I get frequent BV infections. I do not like prescription medications as i feel they merely treat the symptoms and don’t cure the problem. I’m curious to know if anyone has some alternative methods worth trying.

I began taking an acidophilus/probiotic supplement from Trader Joe’s and after a month or so developed a bacterial infection. I know that the supplement is good for fending off yeast infections but what is the supplements relation to bacterial infections? Could an overgrowth of good bacteria cause a bacterial infection?

I had Bacterial Vaginosis couple of months ago. I was given 14 Metrodizonale tablets and I admit I didn’t really follow the instructions that well, I did miss a couple of doses from time to time. But it did work and eventually cleared up. Two weeks ago I have noticed it has come back though the discharge is not heavy as before. Its just a little yellow with that same fishy smell. Is this normal? Im a virgin btw.

Do you know any good ones?
douching or RePhresh don’t help?
I had it three weeks ago, and the prescription medicine didn’t really help.

well I only asked the question because i read on another site that when you have an IUD you get bacterial vaginosis quite often

I have a never ending battle with BV, I try home remedies and eating alot of yogurt but nothing ever seems to help. I happened to have a leftover rx for Cephalexin and I was wondering if I could use it to save a trip to the doctor.

I’VE BEEN TO THE DOC TONS OF TIMES FOR IT JUST GO AWAY AND THEN COMES BACK

or do you need to go to your gp and get a prescription for antibiotics to get rid of bacterial vaginosis infection…?
Or anyone know anything that could help treat it, that I could buy from a pharmacy or supermarket or just easy places like that?

thanks

i just noticed after sex with my husband that there is a fishy smell it isnt real heavy and it usually subsides until we have sex again…im pregnant and recently had a pep smear and nuthing came back positive what could this be?
