Thread: chronic bacterial vaginosis

I am curious of a couple of things. The silver I am assuming is a pill form and must be over the counter like vitamin? Also, I dont ever know I have this until I am starting to have intercourse and bingo here is the odor. Once in a while if I have a lot of female discharge I might catch it but rare. It is mostly noticed during intercourse so this is most embarrassing. I am 43 had a hysterectomy and going thru early menopause. my doctor says it PH imbalance but I just treated this with oral flagyl june 1 and now have it again.... Im so frustrated. I just want to be able to have a normal sex life and be confident that it wont be there next time.
Help......

The next morning- still normal. 2 days later - still normal.

I got the idea from a friend.
I am still taking the silver every other day... and I am sooooooooooo happy.

I also hear that some women are allergic to sperm- it throws off PH balence.

I am a 26 year old virgin so luckly I dont have that problem.... but maybe not for long if this BV stay away.

The sure is Flagyl. I had a hysterectomy done in Jan '05 and ever since I constantly get BV. My problem started becoming repetetive when I was diagnosed with diabetes in Oct '05...With those 2 together, believe me I really hate being a girl right now!!! when I started noticing the pattern, my Dr. gave me the Flagyl, and since then I always wear loose fitting clothes, cotton undies and when I'm home I make sure to let everything breathe....To this day I still get constant yeast infections, but that's mostly because of my surgical menopause...hope this helps..

Does anyone know of a good Herbal formula for BV? . I have had this problem for as long as i can remember, and I have tried EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! i am soooo lost....also,should i mix the H.Peroxide.. with water before using it ?Thanks

i have all the same symptoms ...except a fishy odor, is this chronic BV or perhaps something else? my doc says its allergic vaginitis...but i follow all the rules. i had my vaginal PH tested last week and it was at 5.0, seeing my doc again this week for more tests. i've been living with this reocurring nightmare for close to a year now, and its really affecting my sex life and making me depressed. my doc has now recommend i start inserting boric acid capsules, which worries me since i haven't really found anything about this treatment online. has anyone heard of this treatment?

ok, a pharmacists has recommened I use a treatment called Gynoflor. These seems to restore the PH in the vagina to help cure and keep away reocurring infections.

Here's a link i recommend reading:

CAT.INIST


I will keep you all posted. wish me luck!

Boric acid is a safe way to bring your ph back down to around 4. There are very little if any side effects from using.

I hope you all get this soon. I switch between yeast and BV. My nurse practictioner said to try "RepHresh" after my periods and after sex. Well I did that and not even two weeks later, I have BV again. SO, when I was reading the box, it says that you can use this stuff every 3 days. I am going to do that. Wednesday, I have an appointment to get more meds for this BV **** and a pap-smear, so Wednesday night, I will start my RepHresh every 3 days. Try that and see if it works.

I have had this problem for sooo long now! I used metragel which would work for a while, then a few days after I would complete the course of it, it would come right back! Finally, my doctor precribed the clindamycin cream which I was to use for 10 days per month for 6 months - and NOW the bv is right back in like 5 days! I am wondering if anyone out there has found any other way to deal with this - I wanted to try betadine vaginal cream which used to be available but is no longer available. Any suggestions will be very appreciated. I am sooo tired of dealing with this for so long.
