I think I have a good idea of long term remedies. But I want the odor and discharge to clear up even quicker. I’m weary of an antibiotic, but I think I’m going to go ahead and try the antibiotic along with home remedies that will hopefully help restore any good bacteria that the medicine kills. I’ve been dealing with this for a month, seen my doctor twice, had to call them twice and I feel that my doctor is just dismissing me and not taking me serious enough. So I’m going to schedule an appointment with my OBGYN instead and take an antibiotic if that is what she recommends along with natural treatments. But in the meantime that neither of the offices have called me back, what can I do to get rid of the smell? It’s so embarrassing, I’ve never dealt with it this bad.

I went to the Dr. a few weeks ago and she told me I had bacterial vaginosis. She prescribed me metrogel and the symptoms went away. Now, I have similiar symptoms but the odor is not as strong. Is possible it came back as a mild case that does not need to be treated and could go away on its own? Or is the type of thing that I either have or I dont?

Here is my problem. I am a very active woman, work out constantly and have a wonderful home life with my family. My husband and I have noticed lately that I with all the symptoms present that I have bacterial vaginosis. I have a girlfriend who treated hers with medication and it just would not go away. She did get involved with a natural remedy that cleared her problem up in days. This was 6 months ago and she has since gone onto a sabattical and I have lost touch with her. I want to know if there is someone out there who has experienced this problem and knows of natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis that can clear up my problem. It has now become more of a problem in terms of confidence for me. Please help.

What are some good natural BV remedies? I don’t like using antibiotics as I feel it is very bad for your body since it kills good bacteria as well as bad.
I’m open to any forms of remedy, whether it be tea, depositories, douches, supplements, whatever it is I want to hear it
Thank you very much for your help

My sister’s boyfriend of five months has fingered her on many occasions and did not wash his hands before fingering. He has also given her oral sex a few times. He tried once to have intercourse, and there was some genital to genital contact, but no full penetration. For a few months she’s been complaining of vaginal itching, some redness, and discharge. She’s seen a physician who examined her vagina (no pap smear or pelvic exam, just observation). She gave her some suppositories for yeast infection. She didn’t like taking the suppositories, so stop taking them. Her boyfriend, by the way, have been tested for HIV, gonorrhea, and chlamydia and his tests came out as "non-reactive" and negative. I’ve been reading online about vaginitis and I urged her to go to the clinic since she was still having vaginal itchy. She just saw a nurse practitioner who looked at her vagina and said it looked like a yeast infection. My sister asked if it could possibly be BV but the nurse said BV has a fishy odor. So the nurse prescribed a pill to treat yeast infection. So she gave her another prescription for yeast infection.

Anyway, it is very unlikely that she has BV?
