Has anyone gotten rid of bacterial vaginosis by a natural method?

What did you use? I just found out I’m pregnant and I used to have it a long time ago. I don’t want to use antibiotics if tests show I have vaginosis… thanks.

I used RePHresh topically (get it at Walmart or your local drug store-its homeopathic) and took acidopholus pills 3x a day. You can also cure it like you would a yeast infection with a plain yogurt douche for 5 days. It’s not the most fun way to treat it, but it clears it up. You are so full of estrogen right now that it is very easy to get out of balance down there. It’s very common.
I have no idea, sorry but I just wanted to say congratulations!!
Yogurt. Eat at least three servings everyday.
You can tell vaginosis by a simple swab into the vaginal opening and a quick sniff this applies to the majority of cases. Trust me vaginosis smells quite unique and very disgusting.
Some anti-biotics which are safe for pregnancy, when applied topically they are not absorbed into your system. Iodine and silver compounds quickly come to mind. There are also many anti-fugals (for yeast). I would not worry about using ’synthetics’.
BE AWARE, however, alot of ‘Naturals’ contain chemicals which are bad for a pregnant woman. Willow bark is basically Aspirin, for example. Talk to your local pharmacist, his/her advice is free and he/she will be able to point you in the right direction.
I did a bit of research and found this site it seems to offer a natural remedy to ‘BV’ and claims to clear even recurrent bacterial vaginosis in 3 days. Should be worth a look.
