I'm 23 weeks pregnant with bacterial vaginitis and it won't go away! Has this happened to anyone?
I would love all of the advice I could get… It all started 2 weeks ago, I went to the obgyn 2 weeks ago and they said that I had a yeast infection and they prescribed me terazol, I used it that night and woke up the next morning all swollen and red down there, they told me to not use the terazol and the had me take diflucan, 3 days later I still felt horrible and I went back, now they said that I had bv (bacterial vagiitis) and prescribed me metronidazole gel for 5 nights, I went back 3 days later cause I felt worse, they said that I still had bv and the yeast infection came back, so they told me to finish the gel and to take a diflucan that day and 3 days later take another one, so now it has been 2 days since I finished the gel and 1 day since I finished the diflucan and I still feel very irritated and uncomfortable, the symptoms never eased up!! I can barely stand because the pressure makes it so much worse!! I’m so upset because I’m pregnant and don’t want to be taking all of these meds!!! Has anyone ever had this problem or know anything about it? Please help, I’m so frustrated and upset!!!
So nervous!!

This sounds really gross but it WORKS!!! Get some plain yogurt at the grocery store and insert it into your vagina. If you have a plunger from the gel, use that to insert it. Just fill up the plunger, you can’t use to little or to much, and insert. The acidophilus from the yogurt will kill the yeast infection. It is the cheapest and BEST WAY to get rid of a yeast infection. Just insert it before bed. It will not hurt you, the coolness of the yogurt is comforting, and it really really works.
I always do that when I feel an infection coming on. It works wonders. REALLY — try it. My doc told me to do this years ago…….and I have been doing it ever since. It is the best!!
It also won’t hurt you to eat it as well. The more you can pump into your system, the more it will help you.
Good Luck…I hope you feel better soon. Best wishes for a healthy baby!
YES, MY SISTER WAS THIS PROBLEM WHEN SHE PREGNANT BUT SHE DRUNK LOTS OF WATER AND THIS INFECTION GONE AWAY.
I have been through all the embarrassment and frustration of bacterial vaginosis (vaginitis) you described. It’s not only uncomfortable, but it seemed to me that many of the treatments aggravated the situation even more than helped it. I had my worst bouts with vaginitis and yeast infections not during a pregnancy, but was still worried about all the side effects of everything prescribed. And it probably makes you worry about whether or not your natural defenses have been compromised when you need to be your healthiest, not to mention concerns about perinatal infections (among other things) that could result from not treating the vaginosis.
I came across an article that might be beneficial to you. It is by a registered nurse that had similar problems during pregnancy. You can find it at http://tinyurl.com/yhgpska
