ok HI!!
First post. Chronic BV for 1.5yrs. Tried it all. Affecting my sexual confidence

I had a really alkaline vagina and my boyfriend said it burned his . And then the smell started and we all about what happens next - visit to drs, etc., depressed, crying my eyes out. reading forums like this. etc...

So I thouhgt...alkaline vagina means not enough healthy bacteria making lactic acid. Equals alkaline environment and hostile takeover of BV bacteria.
So I did hydrogen peroxide douche but then it always came back .
So I want to have more lactobacilli in my vagina to make the lactic acid.

So what does lactobacilli live on? Lactose and other sugars.

I went to like 5 health food shops trying to buy lactose(milk sugar) but even tho it seems to be in everything - it's really hard to buy. So i got some powdered whey (which is 75% lactose) and I made a thick solution with water and put it in a syringe (5mls or less of whey solution in a 10ml syringe)(without needle ok) and put it up before bed and went to sleep so it had a chance to work.
I've done this on nights i am not sleeping with my boyfriend - because you do end up with a milky vagina - kinda sweet smelling, like milk. but not like fish.

And I have not got BV since. And my vag is not so dry - my vag began to get dry when it turned alkaline, so dry and i swear i thought i was having early menopause which was also distressing/depressing, or that I had lost my mojo for my boyfriend. but it's better, moist in the right way now.

Anyway I wanted to share this with everybody. I am not saying it's a cure or will work for everyone but it's cheap to try and it has changed my vag ph. from base to acid. yay.

I don't know how this might be if someone is lactose intolerant but it's a different orifice, it's not like eating it. maybe if you are lactose intolerant, talk to your doctor first and see what she/he has to say. (and if it works for you, tell them, tell everyone. )

I would like to get some pure lactose and try it with that, and work out what dose works best but i'm not scientific.this works for me, if anyone has any comments or more info i would love to know, and if it works for anyone else.

You know I hate BV it totally ruined my sex life. Nobody apart from people on forums know what it's like. I have never posted before and also i feel silly recommending people put lactose or whey up their vaginas but i wanted to share and also i think it's not dangerous to try. We have to stick together. I feel that my hope was not lost, because i knew i wasn't alone. Spread the word.

thank you everyone and also Ginger Ark. You rock.
