ok so everytime my boyfriend and i have sex without a condom even for a minute i end up with symptoms of bv. i know i should see a doctor but cant at the moment so im trying to figure out other cures. in the past, ive used monistat and it gets rid of the symptoms. can you use monistat too much or is all it doing is just taking away symptoms?? what are some other natural treatments?

Everytime i go to the the doctor they give me the same medication but it dosesnt seem to work cause i still have the same symptoms the first couple of times it did work but now it doesnt what can i do?

A month ago i had yeast infection, and then got my period and it seemed that it went away. i had intercourse with my bf, but it hurt really bad so we stopped. I thought that it was probably the yeast infection so i took monistat 7. Then we tried it again after i had finished with the treatment and it still hurt. I don’t itch anymore, and the only symptoms i have is painful intercourse and really watery discharge. what is this????

i’m pretty sure i have bacterial vaginitis… but i lost my health insurance and i can’t afford to go to the doctor. and all i’ve found on this is prescription meds…. is there anything else that could help?

I have terrible bacterial vaginosis symptoms and and antibiotics just don’t work for me. I’m tired of useless creams and ointments, can anyone recommend something that works?

At first, I was diagnosed and treated for a yeast infection. It cleared up but came back in a couple of months. Then, bacterial vaginosis, also treated and cleared up. A month ago, symptoms started again, and I was diagnosed and treated for BV – but the symptoms did not even lessen (I took Metronidazole orally). Now, I still have whatever it is, and it does not respond to Monistat either. What to do? Tested for STD’s, btw, all clean.

I have had a reoccurring BV infection for several months now. I’ve been to the doctor and nothing seems to cure it. It goes away with meds for about two days then comes right back. Is it possible that my boyfriend is reinfecting me?

Also, do you run a fever when you have a bacterial infection?

The symptoms seem the same.

Hi again,

My doctor gave me two medications as stated abovve–does anyone know which one is for bacterial vaginosis and which one is for a yeast infection?

Also, my doctor said I had an enlarged uterous…with these symptoms…negative urine test for pg, but she is taking blood. does anyone know the cause of a large uterous?

Thanks!!

I was just diagnosed with a bacterial infection which i believe is called bacterial vaginosis. I’m using a vaginal cream right now that will heal the infection. My doctor said that my boyfriend could be carrying it and then give it right back to me when we have sex even though i’m healed of it. Are there any home remedies or something that he could try so this doesn’t happen. I’ve been dealing with this infection for over a year and i would hate to have to deal with it again. please help. thanks.

Doctors help and prescriptions are not helping I need another way! Please help me! Im sick of it!! Also is bacterial vaginosis an STD? I read a out it to understand more and it is said that it is not because of the fact some people can get it if they have not even have sex before I was just wondering. Please help me with alternatives.
Thanks

i have recently (for about a month) been experiencing strong, smelly vaginal discharge. it has a fishy odor and is usually white.
i researched and discovered that its most likely bacterial vaginitis.
however, i am NOT sexually active at all and never have been- i’m 15.
can you get bv any other way? im too embarrassed to go to a doctor (i would have to talk to my mother and my doctor is a family friend).how can i prevent it?

Has anyone used Augmentin to cure Bacterial Vaginosis? If so, is it an effective treatment? Anything else that helps?

I was diagnosed for BV and I went to the doctor, and they gave me a gel to cure it. It got rid of the bad odor BV gives to you but the thing is ever since I started using the gel i’ve been bleeding for the past week and a half. It’s been a lot like a period bleeding, and it has been VERY heavy. I have had no cramps whatsoever, and right now I am on birth control but i’m not even on my sugar pills yet! This hasn’t happened to me before with my pills, just ever since I began using the gel.

I was checking to see if bleeding was a side effect, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I would ask my doctor but unfortunately the office isn’t open right now. Has this happened to anyone else before? I just think it’s really weird, and the bleeding hasn’t gone away yet but it has gotten lighter. I just finished using the gel treatment. Is this something I should be very concerned about??

Ive been struggling with bacterial vaginosis for like a month now! I dont have any health insurance and yesterday I went to a free health clinic to see if I could get a prescription for metro gel! well after waiting for 2 hours the doctor came and saw me.. he asked me what the problem is I told him I believed I had BV and he prescribled me Metronindazole (without even checking me out)

Now Ive had BV before and I was told to either do a gel for 7 days or take a pill for 7 days.. The doctor told me to take the Metronidazole (500mg) ONCE..just ONE pill!

Well the prescription came with 4 and the one pill didnt do anything! so im going to take the rest (one every 12 hours)

If this doesnt work I cant go back to the clinic because each follow up visit is 100 bucks that I just dont have. Im hoping someone on here can give me some home remedies.. Ive heard of douching with hydrogen peroxide but I dont want to do that..but what about hydrogen peroxide in my bath water?? if so how much??

please help me!

How do you find out if you have it? What kind of testing is involved? Can you have it for along time and not really know it? Will it go away on its own, or do you need antibiotics?

My wife has recurrent BV and she uses MetroGel to treat the infection. The treatment doesn’t seem to work all that well since the BV seems to crop up somewhat rapidly afterwards. Can the infection be transmitted to the male? If I don’t use an anti-bacterial wipe immediately after sex my penis will have that "fishy" smell for a couple of days (I am circumcised). At times I can smell the distinctive odor on her breath before she gives me oral sex even though we hadn’t had any type of sex for over a week. She said that her doctor had recommended that I also should be treated with the MetroGel. I spoke with a representative from the MetroGel company who said I didn’t have to be treated and that the bacterial vaginitis could be masking an STD.

I’m really at a loss to understand what’s going on and my wife doesn’t want to discuss it.
Any suggestions?

I have bacterial vaginosis, what happens if I don’t take the Flagyl? Will it clear up on its own? the symptoms arent that bad just annoying. I know it sounds stupid but I wanted to drink this weekend and I know I’ll get sick if I drink on Flagyl. I just wondered if anyone had this experience.

I heard it keeps coming back.The Medication is almost done and My daughter is still having the same symptoms. What should I do, How do i prevent it from coming back and does anyone out there know anyway of making her feel better.

I’m trying not to rely on antibiotics as much as was wondering if any knew any home cures or homeopathic cures for vaginitis?

and that even with treatment it may not go away and the treatment may cause problems with the pregnancy, but un treated it could cause the same problems. i’m worried about this, i was actually told that i had it when i got looked at on december 26th but they are just now getting around to treating it, and they aren’t sure if it’s going to help. what are the risks of having it? and is there anything that i can do to prevent myself from going into pre term labor as they said happens most of the time? just need advice.
