How do you get rid of Bacterial Vaginitis?

Hi,

I have taken oral antibiotics as well as vaginal suppositories and cannot shake the bacterial vaginosis. Does anyone know if it has anything to do with being with an uncircumcized partner?

thanks

You can use Boric Acid to treat BV. Sometimes when anti-biotics don't work, you may need to re-acidify your vagina. Vaginas are slightly (very slightly) acidic to begin with so your pH may be off, resulting in the BV coming back. I have linked below directions on finding and using boric acid to treat BV. It works on Yeast Infections too! Ask your doctor if your partner needs to be treated too. You may just be passing it back and forth.

How is bacterial vaginosis treated?

It can be treated in one of several ways. Your doctor may prescribe pills for you to take by mouth, or a cream or gel to put in your vagina. It's important to use your medicine exactly as your doctor tells you.

If your doctor prescribes metronidazole (brand name: Flagyl) or other medicines, don't drink any alcohol while taking the medicine or for 24 hours afterward. Combining alcohol with these medicines can cause nausea and vomiting. Even the small amount of alcohol in many cough syrups can cause nausea and vomiting if you're taking metronidazole. Also, be sure to tell your doctor about any other medicines you are currently taking.

Hun, go to your doctor. Something must be wrong if anitbiotics don't help.

I'm having the same problem, I've been to the doctor 3x and on 5 dif. meds. pills and creams. I have spent so much money and it wont go away. I don't think it has anything to do with your partner, because I'm having the same problem and I'm not having sex.

I go back to the doctor next week and maybe I'll get something that works. Hey email me and if the next med I try works I'll tell you what it is, also if you find something that works please email me.

Wishing you the best.

I had BV a couple of months ago. I took the oral med Metronidazole. And I also ate yogurt and took probiotics(good bacteria) found in vitamin sections of most stores. and mine cleared up in ten days. You can get it from stress and soaps, foods you eat, and I hate to say it but uncircumcized men can carry more bacteria, because its a little harder to get themselves clean. also use condoms while having sex. sperm can disrupt your natural ph balances in your vagina.
