I am so happy I found this site. I've always been an advocate for natural remedies. I'd had this god-awful itch in the "nether region" for months. So bad that I was getting cracked and raw from scratching in my sleep! Plus, a weird smell that was not like a yeast infection smell. Best way to describe it was "old lady" coochie smell! I'm in the beginning part of menopause, which isn't making me happy anyway. So, thinking another upsetting downside to being over 50 when I feel 30 was really making me mad. So, I started searching and tripped over this site. I read almost all the posts and accepted that I had BV. That night, I did the H202 douche. I poured about 1 cup of the hydrogen peroxide in the bag and filled the rest with luke warm water and took care of that task. I have to say that the weird smell was immediately gone! There was no other weirdness to report about the douce, no foaming coochie or burning - nothing like that, just immediate smell gone. The next day I went to the health food store and bought live acidophilus and Folic Acid 800 mcg. I took 1 of each, twice that day for 2 days. The itch is gone, the smell is gone. I will continue to make the acidophilus and folic acid a part of my daily supplements, I am taking 1 of each with my morning smoothie. A note about yogurt....since the late 70's, I have used a yogurt douche a few times a year, for just a general healthy cleaning. My awesome Gyno actually told me it was a great idea! I had read about it in Cosmo and thought I'd ask him about it before trying it. Since I was always getting yeast infections and having to use those god awful suppositories, I asked him about it and he highly recommended I try it. Well, it works GREAT! Just mix plain yogurt (about 1/2 - 3/4 cup) with luke warm water. It will look like thin milk. Douche with it. You can do it more than once if you feel like it. It's so refreshing, knowing you won't have a smell if you get sweaty working in the yard, or a long day of shopping and walking while on a hot vacation, etc...you know that smell! However, this didn't fix the BV! The H202 douche, acidophilus and folic acid have fixed this. What a wonderful way to treat this nasty female problem! I hope my experience helps someone else.

ONE MORE THING.....I have some theories about why this happens or even comes back. First, it could be your "toys"! Latex or plastic may harbor some bacteria if not properly cleaned after use. Or even if cleaned thoroughly, maybe alot of use could be irrating and disrupting the natural PH of your insides. Second, it could be your partner! Maybe his fingers were not clean before putting them in or around you. Even their penis can carry nasty bacteria due to being sweaty or just not clean. Their tongue - well, god knows what kind of bad stuff is harboring in one's mouth. So, for those of you that are complaining about this coming back - take a look at your partner and/or your toys! We need to think about all the reasons this could have happened or why there are reoccurances. Just thought I'd share that thought. Anyone else?

HI! I'm not really sure how to use this site yet..but Im reply to a post insted of making my own, cause Im not sure how to make my own...anyway I have had this problem for years! Im 34years old..and on and off since I was like 16 I have had this problem. You take the antibiotis and it comes right back..it make you feel like something is wrong with you, cause this doesnt hapen to your girlfriends...they are just fine!

Any way I read ALL the posts and I did it and it worked...All I did the first night was empty a half a bottle of water and fill with peroxide..then rinse in the shower..I came out smelling like a new born baby! I then the next day got some plaine yogourt with active cultures and put it on me....not in me...also I didnt douche with the peroxide water mix...I just rinsed cause I was scared....Any way I did the yogourt for 3 days. Just once a day for about a half hour then washed off...and took the aciphilidos...or however it is spelled and the folic acid...and I am just fine 5 months from now....I even stopped taking the vitamins and Im still fine....everyonce and awhile like 1 time a month I have rinsed again with the peroxide solution just because but Im just fine....again....I had this problem for YEARS and this worked better that antibotics.....so go earth clinic!

I have that horrible itch as well. Going to try the hydrogen solution, was wondering... Did you just rub the yogurt around and wear a pad or what? I need help... Quickly! In a new marriage & haven't had sex in a month and a half because of all this! Thanks!

What I have found worked for me is doing the H2O2 douche first. Then air dry. I then take mix plain yogurt with cultures that have acidophilus and probiotics. I use a medicine dropper to insert it. I then soak a tampon in the yogurt or any left over mix and insert it. I leave it in all night if I can or when ever I wake up. I do the yogurt tampon mix for 3 days. This will get rid of it. However, after having intercourse you need to do the mix again. Especially, if it seems to come back after having sex. This will keep you from getting it back. I hope this helps someone. I know, it's been an ongoing battle for me.

Is your partner getting treated as well? He could be passing it back to you.
