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.

First day of my last menstrual period was May 11th.. Its been 3 weeks since I had intercourse and I am now pregnant.. I went to the emergency room last night because I was having abdominal pain, and while I sneezed, stretched or made strength I will have sharp stabbing pain on my pelvis.. I have just finished a 7 day treatment for a Bacterial Vaginosis and yesterday I was diagnosed with a UTI, I just started treating it.. I had an ultrasound to rule out the idea of an ectopic pregnancy.. Doctors said everything looked normal but I dont think the fetus was found.. My Hcg is 26,914.. I think that’s too high considering that my only sexual encounter was just 3 weeks ago..

Is it safe to take the meds??
Will they cause any harm to my fetus??
Is my hcg normal??
Is the abdominal and pelvic pain normal?? My Dr said it may be due to gas.. To take tums.. Is this true??

I would appreciate any answer.. Thank You

I went to my obgyn for my annual exam and also for infertility, and my pap showed I have bacterial vaginosis. What exactly is it, and is it serious? He did prescribe antibiotics, I was just curious how common this is and what the cause is, and if there are ways to prevent it from returning. Thanks ladies.

I had a miscarriage at 21 weeks. I started bleeding at about 12 weeks and the doctor said I had bacterial vaginosis. I was put on an antibiotic that made me very sick so was only on it for 3 days. The doctor said that should have gotten rid of the infection but never checked. I continued bleeding for the rest of the pregnancy and they could not find a cause for the bleeding.

Gave birth 4 weeks ago now I have odor and itchy burning. I started culturelle a week ago now the past 3 days I’ve had symptoms of BV.
I know it’s not a yeast infection, I’ve had both yeast and bacterial infections and this is definitely BV.

i had it once and went to the doctor to get it sorted and just wanted to know. obviously, the doctors are the most effective and fastest so if ever it happens again im there.lol. just curious.

I read it can have no symptoms..and my nurse practioner told me she did not check because there were no visual signs. Is this normal they don’t test for this automatically since it can cause infertility?

I’m alittle over 15 weeks pregnant and I have had BV (bacterial Vaginosis) a couple times during this pregnancy…I’m scared I had it for awhile before I was pregnant and didn’t know. Right now I am on flagyle for it and I’m pretty sure it’s gone…I take it twice a day for 7 days I’ll be done with it on Thursday. Anyways, I read alot of stuff saying Bacterial Vaginosis causes premature labor, and treating isn’t proven if it has an effect in stoping the premature labor…Well I was wondering for all you ladies who have Had this while pregnant, how are your babys? How was your pregnancy?

I’m going for my second pap smear (last one I had was in 2007). What exactly are they checking for and if I think I have bacterial vaginosis do I say something or will the doctor be able to see that while I’m have the exam?

Thanks.
I’m thinking I have it because I had it before and didn’t know. I thought it was an STD for sure (despite all the protected sex I’d been having), but it wasn’t. It was BV.

I haven’t been around anyone sick and I felt fine yesterday. Today, I’m sick as a dog and ended up in the ER. I’ve been diagnosed with a sever bacterial infection which has infantrated my sinuses, both ears, throat, larynx, and lungs. I’m also being treated for a urinary tract infection due to acute side pains. How long is the incubation period? I went to bed symptom free and woke up miserable at 4 AM. How is this spread? Is it from another person or environmental? I would have asked my doctor all this, but the laryngitus has K.O. my ability to speak without pain.

Is the body capable of fighting against these infections even without taking in treatment?

I have bacterial vaginosis. ( I read up on the symptoms on the internet, and am positive I have it, plus I am also pregnant – and I’ve read that it happens a lot during pregnancy. ) Is there any kind of medications I can just buy in a store without having a prescription? I don’t have money or health insurance to go to a doctor and have something diagnosed that I already know I have. Please let me know.

Can I give it to my boyfriend and does he have to get treated. I’m currently taking my treatment.

I might have bacterial vaginosis, i’m waiting for the results of the test. I’m 3 months pregnant and I know it can’t be good for the baby. My partner will have to be treated as well, but he will have to go to the doctor, and it’s not always an easy task ( especially for something like this) to get him to go. I’m wondering if anyone has ever had BV and their doctor wrote a prescription for their partner as well?

I was told that a Bacterial Vaginosis infection was caused by not having enough "Good" Bacteria to help fight off the "Bad" Bacteria, thus allowing infection to occur. My question is: I heard that eating the yogurt ACTIVIA, helped to regulate the bacteria? Is this true? All the commericials ever say is that it helpes regulate digestion, but makes no mention about any bacteria. Can you answer is ACTIVIA is good for regulating Good bacteria?

I’VE TAKEN MY MEDS FOR BACTERIA VAGINOSIS BUT I HAVE SEX WITH THAT SAME GUY.CAN HE PASS IT BACK TO ME OR OTHER PARTNERS IF HE NEVER TOOK THE MEDS.

I have bacterial vaginosis can i have sex.

I just finished the 5-day treatment…when will the discharge go away? I want to have sex!!! lol
