I would first like to thank all the ladies on this thread for contributing their advice on attaining a cure for BV. My daughter had recently started a regime of birth control about 1 year ago (the shot) however she started to experience heavy bleeding. She was then given a different type of shot (to counteract the bleeding) and eventually stopped bleeding. Then about 2weeks after the new shot she started to get a putrid odor from inside and a discharge on her underwear. The odor was a "fish" like smell and the discharge color looked like a light brown discharge. This was such a horrible experience for her because my daughter has always practiced good hygiene and never had any type of odor issue in her life ever. Their was no change in her diet or anything out of the ordinary that occurred in her life beside receiving the new birth control shot. In an attempt to solve this issue I decided to do a Google search and came across this site. After reading ALL of the post I felt empowered to attack this issue with home remedies in hand.
I went to the local whole foods store purchased:
1. Reuteri/Primadophilus by Nature's Way- Multi strain 5billion CFU (stored in refrigerator section/ask attendant)
2. Kefir Yogurt
Then went to CVS local pharmacy and purchased:
1. 1 Box of Disposable MEDICATED DUCHE
2. 1 bottle of Folic Acid
3. 1 box of BV treatment - this cost around $30. 00 it contains 6inserts and 6 disposable applicators. (In the feminine care aisle)
Regime:
Day one-
1)2pills (reuteri) taken with the kefir yogurt.
2) Douche with medicated douche
3) Apply first BV insert into vagina
4) Take 1 Folic acid pill and drink lots of water and cranberry juice.
Day two - six
Same regime as above EXCLUDING Douche
Day six and onwards
Same regime as above EXCLUDING BV inserts (the BV insert treatment contains only 6 dosages)
I was so happy when my daughter called me with excitement in her voice and said that she was FREE!!!!! Meaning feeling released from the bondage of B.V. She urged me to come back to this site as soon as possible and Thank all of You lovely ladies that came together and shared your information. I told her I already did :-)
THIS STUFF WORKS FOR REAL!!! I wish you all great success in getting cured.
GOD BLESS

I used chewable acidophilus which seemed like it easily disolved when inserted vaginally (which I only did once anyway). I also used a peroxide and H2O douche (only the first day) and took folic acid as well as the acidophilus daily as directed. All symptoms are completely gone within the first two days. After researching on the internet, I think mine was caused by my IUD (Mirena) and a new monogomous partner after my divorce. I have had symptoms for a year and didn't know what it was. I had read on webMd.com that acidopholis had been used as home remedy for decades but that it was found in dairy and not naturally in the vagina so it wouldn't work. So I just want everyone to know that reads this that it does in fact work (at least it or the folic acid). No more putrid odor. I am so thankful!

Hi,
I hope this info helps the rest of you ladies because I am soooooo excited to finally receive some relief from this nightmare. I've suffered with BV for the past two years. Got prescriptions, creams, acidophilous pills, you name it. It would go away just to come back within a month or so... Got laid off so buying all of these products and even buying yogurt is pricey..... So I ordered some kefir grains from a wonderful lady and cultured them in milk overnight on my kitchen counter. So far I've drank kefir for only TWO days and the odor is nearly gone. I didn't measure any out, just poured in a glass in the morning and evening, the taste isn't the best.. Just like having plain yogurt. Order grains online.

I have been a chronic bv sufferer for about two years. Everytime I was antibiotics, I would feel like myself but as soon as my period returned so did the bv. It seems like every month for about two years I had bv. It almost ruined my relationship. I FINALLY decided to STOP listen to the doctor and I did extensive research online to come up with a home remedy that would work for me. I have been doing the hyroden peroxide/ water douche for about two weeks now. It works wonders!!!! I also soak a tampon with tea tree oil/ vitamin E everyday for a week and then once a week. I also take fem dophilius 2 in the morning and 2 at night. 1600 mg of folic acid, 2000 mg of vitamin C.
I would encourage anyone who is suffering to read and do extensive research. I am so thankful for final getting this problem under control. I am so grateful to all the ladies who shared their secret cure. Hopefully this helps!
