I'm finshed day 4 of the tindamax and I am still having symptoms. I don't think the tindamax is going to work, of course, nothing does ...I ordered Ds Laboratories - Nirena Optimum Feminine Hygiene Cleanser today because it got good reviews on amazon. Has anyone heard of this or tried it before?

Help for BV

I began my struggle with BV about eight years ago. I can tell you I do not know why it continues to happen and I have tried everything. At this point I work to prevent it rather than cure it. My doc prescribes me the flagyl pills. I cut them in half and insert them. I do this at least twice a week. As long as I stay on schedule and don't forget, I do not get BV infections. If I lapse and don't treat myself or run out of meds, I develop BV. I hope this will be helpful. The last gyno I had was hesitant of my method and gave it to me anyway. I got this preventative idea from a gyno I had for three years who practiced for 25+ years and it works.

Wow...I have never heard of inserting Flagyl pills vaginally. And it works? How come you don't take them orally? I have taken the pills orally and they didn't work for me.

hi,
i too have had my share of BV infections and have researched the issue and asked my doctor numerous times... something i found out that helps (it does sound slightly odd), is if, right after your menstrual cycle is over, buy some natural yogurt and cover a tampon with it and use it. change it like you would a regular tampon for about 24 hours. yogurt is proven to balance the ph level in the body and it is something that keeps me from getting BV as frequent as i did.

I think I'm going to try the Femmesil (and report back, obviously. ) I lurch from BV to yeast infection and back again, so something that treats both and where I don't have to constantly work out which I'm dealing with today would be ideal for me.

Fem-D

Has anyone had any luck with taking Fem dophilus either orally or vaginally? I've been taking 2 at night for two weeks and just started inserting one vaginally at night. Yesterday I had a really good day, not much discharge and no odor and then today it's back!!

I'm sooooo frustrated!

I just got my Femmesil in the mail yesterday. I haven't tried it yet. I'm crossing my fingers. I'll report back too.

BV cures?



ive had bv for months now and i cant seem to get rid of it and yes in case you were going to say "go to the doctors!" i have multiple times the antibiodtics they gave me didn't work does anyone know anything that actually works ive tried apple cider vinegar baths and they haven't seemed to help i tried the yogurt thing and that also hasn't appeared to help nor has the attempted hydrogen porixcide douche but i didnt take folic acid or anything like that with it has anyone tried something that really worked?

[ErIya]

do you have a health food store in your neighborhood? see if they have a refrigerated section with vitamins and find a good probiotic. you can try inserting them and taking them orally. Rinsing with peroxide (please dont douche wont lower your pH well enough to be a treatment but it can kill bad bacteria before you try and absorb the good ones. Rephresh gave me temporary relief like for sex, but its not a cure. In addition to probiotics I take folic acid and cranberry pills as well as vitamin d and a multi. What are your symptoms? do they change with your menstrual cycle? what kind of antibiotics have you tried, have you taken tindamax?
I hope you find something that works, I remember how awful it is having to think about BV all day.
