Hello friends/sisters in BV,

like everyone else, i have suffered with BV for about 12 years and have gone through all the antibiotic treatments, without a cure. Until i found this site, i had always felt alone and that no one could understand me, not even my sisters or bestfriends..it was my dirty secret, i was in tears when i found this site and read other stories of never being able to spontaneously have sex with anyone, always douching, always wearing tampons because of the disgusting discharge and odor...but then i found this site about 3 months!!!THANK GOD...I bought the folic acid and acido pills AND I douched with the peroxide AND betadine...i went for an all out assault and attack against my vagina!!!!! It was a miracle, i was clean and fresh for the first time in over 10 years....i am not completely cured of this plague BUT...the foul odor is completely gone, the discharge is minimal, and the only thing that i do to maintain this is to take the folic acid and acidophilus pills AND perform the douche..once every 2 weeks...AND I'M HAPPY !!! Like other women, i notice that it is worst during my menstrual, so i always do this afterwards. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SHARED HER STORY....

OMG IM BACK AND IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<<<<---- [doing a little dance in her chair] I bought the folic acid and acidophilus. (nature made brand Folic 400 MCG twice daily ALSO Sundown brand Ultimate probiotic formula 2 billion CFU non refridgerated four times daily) It was well worth it.

When I got it I immediately took two acidophilus and one folic. Waited a few hours and went to bed. Woke up and took another 2 acidophilus and another folic. By mid afternoon I was BACK TO NORMAL!!! I have had this for 8 YEARS!!! and its gone!!???!!!??? maybe I'm getting ahead of myself... but ITS FREAKIN GONE!!!!!!! I am so happy for this site... I think I will continue takind 2 acidop twice daily and one folic twice daily just to be safe and try to ween myself down to one each once a day.

I don't know what did it, i dont care.... its GONE!!!!!!!!!

i'm 25 years old, tried everything from the prescribed metrogel, clindesse, flagyl, diflucan, to the home remedy baking soda, yogurt, cotton undies, dove soap, not shaving down there, not having sex..... everything!!!

I've been to 6 different doctors and nothing has worked in the 8 years I have had this curse. Ive taken acidophilus in the past, perhaps im not taking enough. I just ordered folic acid and nutrition now, pro-biotics acidophilus from GNC. I even got triple cleanse (some colon cleansing stuff, i think) as well just to start fixing everything down there lol.

I am hoping this will cure if not help this crap. Im just so sick of being embarassed by it.

I have been struggling with just the right way to handle this problem. As I mentioned before, I used 1/2 peroxide and 1/2 h20 douche's but they didn't seem to work long term. I then used 50 million acidophillous pills but when they didn't disolve properly I got an infection.

I started to take 2 folic acid pills in the morning and 2 at night. I also changed from a pill to acidophillous capsules that have 14 billion bacteria. I put one in me morning and night and sometimes in the mid afternoon. That resolved the problem for a week. However now I have a yeast infection. I think the key to this is not to do too much. I tried to flush my vagina out with a syringe filled with liquid. I think that was just too much.

I am finding that you don't really need to douche at all or at least I don't. As long as I add the apple cider vinegar to my bath it seems to do the trick.

This isn't as easy as I thought it would be. It's a lot of work in progress for each individual person to find what works for them.

WORKED TEMPORARILY

I tried the peroxide douche, the acidophillous pills and the folic acid. It worked for the first couple days and I was in shock. But then the smell came back. My period started, but I kept doing what I was doing which caused me to get a very bad urinary tract infection. I took the acidophillous pills vaginally and I noticed they were not disolving as I thought they would. Perhaps that is what caused the UTI.

Since then I have been trying to figure out anything that works. One day this last weekend I smelled so bad I ended up doing 3 peroxide douches, plus 4 acidophillous pills. I honestly think you can overdo it.

Now, I take a bath and pour apple cider vinegar in the water. I open up my vagina to let the water sort of wash in and out. I then take 2 folic acid pills in the morning and night. I also have gotten acidophillous that was from a health store that is stored in the refrigerator. I take one in the morning and night. I may start to do one during the middle of the day as I notice my underwear get wet and then start to smell.

I found at least at this very moment that the peroxide cleaned me out right as I douched but the smell would come back fairly quickly. I don't know what combination will eventually work. I know it has cut down on the smell by about 90% when it works. But on days when it doesn't, I am once again forced to deal with the embarassment that people can smell me.

