    I wouldn't recommend using undiluted vinegar, as it is strongly acidic, and I would therefore have thought it too strong for that delicate area! I'm not sure of the PH of the vagina, but I believe it is weakly acidic.

    I agree with anothersarah....undiluted vinegar could b 2 harsh. on the other note,

    2 me washing the area doesnt really do the job. i think diluting the vinegar and dousching with that helps a great deal. ive done it several times the vinegar breaks down the discharge as the liquid leaks out of u, the discharge should b cloudy. do it for a couple of nights before u go to bed and u will no longer smell the odor.

    Default Hey

    thanks for the reply, Yeah it does effect my whole life really bad, because i cant control it, i have got to the point i change alot of times a day i get 3 o showers a day, I dont like being around anyone no more, not many people understand, or want to no. the smell it noticeable most days, unless i can control it to a certain extent, but never fully goes away, I have tryed garlic inserted and out i used this for few weeks, it did help but never cleared away and the stench of garlic dosnt help in public either.
    Ive tryed douching with vinager numerous times, tee tree oil, everything i try has different effects helps a lil but then straight back it comes.
    i use pro-b tablets orally every day and work out, also have been inserting to vagania with natural yogurt it helps for so long then back again, it just dosnt go away, Its so discomforting and can be embarrassing, that its effect every part of my life, i cant go to work, im too self consious, and its just uncomfortable most of the day, No matter how much things i do to change the way i live nothing really helping. I feel like im constantly moist even no i air as much as possible, cant seem to win.
    And the gyno and docs dont have a clue, who do u turn too??
    Its an every day battle even just to go to the shops i hate going shopping wit this problem all i do every day is have hope and faith that this problem gets cured. I dont no if i can fight this problem much longer its changed me soo much already.

    Did your bv ever go away when you took metronidazole? It seemed to help me when I took it but it never seemed like it completely went away. I have been taking Fem-dophilus for eight months now and it seems to help better then anything, but it has not ever went completely away in the year and how ever long I have this awful thing. I have a prescription for oral clindamycin, but have not taken it yet.

    Alright so I've been googling home remedies for this kind of thing, and came up with three biggies:

    - plain yogurt
    - garlic clove
    - tea tree oil

    ... all three of which can be applied on the outer or inside part of the vagina. I didn't have yogurt or garlic lying around, but I did apply tea tree oil last night, and it seems to be helping to reduce the funny discharge.

    I'll continue with just the oil for another day or two, and then if things don't become drastically better, I'll use all three methods at once.

    Will keep you posted!
    I can't stop giggling to myself because I thought I was the only person who opted for the natural remedies. I have been suffering from BV for years and I have a little book on home remedies. I can't find any plain yogurt, I'm terrified by getting burned by the garlic and How do you apply the tea tree oil? I have found that soaking in a small tub of water, a cupful of chamomile tea and two drops of lavender is very helpful. And P.S. yes I would like a response to the question about the tea tree oil and the garlic if you don't mind. LOL Thanks a bunch and I hope this is an ongoing thread because I've thumbed through and see that a lot of women have this same problem. To some of the other ladies, don't let it ruin your life, I don't believe it to be harmful....just a pain in the bazooka!!!

    Default hey sweety79

    Hey No even with all the medication it has never gone away,just got bv one day last year out of the blue and had it ever since i wasnt even having sexual intercourse around the time, I honestly think its to do with my surgery!!
    i have yet another appointment at gyno even no its a waste of time they look at you as if your mad, Its Ridiculous.

    i am gonna get a culture done, dont no why tho because the medication dosnt work i no that already.

    Some times it think its got better than the next day its just back to normal, Its strange, i have completely changed my diet, all fruits, veg, fruit juices, eating yoghurt, exercise, everything and still not gone.

    Im now using yoghurt and bit of tea tree oil mixed in at night, its helped alot, but still not gone.
    And taking pro- biotic s daily too,
    Just keep praying :/

    Okay so I stopped the garlic thing because during my second day of using it, I started to smell hoooooorrible!! To the point where I had to tightly cross my legs whenever someone else was around!

    I'm a fan of the tea tree oil, though. It hasn't really... improved things too greatly... but it does make me smell nice, and clean, so that's a bonus.

    I'll try diluted vinegar tonight.

    Hi I have suffered with this problem since 1995... I am so sick and tired of Metrondizole.... Now I am on the Metrodizole Gel...... Recently the docs said that this time its not BV but I have white blood cells which means another type of infection... I have been tested to everything and the test were negative.. I am so frustrated.. I have tingling in me legs and knees.. I also have irritation around my anal area.... I hate my vagina..

    I have been suffering for a year and a bit now and has completly changed my life, im not the same person, i lost loads of confidence and dont want to be around anyone,I have tryed everything i can to try and cure this but with limited money i cant do much more.

    I am currently using acidphillious (pro biotics) and natural yourts I have managed to kind of control my bv to an extent but still trying to cure it, Even no my problem isnt as bad as it was its still there and its constantly on my mind and effects me everyday, How do u ignore something like this and carry on with day to day life??


    Can i just ask you ladies a question........
    Does this problem stop you living your life And seeing your friends because your to embarressed??

    What jobs do you all hold down with this problem??

    How do you cope??


    Because i need a job due to my personal situation but just cant pluck up the courage to go to work. How am i supposed to managed to keep my head up and pretend everything ok when its not and managed to hold a job down!!

    Bv seems to effect my whole life and caused so many problems from physical to mental, weigh gain to debts Loss of social life and much more,How much more do they expect us to take?

    I have got depression and anxiety since havin bv and am soo paranoid and self concious around people, i cant bring myself to hanging around anyone too long, I have never let anything get me down like this not even losing my father, What do i do??

    Im close to giving up, i could lose my flat because they want to stop my money because im not working, Im currently on ESA but they want me to fight at court to see if i should carry on working Its catch 22, CANT WIN!!

    Pls ladies any advice would be grateful its like a constant battle with Doctors/Gyno's/Goverment and anyone else that dosnt understand.

    I pray to God for a cure so i can get my life back!!
    I'm a Customer Service Rep & have frequently changed jobs & lost jobs due to absences because of BV. I have a close circle of friends that know of BV & some also suffer from it as well. We found this out after I shared my story, they had been too embarrassed to share with me as well.

    It does effect me but I've found that if I talk about it with a friend or my husband, I feel somewhat better.

    I hope that this helps.

    Wow!!! That's why I stayed away from the garlic. I was too afraid of what kind of smell it may cause. I tried to eat it raw and it burned my tongue so I thought it best to keep it away from my va j j. I read an article recently and this woman was advised to take 1200 mcg of folic acid ( iron pills ). Take three a day for five days. I'm trying this now especially due to the fact that bacteria will stem from a weak immune system and mine has always been weak and my iron has always been low. I'll post back to see what happens. I stay away from the douches myself because they have always caused a problem for me.
