I went to the doctor and was told i had bv. I got put on metronidazole and nothing has really changed. I know to stay away from yeasts, eat yogurt, and refrain from douching but im going crazy. I know i smell and its not that im not clean. i really need some advice
i’ve heard from many different sources that douching is very bad for you. that it messes up your ph and can make things worse. Also, i want to stay away from deodorants and sprays as i’ve heard they too can make things worse

First off, don’t listen to a lot of the other posters. Comments suggesting deoderants, douches, and pantyliners are all things that could make the situation worse.
The smell will not completely go away until you have completed your series of antibiotics. In the meantime though, to lessen the smell, you can:
Take more showers
Wear less constrictive clothing
Wear cotton clothing (especially underwear) and stay away from unnatural fabrics.
Drink plenty of water.
Eat lots of vegetables and fruits (but particularly stay away from asparagus, it can make the smell worse).
put deoderant
try dushing or babby powder
Im from the old school And I would still douching But with water only
try vagisil.
use baking soda it obsorbs.
might help
take 3 showers a day.
Drink alot of water to flush everything out. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Hope that helps.
Pantyliners work for me to cover the smell, NOT to get rid of Vaginosis. I know this from experience. I have had vaginoisis a couple of times.
Natural Yoghurt on a tampon and up your cooter. Don’t use the flavoured kind, Greek or European only, it doesn’t have sugar in it.
I would recommend you to try natural treatment.
"3 Days To Permanent Bacterial Vaginosis Relief" is great eBook that suggest proven natural way to cure bacterial vaginosis.