Update from 12/10/2008:

When I first wrote back in December, I had tried borax, H202 and acidophilus (both internally and externally). Shortly after, I began taking folic acid which was present in a tablet marketed for "stress relief", which had different B vitamins as well. I felt I had to update because I think the status should be changed from "better but not cured" to "cured".

Ladies, when I was initially struggling with the smell and irritation, I wanted something that would give me relief IMMEDIATELY. The H202 certainly provided that, but it was only temporary. I was in no rush to run to the pharmacy to get folic acid because I had assumed that it was more of a preventative measure, and wouldn't have any immediate impact on my symptoms. I was wrong. When I took those multivitamins with folic acid in them (3-4 tablet = 1mg of folic acid in each), I swear my severe irritation dissipated significantly within 1-2 hours. The H202 had helped the odor and the next day, the folic acid seemed to prevent the smell and abnormal discharge from returning. I went out and bought a bottle of just folic acid -1mg tabs, and continued to take them with acidophilus for about a week or 2. I would take 2-3mg of folic acid and about 3-4 acidophilus capsules which were said to contain the following:

4 billion active cells at time of manufacture of the following:
lactobacillus rhamnosus - 80% 3.2billion
lactobacillus acidophilus-10% .04billion
Bifidobacterium longum- 5% .02billion
Bifidobacterium bifidum- 5% .02billion

Shortly after I started taking these supplements routinely, I had my period and afterward my symptoms were gone entirely. I have been symptom free and feeling great for over a month. I know some girls ask if they have to keep taking the supplements after the symptoms go away, and from my experience, I have not been taking them everyday or even regularly and my symptoms have not returned. I do try to take them whenever I remember because I believe they are great for your vaginal health, but personally I did not find that I was forced to continue taking them forever.

Other things to note are that I have not had intercourse in a while after getting better, this could be part of the reason for not relapsing yet as this was one of the most aggravating factors for me.

I also continued to have some issues with bouts of painful and urgent urination that was sometimes cloudy after my BV felt better. I cannot be certain, but I believe what wiped out this problem entirely for me was when I started to drink 2TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar with 2TBSP Molasses and 1TSP of Cayenne pepper combined together in hot water (in a very large mug) and drank like a tea. I don't know if the actual amounts are that important, my reasoning for those measurements were that it tasted the best to me that way. I have been drinking this every other day or so now, because the taste sort of grew on me. I drank it with a straw most of the time to avoid teeth sensitivities. I wanted to try taking these supplements after what I read on this site about how they are good for your overall health. I wasn't intentionally trying to help my bladder issues but I strongly believe it did. I also seemed to have a shorter period with a reduction in the severity of cramps (these were becoming problematic due to my copper IUD). I believe this is because of the iron and magnesium in the molasses. I was not using blackstrap molasses btw, it was the Crosby brand of "fancy" molasses that is common here in Canada. I will keep an eye out for the blackstrap stuff.

Thanks again to everyone who wrote here and the admins for having such a helpful site. I wish the best health for all of you.

Hi Angela! I was tired of suffering from this too and the folic acid, acidophilus, and 1/2 h2o2 and water helped only initially. I felt like it was pushing the bacteria back into me only to return later. After a couple of times of trying this, my body just ignored everything I did. I did extensive research and decided to go on a limb and try the boric acid suppositories. I made them myself, but in most pharmacies you can ask the pharmacist to prepare them for you. I use the size 0 capsules and fill those with 600 mg of the BC. you can either insert this twice a day (morning and night) for 10 to 14 days or once at night for 14 days depending on the extent of the condition. I did twice a day for 14 days. While I was doing this, I took a very good probiotic and continue to take this. have not had a problem since. Hope this helps!!!

I am 21 and have been suffering with this awful affect for 7 Years (Since my first period) and something has got to change. First I liked to say I have tried all the medical treatments such as flag, clind, and even something called the oddessy. Ive been taking them so long my body just drinks them up without any positive affects on my body. I don't have any other std's and seem to be all around healthly. why won't it go away? So I have resorted to other women's feedback to help. I tried the 2 100bill Acidohil, 2folic acid, and douched 1/2 peroxide 1/2 h2o. It still hasn't given me any comfort. Can I still conceive? My question is for those who tried this method and it didn't work. What other methods are you trying????? Thanks, Angela

