VERY personal question. Women only please, unless you are a male doctor. I can't get over my…?
For the last 7 months I have had a HORRIBLE case of BV. Everyone in the room can smell it. I would be in my office and everyone noticed it. That has been this way for 7 months now.
I've been to the doctor numerous times, but the medicines don't work. I've tried pills and I've tried the direct applications.
I am on birth control now too. And I have already taken numerous vitamins like Acidophlus. Currently I'm trying B9 (folic acid), but it's no use!! The smell is still there and I can't bare it...
What are some methods that I should try? This is realy personal, but I know I should avoid sex, but what about masturbation? doe sthat make it worse too?
Please help, please!!!! Thanks for your time!
why does my vagina not like sex?
I've always experienced discomfort while having sex and furthermore found absolutely no enjoyment in it.. so I haven't done it all that often.
The other night decided to try again with a new partner.
Again, I found it only painful.
This irritation has not since gone away and today when going to shower I noticed a yellow discharge that has lead me to worry about infection.
So my question is actually a couple things:
one - could I be allergic to latex condoms?
two - can intercourse cause bv?
and three if this sounds like bv does anyone know how to treat this with acidophilus?
I've recently moved to a new city and haven't really discovered any clinics but there is a vitamin store down the road I figured I might try treating without antibiotics.
vaginal odor after sex?
i have battled with bacterial vaginosis in the past so i have done some major changes to hopefully prevent it. I have read many books and researched websites for this problem. I have changed my diet to no wheat or gluten, no acidity drinks, and no pickled or fermented foods. I have also been taking 30billion live probiotics daily, eating yogurt like crazy (thank god i love yogurt), plus taking daily does of l-lysine, folic acid, vitamin e, flax seed(omega-3), b-12, and vitamin c. in the last two months i have noticed that vaginal odor only after sex...so i went to my doctor. they tested me for BV and it came back negative...? so what the heck is going on with me? i am truly losing my mind... i do also have ulcerative colitis but i have not been having any problems with it. i do know that antibiotics kill off good and bad bacteria thats why i dont take it the only thing ive used for BV is the creams or gels.
