I just got on here last night to see if there was anything I could do. I have for the past month had some itching problems "down there" and at first assumed it was a vaginal yeast infection. I took two packages of yeast infection over the counter remedies like the cream or the suppositories and it did absolutely nothing! I then looked online and found that many times yeast infections are diagnosed wrong and are usually bv. So, although I have not been diagnosed with it yet, I started taking vitamins (like I should have but never do) and the vitamins I should be taking have Folic Acid in them...I took it knowing I needed to go to the store the next day and just buy Folic Acid. I took the vitamin (which has I think 200 mg Folic Acid) just to see. I usually am awake all night long itching and last night I was itch free for most of the night. I am itching today, but I went and bought Folic Acid and I just took my first 400 mg pill. I plan on starting with taking 2 more today. I really hope this works to restore whatever is out of whack. My husband comes home from his 6 month deployment and I CANNOT have this problem. I really hope this works.

I've been taking folic acid for 2 days now, twice a day and it has started to make the odor go away. My discharge has already started to change. Ladies please please hang in there. This has showed great progress in such a short time. Give it a try. And its a cheap cure!!! I bought a bottle of the cvs brand Folic Acid 8oo MCG. It ran me about 5 dollars (for those in the U. S). And for all you young girls who are afraid to tell your parents I urge you to speak up because you shouldnt have to suffer in silience. This is nothing the be embarassed about, it happens to the most of us. Its best you take care of the problem and most importantly know exactly what problem you have.