As most of you have stated, I was eternally grateful to have found this website. I switched birth control methods earlier this year and found my body in a pattern of recurring BV. After 2 visits to my doctor and 3 rounds of antibiotics, I decided that was enough and I was going to rid myself of this problem. I first started with the Acidophilus(refrigerated kind) and Folic Acid pills 2x a day. I also washed with the 1/2 and 1/2 Apple Cider Vinegar and Water combo. This provided some relief, but still experienced some discharge and itching. I then began using the 1/2 hydrogen peroxide (3%) douche before bedtime and this was a mircle. Instant relief. However, I did still experience some itching over the next few days. I increased by Acidophilus and Folic Acid intake to 3 pills a day and I did the Hydrogen Peroxide douche every other evening. I also have not been using any soap to wash my vaginal area, only the 1/2 and 1/2 mix of ACV and water or just plain water. Wow, what a difference this home remedy has made in my life. I can't wait for my visit to the doctor for my annual appointment so I can tell him about this remedy. Of course, it probably won't be shared with other patients, but I'm telling everyone I know.

I had been diagnosed with a mild case of BV back in Late October and because I knew nothing about it I told the doctor that I will wait it out because I do not like taking medicines. Well it just kept getting worse and worse. The most embarrassing would be when I was having sex, I could smell it strong and it was so embarrassing. So I had just had enough and looked up cures online and found this site. I was sceptable about trying the HYDROGEN PEROXIDE DOUCHE, FOLIC ACID, ACIDOPHILUS and I basically came home everyday and read peoples comments and stories. Then I decided that I would try it. And guess what.... It seems to be working.

Here is what I have been doing. I take 2 folic acid tablets and one acidophilus tablet in the morning. Then when I get home from work I take 2 more folic acid tablets and one acidophilus. The when i get my bath I douche with a 1/2 Hydrogen Peroxide 1/2 water solution and after that i get a bath and put 1 acidophilus tablet as far as I can get it in the vagina. I have waited for a week and done this religiously and it is working. No more smell and no more discharge. Today makes it a week since I started and I have decided that I will only take 2 folic acid tablets and 1 acidophilus in the morning and douche less often because it seems like thing are back to normal but I just want to make sure.

I just want to say thanks to all the people who post here because all of the stories gave me the confidence in the method to finally go out and get the products and try them myself. I feel so much better now. I hope my story helps someone out there who is spectial about trying it. Trust me you will be glad you did when you see the results.

Please inform me if my sexual partner needs to be treated, I just found out I have BV 2 days ago and I have taken probitics for years. I am vegitarian and eat little sugar, my vitamin has 800 ml of folic acid. I have a very mild case with no itching and only a smell with sex which has only happened once since my last period ended that was enough to go get checked and diagnosed. I have a feeling it was from the 2 of us with new sex partners this summer and then coming back together. I dont want this to get worse and am doin a gentle apple cider vinigear/ herbal douche with warm water as well as supplements, yogurt, and good bacterias daily. I am considering the peroxide today..

So far so good as a treatment after the antibiotic cream. I was on Clindesse about a month ago and since going off Clindesse, I have used a hydrogen peroxide/ distilled water wash with a few drops of tea tree oil each time I shower.

I noticed when I douched with the mixture I had an extra discharge that I did not find pleasant. Just after finishing Clindesse, I inserted two to three acidopholous caplets vaginally for three nights in a row. I think this kept a yeast infection at bay although I did have some sensitivity/redness when doing both the hydrogen peroxide and vaginal acidopholous caplets.

I continue to take acidopholous caplets and folic acid daily, in addition to Vitamin E & B-complex.

Also helping immensely with the odor: an occasional apple-cider vinegar/distilled water douche. I've done that a day after sex as well as after my period. It helps keep the odor away quite well. I just bought a Summer's Eve douche that I refill with half organic apple-cider vinegar/distilled water.

Thank you so much Earth Clinic for all of the advice on a problem that can be pretty embarrassing! Now I know the steps to take to prevent BV!

This website is a blessing and I'm so glad that I found it. I've tried several of the holistic remedies and they have all worked successfully. I use 3% hydrogen peroxide to take care of yeast infections as well as BV. With only one use, it works like a charm. I put about 2TB of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 2TB of water into a tube used to give babies medicine (basically you are filling up half the tube with 3%HP and the rest with water) insert it into the vagina, tilt your hips and leave it in for about 4 minutes and there it is, instant relief. I also take folic acid tablets on a regular basis as well as lactobacillis pills I get from a natural food store. I also eat a yogurt everyday. All of this is definitely helping any woman issue I could ever develop. Thank you earth clinic!!

