Bacterial vaginosis...

[clarebear1]

Has anyone found a cure yet? 5 years later im still suffering :-(

My dd suffered from this along with UTIs and thrush from the ABs. She took a capsule of probiotics - the ones you keep in the fridge. Also I made up a mixture of olive oil with drops of tea tree, myrrh, bergamot, juniper, lavender and thyme. I used this religiously(she was little at the time bless her)twice a day to clean around her bits. Took while but eventually cleared it up. Soap was no good and I don't think you should use it anyway shoul you?

No ive been told not to use soap or perfumed stuff. So annoying, really knocking my confidence and sex life :-( Just want a cure....why me :-(

I used balance activ to treat BV when I had it. Bit messy first time i used it, but cleared it up.

I went into overdrive when I had recurrent BV. Several things that I did:

Went to sexual health clinic to get swabbed to ensure that it was only BV I was dealing with. Once it was established that the BV was the cause of my pelvic pain, I was given high dose antibiotics that I took for several weeks (think it's the same treatment that they use for gonnorhea).

Also, I ordered very high strength probiotics tablets online (acidophilus) and took around eight tablets daily as well as placing tablets in vagina too in order to try and rebalance it.

I used cider vinegar as a douche which also is supposed to help restore vaginal balance and added capfuls to bath too.

Touch wood it worked - really hope you can solve yours as I know how awful it is to have.

Balance activ is basically the gel doctor gives me.

On antibiotics atm for it which have now given me thrush ahhhhhhhh!!! Ive got acidophilus in the cupboard actually from health shop. U can put them inside u? what ones that you swallow?

Oooh dont fancy douching with vinegar....

Thanks
