I tryed the peroxide. It worked!!!

I highly reccomend the vinegar bath. First off, always go to your doctor. Never assume you can treat all on your own, because you may do more harm than good. However, my personal gynecologist is in high demand, so it took me a while to get an appointment. In the meantime, I took a hot bath with apple cider vinegar when the itch was intense, and it soothed (not cured) enough to be bearable until my doctor could take a look. Plus, especially if you use raw, organic apple cider vinegar (with mother probiotics), that vinegar soak will have plenty of other health benefits too.

Hi, get your hands on a 2nd prescription for flagyl and make your boyfriend take it. It worked for me after 2 years of battling this misery. They just keep giving it back to you otherwise.

i tried all of the home remedies that i found online - apple cider vinegar douche, coconut oil, tea tree oil, food grade peroxide, alkaline water etc. these all help "take the edge off" b/c they are trying to get the vaginal pH levels back on track and kill off the bacteria. however, they did not solve the problem for me... in some instances, they minimized them for a short time or didnt work at all. what DID work was one of those old fashioned hot water bottle douches. i used a little epsom salt + mustard seed powder. the mustard seed powder is very effective for restoring pH levels so it makes the vaginal canal "unfit" for the bacteria to thrive. (i discovered this solution by accident b/c i use epsom salt and mustard seed in hot bath soaks to aid in muscle detoxification. i think the epsom salt helped wash off / slough away bacteria and clean out the lining, while the mustard seed powder eradicated the bacteria / infection. so far it is the only thing that has worked without turning to Rx meds. NOTE: i found that i have only contracted BV when i slept with a partner (not using protection) and he was a carrier.

i want to try and understand what i possibly have, i dont have any discharge or itchiness but i do have a strong odor that will begin to smell strong at the end of the day. haven't had sex because i am embarrassed by the smell. i will try some of these remedies but am afraid to make things worse. somebody help!

I am SUPER prone to BV...have been since my early 20s. I get it at least twice a year, sometimes even more. I'm married and don't have to worry about STD transfer but my husband and I don't use protection. This can also be a problem for woman who are prone to it. The continuous unprotected sex I believe plays a factor in the imbalance. I have yet to try any of these remedies but I am definitely going to try. I've never been able to use tampons but I want to try the peroxide remedy first because I always have it on hand. I wish there was a way you could really know exactly what causes it. That would make my life so much easier. I've even stopped wearing panties to make sure I get enough air flow at all times. This is by far an uncomfortable thing to have.

Boric Acid Suppository Expensive if you get it prescribed and from the pharmacy bc it's a compound; but I believe you can make it yourself buy it OTC & put it into empty capsules

I have had BV for over two year, honestly, it is the worst thing. I tried both the home remedy and vaginal medication...neither worked. I was so frustrated. I came across the herbal medicine fuyan pill in a medical journal review. I have done this for almost three months and I'm discharge and smell free! It also balances out my ph, thanks go I'm able to find relief and I'd also recommend not suing any scented feminine soap for the vagina. Good luck ladies! I truly feel your pain.

I have been having a yellow/whitish discharge with a bad smell for a few months now.... sort of heavy. heavy enough to wear panty liners and a lot of perfume.. 19 yrs old. my boyfriend and i do have unprotected sex. i can't go to the doctor because i can't afford it... could this be bv? i'm very worried...

Just a fyi ladies Especially Mary...if you have a health department in your area you should be able to see a Dr free of charge!