I have suffered from bv since I was in highschool. I am now 25 years old and my selfesteem is just let me say, melted down from all the years of bv. I have never talked to my friends or family about it in fear that they would look down on me. I have never had mult. partners as my doctor assumed I had, and I was an athlete who sweat alot. The smell would come through my clothes, I was just horrified to sit next to anyone. Now in college and I have to wear scrubs, I know that my smell would fill the area that I sat in. Well thank the lord that I came across this web site on new years at 3:26am. I sat in my room and cried because I thought that I was the only one suffering with this, and dealing with the doctors that tell you that you need to start wearing a condom! I have been in my relationship for 3 years. But anyway I have been using this remedy for 3 days now and I feel like a new woman!!:

2 acidophilus(500 mill.) and 2 folic acid(400 mcg) in the morning and at night

1/2 3%HP and 1/2water (TBSP each) and use childrens medicine syringe, and cleanse at night then insert 1 acidophilus tablet vaginally.

It has worked great so far and I plan to continue but do the cleanse 1 time a week and take a lesser dose of pills but continue.

Thank you very much to the creator of this site, and to all the ladies who have posted. You all have really changed my life for the year 09 and beyond. 2009 is mine. THANKS!!!

A couple weeks ago I caught a nasty little head cold and while my immune system was hard at work combating the cold virus, the bad lil' bacterias were taking advantage in "other" areas.

I thought at first the little itch and discharge to be the starting of a yeast infection. So I treated it with your common over the counter "yeast" cures and NOTHING happened. The itch, milky discharge and every now and then with thorough inspection, a faint odor. Hummm....

I found this site through investigation and read through many comments sent in by women experiencing similar symptoms. After several cure options to choose from, here is what I did to help cure this BV.

Local drug store:
Florajen 3 - 15 billion CFU
Folic Acid 800mg
Hydrogen Peroxide 3%

Came home and immediately took 2 Florajen, 2 Folic Acid, 50% HP and 50% H2O thorough douche and went to bed. Woke the next morning with no itch and clear discharge with a "sweet" odor but not foul. The discharge still uncommon for me, I continued 2 Florajen and 2 Folic acid by mouth 2 x daily, once in the morning and once at night totaling, 4 Florajen and 4 Folic Acid tabs for that day.

Woke the next morning with still the same discharge symptoms, continued the 2 Florajen and 2 Folic Acids by mouth and went to the store and bought Primadophilus Optima 35 Billion CFU and treated myself as follows:

1 Primadophilus Optima inserted vaginally 1x
Continued the 2 Florajen and 2 Folic Acids that evening and went to bed.

Woke with still the same discharge and continued the 2 Florajen and 2 Folic Acids by mouth BUT also:

inserted vaginally 1 Folic Acid tab vaginally.
Took 2 more Florajen and 2 more Folic Acids by mouth that evening and went to bed.
Woke the next morning and upon inspection learned that my vajay is happy once again!!! BUT also learned that I am starting to get a bladder infection. For F$#!& sake!!! So I went and bought:

Natures Way Cranberry Fruit 45 mg tabs because drinking 100% cranberry juice is awful and I will be taking 6 tabs of this a day with plenty of water until the bladder is happy once again. GOOD GOD!!! If anything changes I will for sure report.

I am a 28 year old. I have been suffering from Bacterial Vaginosis since a teenager. I'm a very assertive women and always went to the doctor and told her straight up, I don't like how it smells. The odor is so overbearing. I take a wiff and want to just die. So i've been browsing the earth clinic because the dr's prescriptions are quick fixes and the BV always comes back.

I think with alot of these cures or prevention you have to do it for longer. We all want quick fixes but the key is to maintain. I did the 50% hydrogen peroxide 50% water and was so happy that my vagina smelled good.

I am very sexual person with my boyfriend. we have amazing sex and I know that he notices the smell. I always make sure to wash before he comes over. but during sex I can smell it. and it wreaks. He things the discharge is sexy and calls it cream but I don't mind the "cream" which is actually yeast. but my underwear minds it alot. sometimes it's embarrassing to take off my underwear for my boyfriend and their is all this white junk dried up or drying in my underwear. looks yucky. but the smell is what is most horrific. I can smell it through my pants. yuck. my boyfriend says he knows when my period is coming because of a smell. he doesn't make a big deal about it but it still bothers me because I can smell it.

