Thread: chronic bacterial vaginosis

I saw a few women on here mention that their BV started right after surgery that they had. Oddly enough, the first time I had BV was 3-4 days after my tummy tuck surgery. Ever since then, I get BV about once every 3-4 months like clockwork. These DRs that say there is no correlation are just plain wrong. I don't need a study to prove what I am reading here on this forum. I'd love to know what happened in the surgery that caused BV to begin. Any ideas?

well i jus ordered the sweet whey powder product it arrived and last night was my first time trying the product i made it into a ball like detectivesarah suggested and i stuck it up there and went to bed woke up and it seems as if the ball had dissolved because just ran down into my cotton panties when i stood up, when i wiped down there this morning i didn't use any soap or any washing checmical. no i'm at work (i wore cotton panties) i just checked a few minutes ago and my panties are soaked it seems as if it's still draining out from last night i can't really tell the bv discharge scent is there however the discharge it self is just a liquid a bit yellowish substance. hopefully it's just draining. i can't really tell at this point if the whey powder is actually helping but i'll keep you guys updated. i really want this to go away, it's ruining my life!

Hi ladies,

OK, so far it seems I have had success with the Candaclear! I suggest those of you who haven't tried it yet should get some. You may want to douche or rinse out first with the hydrogen peroxide to get rid of excess bacteria and then use the Candaclear which at the same time kills bad bacteria/replenishes good. I am still taking a multivitamin with folic/b vits./extra vit. d and also taking the acidophilus capsules. I am aware of how much sugar I am eating but by no means avoiding it all together.

Have had sex but had him pull out so as not to disrupt the ph just yet.

oh my goodness the whey powder worked great! for the first time my v-jay jay was actually normal. me and my boyfriend had sex yesterday and i felt soo confident, i would suggest you all try it i think i ordered mines from Bernard Jenson Sweet Whey Powder.

O.K. I have an odor, with ocassional burning with urination, and a slimy discharge (sorry, gross). I went to the gyn in Nov and she done a wet mount. Said she saw a few clue cells and gave me flagyl. I took it and some of the symptoms seemed not so bad, but never completely went away. I took a second dose of flagyl. Now here I am and I still have odor, occasioanl burning, and a discharge that seems to come and go. Has anyone ever experienced BV that doesn't seem to go away even after treatment, and what do I do about it? Could it be something else?

Yes, that would be the "chronic" version of BV...what all of us unfortunate women are dealing with on this board.

If your doc actually diagnosed you with BV, and your symptoms never went away, and are still the same as they've been at the start, then it's probably a case of chronic BV. If your symptoms have changed, though, or if they went away and came back, you might want to see your doctor again just to be sure.

i bought Candaclear, its the good bacteria, i got it from the USA and it cost a lot to send it to Europe but if you are out of the USA you can google it, there was some on ebay even.
the 1/6 was not clear sorry, i meant 1/6th of a glass, it does not have to be that exactly just half water half hydrogen solution, i use 2 or 3 sqirts from a medium seringe then squirt in some bottled water (not tap water as it has chemicals in it)
then once you have done that, dry off (i do it in the shower) then push up one of the candaclear tabs. I don't know how it will be in the long run yet but so far so good, don't smell bad or feel yuky
good luck let me know what happens. i got this info from bvcures.com, they charged me 40dollars which is a lot considering its a woman like us who found out some stuff and wants to make each person pay that much, its just a pdf, i put some of the info on here already, would like to share the whole pdf but don't know how to make it accessable, can email it i suppose?

I've been meaning to read this thread and update for a while. I've stopped using the Balanc Activ for now, as I've started to find I react to it (I didn't before - very odd), and have gone back to the RePHresh.
