its like a miracle for me to have stumbled upon this site, i'v had BV for about 3yrs now and i must confess that its the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me knowing that i have a smelly vagina. my fiance has been of very great help consulting doctors on my behalf since i feel too ashamed explaining such trauma to a doctor. a lot of anti-biotics have been prescribed,including insertion tabets and creams but just as we start celebrating that its over,the smell comes back again in full force and this time double the previous.We've not been able to find acidophilus in pharmacies since last night when i first came accross this site, but i tried washing with 3% h202 last night. i get really skeptical about inserting my hands into the vagina while washing but of recent its the only way i can remove the accumulated discharge, plus i douched with summer eve vineger and water 3 days back but it seems to have worsened the whole situation, cant wait to find this acidophilus , it may be the miracle God has sent my way cos i have fasted and prayed for this ailment to stop tormenting my life.Thank you all for your feed backs in this site, at least i have hope once again.Another thing is when i start taking it, is it going to be a life time medication or for just a specific number of days? cos i honestly do no like taking drugs for long especially when they taste like flagyl.

Lorraine from Dublin has the exact formula except I used Stonyfield Farm plain yogurt and inserted it with an extra plunger from a monistat box. It was hard to get the yogurt in the tube but I did it twice a day along with the other stuff Lorraine said and after a week it is gone!Replied By Bv - Victim (Framingham , Boston ) on 10/02/2010
Hello! If your on this sight I know that you are suffering from the horrid BV. It can happy to anyone blue, green, purple, big, little, young, old. It doesn't have to w/ sex hints why some have had before even being sexually active however, I do believe sex can play a part. I am sooooo upset that my doctors continue to load me with antibiotics. Unreal. I have been reading this for a few days and wasn't going to reply but God has brought me here and I figured will bring someone else that we can help. I tried acidophilus and flinstone vitamins (which contain 400mg of folic acid and also other essential vitams we need) and it worked in a few hours. Multivitams (even w/out the acidophilus worked but the multivatims gave me horrible stomach pains so I switched to flintones which are just as effective) but with joining acidophilus it couldnt harm just help. Please try this if you are in doubt. I have suffered for YEARRRRRSSSSSS. I've had it so much that sex was more like a chore. You can smell yourself and you are just so uncomfortable down there. Please try this. I am not a doctor and all ppl are different, so remember there may be a few extra steps one has to take to find what works right for the body. Of course check with your doctor but many will just put u on antibiotics, vitamins and natural products are safe (i feel) as long as you do not over do it so be safe. I prefer not to douche because its not that great for it washes away the good bacteria which as well as bad which is why we're in this mess to begin with. But people all have different ways to go about doing this! So many woman go through this yet so many woman do not. For those who do not, its tough to explain your situation because you will automatically seem 'dirty' to someone unless its someone who really knows and trusts you. It's ashame that we have to go through this but hey, look this sight is a blessing and now we can all start smelling as clean as we really are. Here, here to a new, fresh life! God bless!!!
