I have had BV off and on for the last year. I read a lot of blogs and most women claim odor or discharge being their irritant. I do not have odor, but I have terrible burning. I tried coconut oil and it worked for a day or two but now I have the burning back. Does anyone else experience the burning?

I'm dealing with BV for the first time. Coconut oil made things much worse for me. Just been reading that the vagina's pH must be slightly acidic to fight germs. To my horror, coconut oil is extremely alkaline. There must be warnings about this on Earth Clinic. Coconut oil can disrupt the vagina's protective acid pH.

Add Vitamin C (start with 2-5 g/day, up to 18g a day is fine - your tolerable level indication is lose stool) and L-Lysine. Cat's Claw is a natural antibiotic/antiviral. I'd not mess with intravaginal application of anything. In my home country they sell antibacterial vaginal suppositories-they're sterile. Also, intravaginal applications of seabuckthorn oil (medicinal quality, manufactured in a pharmaceutical facility) in a gynecologist' office using gynecological instruments (well at least they used to do that)- they would saturate a sterile gauze with the oil and apply on a cervix for 20 min. It was especially good for cervical neck erosions.
