So I came across this site regarding home remedies for BV. And I bought Acidophilus (10 mg-100million active lactobacillus acidophilus) and folic acid (400 mcg). The first day I took 1 folic acid in the morning and at night. I also took 1 acidophilius in the morning and at night..and it didn't work. The next morning is was still there..so I thought maybe I should increase my dose? So I started taking 2 of each morning, afternoon, and at night..and i even inserted a capsule of acidophillus..and now the discharge is worse than before. It's still the white discharge and the odor is still there. Nothing seems to be helping..How long does it take for this work? Some girls have said overnight?? Am I taking the wrong dose?PLEASE HELP ME..I'm tired of going to the doctors and paying for meds and insurance when I'm gonna have it all over again..Someone..help me..Replied By Ki Ki (Atl, Ga) on 04/29/2009
My gyno said that if your sexual partner is uncircumcised, have him clean his penis always before you have sex.Replied By Froggy (Pueblo, Colorado) on 09/14/2009
The best and quickest cure I have found for BV is the douche of 1:1 hydrogen peroxide and distilled water...works instantly for the smell and lessens if not stops the discharge. Continue taking the folic acid (I do 400 mcg twice daily and the acidophilus too).
