    Default Anyone else have recurring BV? (TMI)

    I just started getting recurring BV. (Bacterial Vaginosis) I had it once when I was 19, and I got it again in April. Now, I've had it every 3-4 weeks since April. Even without using tampons, a douche, having sex, changed my detergent and I wear breatheable clothing; but I still get it. I get the creamy, yellowish or grayish, foul smelling discharge. Except this time, it's POURING out. I have to wear a pad and change it as though I have my period. Although, there is never a fishy smell, it is still a very foul smell. I keep getting prescriptions for Miconazole Nitrate and it works, but the infection comes back in a few weeks without fail.

    If you also get this....how do you work with it? How do you maintain an intimate life with it? Have you found any cures? Thanks for your support everyone.

    Maybe you need to try a different medication. It might not be knocking it out each time, rather it may be making it feel just good enough that it makes you think it is gone. Especially if you have to use it a lot because the strain can grow resistant.

    ^^^^ Good idea! I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for yet another prescription, so I'm going to mention that.

    Make sure you tell the doctor that you KEEP getting them. Make it obviously clear. I get UTI's all the time and the one that landed me in the hospital had got to the point where it didn't even react to the normal meds I was given. They had to bring some thing they use in europe (I'm even not kidding).

    I'm not saying that your issue is that big of a problem but reoccurring anything needs to be specifically mentioned. It's a different problem than just getting one once a year.

    BV can be hosted inside your partner's urethra, so if you have a regular sex partner tell him to go to the doc as well. He may be re-infecting you. If you use certain artificial vaginal lubricants that are sticky (like astroglide) and dont wash off, the stuff grows bacteria. If thats the case--only stick to KY jelly or Rephresh.

    Don't have sex for about 2 weeks until you BOTH are cured. Keep in mind that BV can make it easier to catch STDs...so dont fuck anyone, lol.

    In fact, dont put ANYTHING in your hoo-ha (including your fingers or dildos, lol) until everything cured.

    Do you use tampons? You may be leaving them in too long or using a brand with chemicals that dont agree with you. Using sea sponge tampons or unbleached cotton tamps may help with that. Dont reuse sponges unless you soak them in hydroperoxide overnight.

    To maintain your vaginal ph levels, douching with one part cider vinegar and one part purified water ONCE every 2-3 months aint a bad idea.

    Recurrences
    If the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis return within a few weeks of treatment, it may mean the original infection is active again. A recurrence several months after treatment may be due to reinfection.

    Some women experience repeated cases of bacterial vaginosis. The reason for this is not known, and there is no known treatment for eradicating the condition. Sometimes changing from one treatment to another (e.g. from metronidazole to clindamycin) is helpful.

    Treating the partner of an infected woman does not seem to prevent recurrences.

    Better safe than sorry...bacteria infections of any kind are communicable in their respective ways.

    Im super paranoid about this kind of stuff because i get sick so easily. the things i mentioned have personally helped me considerably.

    but true enough, sparkleyez may simply have shitty luck.

    ^^^^ Thanks ladies. I haven't been having sex, so it's not a re-infection thing. I'm not sure why I've been getting them for the past few months. I'm going to try the unbleached cotton tampons. My vaj is naturally very moist and I always have some type of discharge, even if it's just normal self cleansing discharge, I always have to wear a tampon for work, even when I'm not on my period. That could definately be a part of the problem.

    ^^
    Yep seriously stop wearing tampons at work it's not good all the time. I get quite a bit of vaginal discharge all the time and I work at a nude club and my g-string always has something in it. Vaginal wetness is a good thing not a bad thing. If a custy ever noticed it u could just say you're horny LOL.

    Also on that website it says that if you have been using one type of medication for it but it keeps recurring then u should try a diff type of medication (see my above post).
    But it also says sometimes it cannot be cured unfortunately.

    Yeah, me too! My thong constantly has something in it. I started wearing tampons at work because one time while I was on stage, a whole load of thin white discharge came out and it dripped onto my thigh. So I don't want that to happen again.

    Flagyl by mouth is the only thing that has kept this stuff at bay for me.

    Flagyl- that's what I keep getting prescribed. but when I was 19, I got metrogel and it didn't come back for 6 years. I think I will ask for that.

    Yogurt doesn't help it. I wish it did. I eat tons of it which is probably why I never get yeast infections.

    I was going to mention metrogel as I used to have recurring bv and that knocked it right out.
    Also, think about your diet. Is there anything you've been eating alot of? Sugar does it for me...
    Instead of wearing a tampon just have a few bottoms you can change into throughout the night. Tampons make it hard for air to get in.
    Try the garlic clove at bedtime.
    What a yucky feeling bv gives you... that raw feeling is NOT fun. ACV+water rinse is very soothing. Don't douche, just clean out with your fingers to get all that discharge it will help as well.
    My gyn told me to be careful about the bacteria from the anus finding its way up front, esp with thongs and sweating. Maybe keep butt wipes with you too...
