD. The bloating is very uncomfortable, and now I’m starting to get a pain in my side again. I had an abdominal ultrasound a month ago that only showed I had a slightly enlarged spleen, which I think is more irritated then anything. That got a lot better after the treatment, and it’s no where near as bad as it wa originally but it’s starting to get a little tender again.
Does anyone know of a good treatment? I’m trying to get back to the gynecologist again, I would’ve gone today but she had to cancel my appointment >_< I just wonder if there’s some over the counter or home remedies that might be useful for this nasty combo.

I was diagnosed with BV (bacterial vaginosis) and have been taking an antibiotic (metranidazole) for 6 days now. tomorrow will be my last day on the treatment, but i was wondering if i could have sex tonight with a condom even though i havent finished treatment. although i have seen improvement down there, no more of that foul smell..yeay! will it get worse, i forgot to ask my doctor about this when i went to get the antibiotic and he didnt tell me either, so i wanted your opinion on it.

I was given metronidazole for antibiotics in order to cure bacterial vaginosis. I took my last dose of treatment last night. I was told to take it for 5 days at bedtime. They gave me a whole tube of gel and I still have some left over even after I finished my 5 days of treatment. So what do I do with it? I know I shouldnt take more but should I throw it out? Is it ok to just throw the antibiotic in the trash? I am just not sure what to do. It doesnt say anything on the package.

I am a 16 year old female who was diagnosed with Bilateral Hydrosalpinx. Im confused on exactly how i got this. My doctors said i have PID which also confuses me cause i dont know how i got that either. Now this is the problem. It could have been caused by untreated yeast infections (my parents never explained to me what they were). Or it could have been the result of an untreated STD. Such as Chylamidia. Im confused because i never had the symptoms for any type of std. My boyfriend and i have had sex before but i am monogmous. I have been with him for 3 years, but he cheated on me in december 2 years ago. I started to have pain my lower abdomen on the right side about a year and a half ago. My parents ignored my request to get it checked out. They said its just cramps get over it. Well this week i went to the hospital turns out it is Hydrosalpinx, which is a fallopian tube filled with water, which is caused by PID which is caused by Chylamidia or gonnoreah or a Yeast infection. My doctors didnt tell me whether or not i had an std but they gave me doxcilyin. And i had a laproscopy. Im at home now 3 days later, and im completely depressed. They say Hydrosalpinx is the number one cause of infertility and i probably will have to resort to ivf treatments. My boyfriend says that he didnt give me anything but he always blames himself. His exact words were (MY BOYS SAID THIS IS ALL MY FAULT) instead of him saying i gave you an std. Im confused because i had symtoms from yeast infections not an Std. Idk what im supposed to do. I guess im writting this because i needed to vent, i need support, someone who has been threw the same thing as i, and someone who can maybe tell me if this is from an std (given the past history) or from untreated yest infections aka Vaginosis. Please someone help me.
sORRY about the misspelled words
omg this is helping, i just need someone who wont judge me and think im a bad person for having this, i trusted my boyfriend and he did me so wrong. My results come back tomorrow and if i they are positive i am done with him because its his fault i have to endure all this pain. My pain was in my lower right abdomen and it would come a few days after my period. It would start off dull and then get sharper and sharper and fade away and start up again. It was horrible and my parents kept telling me to suck it up its just cramps. And it turned out it was my fallopian tube filled with water. Now my chances of having kids are almost slime to none. im thinking if i dont have kids by age 25 im going to adopt a capuchin monkey. lol. Im so upset i cant wait to get my results back tomorrow.
I found out that i dont have chylamidia, i had BV

I’ve noticed that I have a certain smell down there when I have sex with my boyfriend. Its not fishy smell, its more of like a body odor smell. Almost like smelly armpit smell. My boyfriend has commented on the smell too! He is being supportive in helping me I’ve never in my life had this problem before and thought it could be bacterial vaginosis but have had tests done and it was negative. The OB/GYN even gave me an antibiotic, metro-gel anyway just in case. I’ve done these treatments twice now, the second round using stronger dose. Still no resolution. I know for a fact that its not an STD either, have been tested for everything. I’ve also stopped taking birth control (2 mths now) thinking that this could be associated but no improvement. I don’t know what else to do. This is getting to the point where I don’t want to have sex anymore because of the embarrassing smell. I have tried using Rephresh vaginal gel and it does work but I want to elimate the problem rather than covering/masking it up. I’m in my mid 30’s. I want to know if anyone else has ever had symptoms like me and what they did to resolve it. Any suggestions would be great.

I have had sex with my boyfriend multiple times, and it seems that after (not during) it always hurts, and the next day I get yeast infection like symptoms, so of course I get over the counter treatments. I have been to the OB/GYN and have had an exam. I did get diagnosed with Bacterial Vaginosis, but I got treated and was better, until I have sex. Is this a serious issue someone else shares with me? It really bothers me a lot. I want to enjoy having a sexual relationship with my boyfriend, and it really hurts his feelings when I complain the days following about how uncomfortable I get. It is uncomfortable to urinate, and sometimes to even sit. It seems like a normal yeast infection, but it happens almost every time we have "relations". I would really appreciate some help. Thanks
