BV BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS HELP

5 replies

kalsgirl237 · 13/02/2025 22:40

Hi guys so I think I have bv - the odour is insane. It smells fishy at times and sometimes it's just downright awful and I can smell myself through pants. I have been given metronidazole gel for it which I will start tonight for 5 days. Has anyone used anything to clear it compeltley? I h ave heard oil of oregano and black seed oil gets rid of it and daily probiotics.
Not sure how well probiotics work though I'm in the uk so can anyone suggest some that have worked and don't break the bank. I prefer herbal remedies but nothing seems to keep this nasty infection away!

Antibiotics from the doctor.

Stick to the metronidazole and if the infection is recurrent have a chat with your GP about an OBGYN referral for investigation as to why.

I had problems with it recurring, but boric acid got rid of it for me.

Do the metro gel, then buy them lactic acid inserts and put one in a week as maintenance. Also a good quality probiotic