Ok so I did the half water half hydrogen peroxide (3% for topical use) after finding this site (I was at my wits ends) and it worked for a while but then i didn't mantain with folic acid or the acidophilus.

I notice that the smell and heavy discharge comes on more frequently after sex with my boyfriend (we haven't used condoms in over 4 years) but i've always had the odor problem as long as i can remember. My vagina sweats easy to the point where my underwear is soaked and I know the bacteria is just breeding down in the wet heat.

I've tried everything to maintain clean hygiene down there. but the smell is awful. while i am bathing i could smell it. I wash correctly down there.

So now i'm trying it this way and I will come back to let you know if it worked or not. I've been doing it for 48hrs now.

I first started off with a "loading dose" of 1600 mg of folic acid) I have 400 mg so i took 4 of them at a time. Then I inserted 2 acidophilus pills in my vagina. I had the capsule so I opened it up and and poured it in my hand and shoved it up my vagina.

When i woke up this morning the smell wasn't as bad as when I started. But I could still smell a little something something. But the discharge wasn't as heavy as it normally is on my underwear which is a good sign.

I take 1 400 mg of folic acid in the morning and another 1 400 mg at night b4 I go to bed.

Tomorrow I have a gyn regular check up with my dr and i'm going to tell her what i've been doing and see what she says. but i'm definitely not going to go on any prescription she recommends.

I'm going to do these steps from 2mmrw and let u know how it went

1. take 1 (400 mg) of folic acid in the morning
2. b4 taking a shower use a syringe and insert 50% water 50% hydrogen peroxide into my vagina. I'm pretty flexible so i'm going to do it laying down with feet up in the air, pelvic lifted so it can get all in the creases of my vagina and rid me of that foul odor
3. b4 bed insert 2 acidophilus pills into my vagina. I have the capsules so i'll open it up and insert the powder with my fingers.
4. take another 1 (400 mg) of folic acid.
5. pray that the smell goes away!!!!!

WISH ME LUCK

I tried to be as open and honest about my experience. Having BV does something to your self esteem. So whatever I can do to help another women with BV i'll do because alot of women are suffering from this.

Hi Ann! To answer your question, GNC or your local healthfood store should have a wide selection of probiotics. The refridgerated ones are the best. These places are kind of expensive though. You could also try ordering online, its usually a lot cheaper, even with the shipping and handling charges.

Just wanted to follow up to let you ladies know that the H202 douche and acidopholis (sp) capsules worked! The entire time that my husband was home on midtour, I used the douche and inserted acidoph. daily and ALL of my BV symptoms stayed away! We are highly sexual couple (4 or 5 times a day) and not one symptom! It didn't even effect my natural lubricant!

Ladies.... it worked!

Thank you all for sharing your experiences and what works for you. Thank you all for having the courage to to discuss our issues and helping so many women.

I'm having some success for curing BV with hydrogen peroxide and buttermilk. However, the buttermilk is very messy and I'd like to switch to using probiotics for vaginal insertion. Where are you all buying probiotics for vaginal insertion? Thank you in advance.

I have struggled with BV for SIX years. I've gone through countless courses of antibiotic treatment, both oral and vaginal. Finally, about a week ago, I was at my wits end and started searching the net for home remedies. I am sooo happy that I found this site!! Here's what I did --

I bought a value pack of douche (doesn't matter the variety, since I really only needed the bottle), 3% hydrogen peroxide,acidophilus capsules (2 billion active) and folic acid 800 mg tablets. I emptied the douche bottle and filled it with 1/2 peroxide, 1/2 water and emptied one of the acidophilus capsules into the bottle. I hopped in the shower and used the douche. It burned a little for a while, but it wasn't too bad. I then took 2 of the acidophilus caps by mouth and one folic acid tablet. I repeated the douche everytime DH and I had sex and take the pills once a day. The discharge, odor and slight itching are all GONE!! I feel fresh and comfortable all day. I can't thank all the ladies here at Earth Clinic enough!!!

Even though I tried all three (Perox, Folic Acid and Acidophilus), I believe that folic acid might really be the key. When I think back over the past 6 years, the only time that I was fully free of BV was when I was pregnant and now I think that's because prenatal vitamins contain 800 mg of folic acid.

Thanks again Earth Clinic!
