Nothing is helping get rid of bv

Posted By Frustrated (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) on 02/23/2015

Hello ladies. I have been browsing this site off and on for the past 6 months. I noticed the BV start around September of last year. It is now late February and I can't remember a time I had more than a few days symptom free. I went to the doctor and got all the antibiotics that Dr's typically give for these types of symptoms. When that didn't work I tried a lot of different remedies. I was already taking a lot of different vitamins (multi vitamin/mineral/phytonutrint, cal/mag/D, CoQ10, vitamin D3, vitamin C) . I added acidophilous, a natural B complex, and folic acid. I still take these in hopes that some day they'll make it better.

The very first treatment I tried outside supplements was the Vitamin C suppository. That one seemed to help the symptoms for up to two days at at time and has honestly been the only one to help at all.

I've tried soaking tampons in both ACV and the hydrogen peroxide. Neither of those did much good at all. They didn't make anything worse, but I didn't notice anything getting better either.

I am AGAINST douching! I work in an OB/GYN office and I know how much doctors do not condone doing this. However, out of frustration I tried that too. Same result. It came back in less than 24 hours.

I eat as much yogurt as I can. I maintain a healthy diet. I'm a healthy 120 lbs!

I am so sick of being self conscious. The odor is not what is bothering me. It's the running to the bathroom every half hour to "freshen up." It's so disgusting and so frustrating.

Any more ideas for me ladies? I don't want to be another 10 year statistic. :(

This site uses a tampon soaked in ( baking soda dissolved in water completely ) inserted for 10 minutes and then removed, 2-3 times a day for 2-3 days to alkaline pH to halt problem.

My guess: you could also repopulate good bacteria with unflavored kefir in the yogurt isle at the store, more effective than yogurt which has 7 probiotic enzymes, kefir has 50 probiotic enzymes

I read somewhere a long time back a woman made baking soda capsules to put in vagina for her prolapsed pelvic and she firmed up and got relief. BLESSINGS and Peace
