WORKED TEMPORARILY
Yesterday I found a report from the National Institutes of Health saying that STRAIGHT peroxide (3%) (not mixed with water), used as a douche for 7 days is just as effective as the prescriptions.
Here is a link to that study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14676737 I've been doing the half peroxide-half water douch for two days, and tried the all peroxide douche this morning. I can tell the difference allready! I'm going to continue this for 7 days. I'll write back to report on how it did.

A few weeks ago I wrote that I was trying straight peroxide for BV. It seemed to work, then I got my period so I stopped. Then I had sex again, and the BV seemed to come back. I'm giving the straight peroxide another chance.
I'm curious to know if other women get BV after sex even with a condom. Or, have you tried different condoms and found some are better than others for this. I'm starting to wonder if it is the spermacide that is messing me up. Last time we had sex, my BF used an unlubricated condom, but then we had to use a lot of KY liquid for lubrication. All we had around was the "warming liquid" in the orange bottle. I have to imagine whatever stuff they put in it to make it warming can't be ph balanced!

Stop having sex for awhile. I know it's hard to explain this to your old man, but NOTHING flares up a yeast/bacterial infection like intercourse. It will never go away otherwise. It's painful anyway. You won't want it.
I got a raging yeast infection immediately after losing my virginity five years ago and been battling these infections and bladder infections since then.
I've suffered and it's been humiliating having these infections and odors along with discharge, it's so hard to make men understand about this. With alternative medicine my infections became less frequent and I can control them now, but I could never have sex every single day, maybe about 2 to 3 times a week, because my vag gets irritated, sore, and dried out, and I develop infections. That was the only way I learn to control these infections. (You can't have sex too frequently) let your vag heal, and give her a little down time.

Pam, stick with full strength 3% HP for at least the 7 days. DO NOT be lazy about it, just because the smell is gone after the 1st, 2nd day does not mean you're completely healed. DO 7 days straight. I'd say start the remedy AFTER your period. Blood is alkaline so is male pre-ejaculate/sperm and also female "lubrication/juice", that's why it comes back even with condom use. After 7 days, you should start feeling better without itch, odor, and decreased discharge. Do not have sex "OR" orgasm on your own (female juice is alkaline, it will set you back and you'll have to start from the beginning). No blood no sexual activity for the 7 days. I'm into my 3rd week even after sex and PERIOD!! My discharge is changing back to it's original consistency and texture. I have no odor whatsoever!! I actually have less of a "NORMAL" odor now than before I did the HP remedy - weird. Ladies 3% Hydrogen Peroxide works but, you have to use it FULL strength. Do washes NONE of that 1/2 and 1/2 douching. Douching IS bad for you. Ladies I wish you the best of luck with this crap of an ailment. Try this. It's working for so far. I smell like air!! Hooorayyy!!

My story sounds pretty similar to all the others. Been dealing with BV for about 7 years. Never really got rid of it. Different Doctors have tried different meds. over and over. Tried Refresh wich was ok for a couple of days. I finally got so discouraged I just gave up and figured I'd have to live with it, until I started researching on my own. Im now trying accidophilus and 50/50 peroxide and I think it might be working but then a week later I got a yeast infection ,maybe from changing my ph too much? I'm not sure

Hi ladies & concerned partners,
Thankyou for sharing, your combined information is incredibly valuable!!
When your body seems to be letting you down, remember your body is trying to always keep a balance in this crazy old world of "short-cut" living and eating, and unappreciated stresses.
Many people rightly seek a Doctor's opinion and care, but when the advice and treatment is not giving you the results you hoped for or getting to the source of the problem, consider seeking another opinion from a different health philosophy, such as a Naturopath. A qualified Naturopath will spend about an hour getting to know you, and asks a lot of questions to consider many aspects of your health, lifestyle, diet, emotional state etc. Their treatments aim to helps the body heal itself by supporting your systems & considers you wholistically. Herbalists, Nutritionist and Homeopaths can also be very helpful depending on your health concern. Horses for courses and all that!
Most cities have a professional listing of registered practitioners in your area. Find one that suits you. I hope this information has helped you to steer you in a new direction with your health and self-empowerment, be it for BV or other issues.
Best Wishes to you all.

