I found this forum after googling chronic BV and am so happy to find that I am not alone. I have talked to at least two friends of mine who admit they have this awful problem. Its so embarassing and hurtful to be at work and have an odor so awful that I can do nothing about. I will definitely try some of the things mentioned in this thread. I am going to try the peroxide wash tonight. Sadly I just filled an RX for Metrogel last Friday took it every night for 5 days and guess what? The odor came back yesterday which is less than a week later!!!!
I got my first diagnosis of BVN a few years ago and then when I was pregnant back in 2004 I had one every other month : ( It seems having sex with my husband was causing them but he and I arent together anymore and i'm still getting them.
Its very frustrating to have a physician continue to give you antibiotics and creams that don't work. I was sitting here at my desk thinking great I have to call my doc again for a refill and then I gogled BVN and this site came up. I'm happy to see that others have found things that helped them and hope some of these things will help me as well.
