Bacterial Vaginosis questions?
This question is for women with chronic BV only.
Im going to give you a little background info first.
I am 24 and have been suffering from chronic Bacterial Vaginosis for 7 years. I have tried every prescription under the sun (metro-gel, clindess, Boric Acid, Flagyl, etc). All they seem to do is get rid of it till my monthly cycle comes then BAM, back to where I started. Also, with using the antibiotics I just end up replacing the BV with a yeast infection and then my monthly comes around and guess what?!?!? Yep, BV again! All my doctors can basically do is give me the antibiotics and wish me luck. I have stopped taking birth control pills (since that can cause infections) and have stopped smoking. I am at my wits end and I am just about to give up on finding something that works and just live with it. I’ll be honest, I get it anywhere from 8-13 times a year and I’m sick of throwing money down the drain.
What did you do to cure your chronic BV? Do you have any other recommendations? I have been doing research for years now and the only things I have not tried are the natural remedies. TIA

Like you, I suffer from chronic BV. Isn’t is annoying? Like you, I have seen too many doctors who have just prescribed me some pills and that was it. It’s such a burden on my sex life. One thing that does seem to help me is this –
Research "Sitz Baths". Many sites will tell you they are used to treat hemmorhoids and other things, but it works for BV, too. What you do is you fill up your bath tub with warm water just enough to cover your bottom and your vagina. (I would fill it up to my belly button) Pour about 1/2 cup of BAKING SODA (the powder, not liquid!) and just soak for about 30 min. What this does is changes the pH of your flora levels in your uterus. USE THE SITZ BATHS AS SOON AS YOU START EXPERIENCING SYMPTOMS OF BV!!! Continue to use this regimen until symptoms are gone.
Also – if you use tampons, change them OFTEN. At least every 2 hours. More often than what the box tells you!
Last but not least – head over to WalMart and pick up a box of those new Yeast Balance Acidophillis pearl vitamins. These pills are probiotics for your reproductive system. More info can be found here – http://www.enzymatictherapy.com/PearlsLife/Products/Womens-Health/04213-Pearls-YB.aspx
Hope this helps! I feel your pain, TRUST MEEEEEE!
