Hello ladies! I just recently got bv and its my first encounter with it. I developed bv from birthcontrol pills. I began taking bc pills in June but my body wasnt reacting well to the pills. Once I stopped taking the pills I began to get symptoms of what I believed was a yeast infection. When the over the counter meds didnt work I went to my doctor and learned I had bv. He perscribed me flagyl but I wanted more options. So I came here. I tried folic acid, didnt work. I tried folic acid and probiotics, didnt work. So I tried peroxcide and omg its a lifesaver. Immediate relief of symptoms and the odor. I began the treatment yesterday morning. I stood dry all day and night. No white discharge and no odor. I repeated the treatment today and everything is still good. No symptoms. Im not going to douche for another four days or so to see if these are lasting results. give it a try its amazing how fast it relieves bv.Replied By Kim (San Francisco, Ca, Usa) on 09/04/2011
I'm going to try the peroxide douche remedy for 7 days for a current BV infection. I seem to get them a few days after intercourse. Does anyone have a suggestion as to upkeep with this remedy? In other words, once I get rid of this one (my doctor has ANOTHER metrogel prescription at $60 wating for me, but I'm tired of paying that kind of cash!! ) with the 7 day peroxide douche, how often and when - how soon after sex or once a month? Any ideas would be really helpful and thanks all for the great advice on here!!Replied By Tiffany (Columbia, South Carolina,america) on 11/12/2011
This remedy absolutely works! I was doing 2 tbsp for 7 days, but I couldnt do it on the 4th night. I had severe bv and it caused me painful sex. Ever since starting the whole peroxide thing, it absolutely does not hurt anymore. The only thing is that you should probably do it with the acidophillis or whatever it's called because you more than likely will incur a yeast infection.Replied By K (Texas) on 07/01/2014
Did you use tap water or distilled/filtered water?
Any water you intend to insert internally should be filtered/distilled. There have been some very nasty stories in the press regarding neti pot users having all kinds of infections from using tap water. If you do not have access to sterilized water, boil it and let it cool first. If you can get PAM just from swimming in infected water, imagine what might happen if you deliberately shot some up inside yourself. (Of course, PAM is unlikely in this case, but there are plenty of other nasty beasties living in the water supplies of the US that you wouldn't want living down under.)
