So, I was diagnosed again with BV, the first time was back in June, I was treated with Metrogel but now it came back and now I am back with the same gel again, the discharge is there and sometimes I feel pain in my abdomen. My 2 pap smears have tested abnormal but my hpv is negative. Will the gel help to clear this BV?
Any suggestions?

For those of you out there who have had this, what were your symptoms? Right now, I’ve had one UTI for sure, and 2 that had all the symptoms of a UTI, but cultured negative for bacteria. It feels like I have a sore on one spot close to my vagina, but there’s no bumps or anything. It hurts during sex (sometimes–it’s better if I have a LOT of lube on, but I do not think the problem is the lube, since it was working fine before and we have not switched brands and there is no spermicide and the condoms haven’t changed either) and it also hurts to wipe after going to the bathroom. I had sex this morning and it didn’t hurt like it usually does (it might have been a little uncomfy at times where the sore is, but for the most part it was fine) but when I went to the bathroom afterwards, it BURNED on my vagina really bad when I peed. I was wondering–could I have bv?? Or what else could it be? I’m planning on going to the gyno soon, but I’d like to have an idea of what could be wrong.
I also sometimes itch pretty ferociously down there, but most of the time it’s normal.
Also, I don’t have any discharge.
I had a Pap test done in October and it was fine. I don’t have any raised up sores, it just feels like a sore when I have sex on one spot. Other than that, it’s fine on the inside of my vagina. The itching isn’t really around my vagina that much, and I haven’t itched for awhile, so the burning is not due to the itching.

I am trying to find home remedies for Bacterial Vaginosis. I found here online things like Garlic, and yogurt, but it never said how to use it. There were no directions on how to use neither the garlic or the yogurt. Anyone have any other methods or directions on how to use those?

was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis and just started taking the antibiotics today. The doctor prescribed me 500 mg, 2 a day for 7 days. I have heard that sometimes it doesn’t clear the infection and also sometimes causes yeast infection. My doctor said nothing about yeast, how will i know if my infection is cleared after taking the antibiotics, or if i have formed a yeast infection. Also, has anyone had to taket his antibiotic? Any weird side effects besides NO drinking of alcohol, i know. ? ALSO: When do symptoms start to clear up whil taking the antibiotics? I’m on my second day. Also my DR, said its non transmitable and said nothing about sex, can i have sex during treatment using a condom?

I went to my university health clinic after my boyfriend (at the time) admitted to cheating and me and told me he had contracted chlamydia from the other girl. Of course I dumped him right away. But then, I was having really weird symptoms, those similar to somebody who has gotten the disease. It was burning when I urinated, I was itchy, and had a really strong weird odor that I never had before. They checked me for both chlamydia and bacterial vaginosis. Luckily, I my chlamydia test was negative, however I ended up with bacterial vaginosis. I took all the pills they prescribed, but now I’m having the same exact symptoms. I just took a shower and I noticed that my discharge has a funny odor. Could I have it again!?
If a guy gets the infection from me could the doctors mistaken it for chlamydia? I was reading up on the internet and seen that a lot of times doctors mistaken chlamydia with bacterial vaginosis.
Well before my ex admitted that he cheated, I had been getting frequent Urinary Tract Infections. Thats why when he told me he had chlamydia it all clicked in my head and I said,"well thats why I keep getting these UTI’s." But when I went to the health clinic and they said my chlamydia test was negative, I was shocked. But there has been a little burning every now and then when I go potty. I am making an appointment tomorrow morning with the doctor to get checked out. Thank you for all your answers and support. I’ll let you know the outcome.

hiya i have just been told i have a bacterial vaginosis which i believe i have had for 3 month since my miscarriage – i have been given metronidazole to take twice a day for a week – does this clear it up – and does it normally return ? as i hope it dosnt – i have stopped douching and using perfumed soap which can cause the problem – do you think it will return ? How long after can you drink alcohol once the course is up ? and are the side effects really bad ?

So, last month I went to my doc because my boyfriend smelled some odor ‘down there’. I was told I had bacterial vaginosis. No, it is not sexually transmitted, and my boyfriend is the first guy I’ve been with in a long time.
I took my meds they gave me and the problem seemed to be fixed but, the symptoms started again. I went back for a follow-up to be sure if it had gone away or not. It either did and I got it again or it has not gone away at all…
My boyfriend and I don’t use condoms. Pregnancy is not a concern and we have both tested clean for STDs, so we don’t wish to use protection.
What is going on and why does this persist? I am a VERY clean person and I don’t understand why it is still going on? Any advice, tips or experience?
Please, no sarcastic comments.
