Hey ladies, you should check out the Dr. Oz Show web-site, he did a program on BV recently it is available to watch. He recommended taking vitamin D3 among other things. I added it to my regimen and hoping that it helps! I don't get a lot of sun so I'm probably deficient.

Still hunting!

I am in the same boat!!

I got this problem Last feb 09 and ive had it everyday since (fishy smell)!!!
Its funny because never in my life have i had problems with my health until nov 08 when i was rushed into hospital and had to have my appendix removed ( i think there was more to my surgery than they are telling me as i had to stay in hospital an extra few days as didnt recover normally like everyone else). I see a regular thing in women saying they have had surgery and then are now stuck with this problem, but me too have put this forward to various doctors and there having none of it!

I dont understand where else i could have got this problem from, i wasnt having intercourse at ALL around the time this happened, so that rules that out.

I have had 4 doctors over the last year i have lost count how many times i have been back and forth too.

At one point they tryed to turn it into a mental health problemsaying i was going mad was thinking too deep about this problem HAHA they make you laugh, they dont have a clue.

i cant believe how oblivious doctors act to this problem!!

Anyways i knew i wasnt going insane because i would spend hours researching on the internet night after night and read forums of every other woman dealing with this problem, And knew i wasnt the only one coping with this.

Over the last year it has been a constant battle just to get the doctors and gyno to take me serious, They dont care aslong as they are getting paid.

I have tryed the majority of things-

Metrodonizole tablets and gel (more times than i can count)
Clindamycin cream
They even gave me IBS tablets lol
And acne tablets (anti bacterial)
Ive tryed Vitamins
Yogurts
Actimel daily
Achipilidus Tablets
Hydrogen peroxide douches Diluted/undiluted
Vinegar douches
Inserted and ate raw garlic
Inserted yougurt

And nothing works so far!!

Ive really had enough of this problem it has got me soo depressed havnt really left my flat for a year feels like ive been in prison for a year,
I just dont want to be around anyone not even my family.
No one really understands it fully unless you have the problem yourself!!

i am only 19 and feel it has ruined my life already ive missed a year that i cant get back.
My sex life has disappeared, I just dont feel fresh or sexy at the minute and just cant be bothered with men, For the simple fact im embarrassed and its not a thing you really want to explain.

this last year has been an emotional roller-coaster ive learned alot about my self, I have been soo low even to the point of suicidal thoughts,
I mean ive had some bad times in my life like when my dad died but this has topped everything off.

Im now at a point where im thinking i cant carry on like this i need to fight my corner and sort this out and nip it in the bud.

So im gonna try a few things you ladies have mentioned, Fingers crossed!
And am also gonna keep returning back to my docs and gyno and keep putting new information in front of there faces to show i aint giving up and i deserve a bit of time an effort and co operation into sorting this once and for all.

I am going to mention the Atopobium Vaginae i read this a few months ago too, and found it very interesting, I believe my bacteria is not normal bacteria but contaminated, Only if i could prove this!

I have already asked for a culture but they didnt have a clue at first until i explained, And even now they are messing me around where to go to get a swab taking, Hopefully when i get this done the results will make things more clearer i hope.

I would just like to thank all you ladies for taking the time to share you info, Has been really helpful, and if more of us get together and raise awareness on this maybe we will get somewhere.

Good luck if finding your own cure, I will be sure to write again when i find mine, I will keep you updated take care

alright ladies! I have been suffering for two years with this, happened after i got a IUD for birth control. Since then i have removed that, started and stopped taking the pill form and feel as if i must be losing my mind! I really am glad this forum exists or i might have felt so alone....Any how, I really think that this BV has something to do with our periods. I am usually fine before a period if i've cleared it up in the meantime. I have a four to five day period. So, on day for or five, when the it's just "pink" discharge not full blood i notice the odour...YUK!!!! grrrrrrr. This is every month. I have a understanding BF, but how much more can i expect him to take?? What is it about the act of having a period gives us all BV. I'm convinced it's our periods. I've done all the above. wiping, no sex, change soaps, rePhresh, cotton panties, Commando, and to no avail every month like clockwork.....BV! My bestfriend also suffers from this, i recommended the h202 douch to her, that worked but recently didnt work for her a second time. Hasnt worked for me either the last two times.

Her OBGYN said to take 2000 iu of vitamin D a day. My response to this is if vitamin D was the cure we'd all be cured!!!!! Grrrrrrrrr. However, i'll try just about everything i can get my hands on before i end up dumped and miserable. SO, today i bought the vitamin D, AND goldenseal, which i read about earlier this morning. I've read every post on this thread over the past few months and today i finally joined. I need someone to talk to about this that understands before i rip all of my hair out....lol ;o)

Now i will let you guys know if the Vitamin D really works. Also, i bought the Lavada vitamins and am almost done with the bottle. Has anyone else bought these??? I swear we all could have a multimillion dollar buiness with all the money we spend trying to cure ourselves!

One of the steps that you will have to take is to examine your diet. You will need to determine if there is anything that you are allergic to. Some foods can cause this problem so that is the importance of discovering any allergies. Other natural cures for Bacterial Vaginosis include natural, live yogurt used on the area that is affected.

Be careful what you eat and make sure you have a good diet as well as drinking plenty of water. Bacterial Vaginosis occurs when there is too much bad bacteria in the vagina and can be caused by many things. Sometimes a course of antibiotics will make the friendly bacteria be out grown by the bad bacteria.

The way of solving this is by replacing the good bacteria and making sure it out grows the bad bacteria. Anyone can have this problem although sexual intercourse can be one reason for it. It is always advisable that if a woman has this who is sexually active then her sexual partner should be treated for it too.

There are a lot of causes for this problem and it is not limited by one cause. Tight clothing that causes a lot of sweating in the vaginal area can also be the reason. Therefore wearing lose fitting clothing could be one way of tackling this problem.

Try to avoid antibiotics and only take them if you have to as they can lead to this condition. Avoid strong perfumes and douches in the vaginal area as this can cause the bad bacteria to grow. There are many holistic cures as well. Vinegar can be applied to the vagina or drunk by combining 2 ounces of apple vinegar with 6 ounces of water and taking 3 times a day. Another way of treating this is by using tea tree oil as a suppository. Tea tree must be diluted first before applying it to the vagina. The sooner you deal with this problem the easier it is to treat as there will be less bad bacteria present.

Dezerya18,
I tried just about everything also until I tried both vitamin D and the lavada vitamin. That was the only combination that worked to rid myself of BV. Thankfully, I found out about that combination in a different health forum, so I figured I would pass along the info.

I wish you the best.

If anyone knows of a cure- not a daily/ weekly regimen - please post it because I'm losing my mind.

Last time I was at the doc, she straight up told me "there is no cure". we can only manage it.

I am so so so sick of this! I haven't gone back to her in a while, the last time she just gave me metro gel to do 2/week for 3 months, which I am now at the end of and it is not working. not to mention the discharge that comes along with it.

vitamins don't seem to work, rePhresh pills don't seem to work. Does anyone have anything good about the rephresh gel? does it help at all?

I don't even need a cure at this point, I will gladly take something that I can just do to manage this dang thing. I am so sick of "experimenting" and worrying that all these experiments may just be making it even worse.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not at home now so can't look at the label, but my doc in Korea gave me this gel thing to douche with, and while it hasn't completely done away with my annoying discharge, it does seem to be helping significantly. I'll post back with the name as soon as I can.

I'm quite annoyed though, it seems that there are SO many products out there to choose from, never mind that most of them seem to not work.