i just want to say that i think we should talk about PREVENTION!!! I have been heavily drinking coffee, daily and I never had these symptoms until the last few months. I think I will drastically withdraw from drinking the coffee and see if that is part of or is the problem.
one other thing is that I think also is water intake. I notice how I feel dry majority of times. I have tried a product by the name of Yeast Guard. they have the natural douche, a gel, suppositories and pills. However, they worked while I was taking the pills and the douche for 7 days. However, when I stopped the good 'ol infection came back!! Now, I had some B vitamins with 400 mcgs of folic acid and I took one, as soon as I found out it was a remedy! I will start to resume the Yeast pills for extra measure. I paid for it, I may as well use it... right? anyhow, it doesn't hurt.
IN conclusion, please look at your diet and notice anything that you may ingest that may cause this monster to come back again, again and again and again.
the buck stops here!

I have suffered for 10 years with BV and UTI infections. Many nights I have cried myself to sleep because the pain was so bad. I can't enjoy sex with my husband many days bc of the pain or the fear if I do have sex the next day I will pay for it. I often call my vjay jay the man hater!!! I found this website and went straight in my bathroom and tried it. I feel so much better its awesome!!!! I'm so happy right now I hope it keeps working!!!!! Thanks to everybody on this site!!!!

Greetings Everyone... I am like many of you women who have suffered from this embarrassing infection for months at a time. Before I really understood what this was I figured it was just a simple discharge that would go away. In the beginning there were no symptoms no smell just the discharge. It eventually got worse and I knew it was a problem. Having no health insurance I just battled with it until recently when it has literally overtaken my intimacy and almost my self esteem. I seemed to be having more and more discharge everyday until last week when I decided to start my research and hopefully do something about it. After reading through serveral sites I read that yogurt inserted internerally would do the trick. So on Sunday 2/20/2011 I inserteed Plain Yogurt as instructed. That seemed to work a little as I noticed less discharge. On monday I was pretty much satisfied I felt comfortable again still discharge was present but just not overbearing tons of it. So on Monday 2/21/2011 I continued reading comments on EC and found that some women found comfort in using Hydrogen Peroxide and Probiotics so I decided to stop by the pharmacy after I left work. So when I get home this is what I did.
Prepared Hydrogen Peroxide solution:
1/2 cup of water
3 cap full of hydrogen peroxide
I used a simple medicine dropper with the bulb at the end can be bought at any pharmarcy store, dollar general, etc... I steralized the dropper with alcohol pad and begin the flush. I used this solution to flush out my vagina. No burning or itching occurred. Afterwards I took a regular tampon soaked it in the plain yogurt and inserted it into my vagina. Next I took a probiotic pill that had 10 billion live cultures in it.
I left this tampon in for approximately 2hrs. Removed it showered with Dove soap (sensitive skin) and my vagina felt extremly refreshed and cleansed. That night I slept without any panties so that my area could breath.
Following morning another H2O2 flush and then I inserted two full drops of yogurt (w/o tampon) into my vagina cleaned myself up and put on my cotton panties along with a panty liner. I took my dose of probiotics while I ate breakfast and then was off to work
This method so far has been a miriacle worker for me. Im on day three and there is ABSOLUTELY no discharge whatso ever and my vagina is getting its natural scent back. I am once again feeling extremly clean and comfortable about my hygiene.
I would recommend for chronic suffers to make a long term routine and stick to it. Just because it works dont stop treating yourself. Continue taking your probiotics, consuming yogurt and look into diet change. If you want longterm effects I believe in longterm changes. I am extremly grateful for the site and wish you all well on your ventures for a cure that works for you!!

i was convinced that my boyfriend had been cheating on me, becuase for a while i had a hectic schedule at work and he had his hectic schedule at work, so playtime was nearly out of the question. and when we would play, i would get the BV EVERYTIME. so i was convinced he was cheating. we were having sex maybe 1 or 2 times a month. i quit my job, and we've been seeing more of each other and this was the first infection of 2008. and the doc kept reassuring me that BV is NOT an STD. or STI.. but, i'll repost in a couple of days and we'll see how things turn out!
