I have BV...It pretty depressing...I took the antibiotics my GYNO gave me but it came back as soona s antibiotics ran out... I cant have sex anymore because it simply hurts SO much. It even hurts inserting and removing my tampons to the point where i want to cry. My GYNO along with alot of other suffering women's GYNO's literally dont know wha to do with women with reoccuring BV...
I heard of the method that has worked for SO many women who are so happy and relieved...But isnt medically ever mentioned....
You buy UNSWEETENED natural PLAIN yogurt and you buy PROBIOTIC capsuls and mix the powder inside the capsuls with the yogurt and insert it inside your vagina, also taking 2-3 capsuls oraly a day...i heard its messy but highly reccomended
If youv heard of this yogurt method (has it worked for you?) or heard anything else that works out PLEASE HELP ME :(!!! i am so tired of this :(

hey, I'm a nurse and tell women to do the natural yoghurt thing all the time. maybe you need a combo or oral and vag meds.
you also need to look at your hygiene, it is really infectious. Maybe you are re-infecting yourself. Be very conscientious re hand washing, linen changing wearing cotton undies etc. may also help to find a gentle soap or use bi-carb soda instead of soap in your pelvic region.

Hi
Sorry you have through all this sweetie, you only sound young!
OK firstly I can't reply to your email, mine doesnt always work (i'm in IQ). You can add me to your messenger and send me IM'S that I can pick up and reply to at a later date. This seems to be the easiest way for me.
You other questions- this will pass, it isn't a life sentence but a pretty transient symptomatic infection. Bear in mind if you haven't received the proper treatment (eg antibiotics and in some cases repeats) it can progress into more serious infection such as PID.
THE YOGHURT IN ONLY A BAND AID SOLUTION, you need a DR consult so make sure you aren't trying to treat this yourself.
It's hard to say if you will get it again. Most women who end up with it tend to get it again at some stage. It isn't the end of the world. Get in and treat it early and you will be ok.
Each episode should clear up.
Please don't think I was making any remarks on your personal hygiene, I wasn't. It's jsut that a lot of people don't know to change their linen (including towels and sheets) frequently when they are suffering with this.
OK well good luck with everything, and IM me if you need anymore help!!

I'm a Medical Secretary who has also had a lot of experience with Bacterial Vaginosis. Yogurt is very good for treating yeast infections but I've never heard of it being used for bacterial vagnosis. That's interesting.
I would recommend getting in touch with your primary care physician though to see about talking to an immunologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders of the immune system) or an Infectious Disease specialist (doctors that work to find out what kind of medical problems can go on to cause infections to continue on a regular basis) to see if they can help you figure out what is going on and if an autoimmune disorder could be playing in to this.

My mother uses this method all the time and it really works for her. Try it and if it doesnt work then maybe you need another dose of anti-biotics or something.
I hope this helps :)
