Bacterial Vaginosis Resources

I had no idea that urinary tract infection symptoms could be related to Bacterial Vaginosis! I recently went to a urologist who confirmed my suspicion. I wasn’t even aware that I had BV because I didn’t have the common symptoms such as weird discharge, itchy or foul-smelling vagina, but I was given Flagyl as a prescription. When should I see results, and should I be concerned about vaginal smell when having sex with my partner?

MissAmanda asked:

I am really getting depressed about my bv situation. Just in the past year, I’ve gotten this infection numerous times. It’s frustrating because every time I get treated for it, it comes back with in a month! The doctors don’t seem to really know why I keep getting it (I’ve been to two already), and I need answers! I’m tired of spending hundreds of dollars on tests that are not helping my situation. I’ve heard that yogurt helps, and although I don’t particularly fancy it, if it will help my situation, I’m willing to give it a shot.

Can BV affect my husband’s penis if I have it for a lengthy period of time?

Bee asked:

I’ve been having unpleasant vaginal odor now for a while; I don’t have health insurance, so I haven’t been to a gynecologist. I know what BV symptoms are because I’ve had it before but never got treatment for it. What should I do? Could this be due to something my husband has – I have noticed a foul smell coming from his penis after sexual intercourse.

Can male semen or any other fluid coming from the penis mess up a woman’s pH to the point where it causes her to have BV?

At the moment, I don’t have health insurance, so I’d like to know what some home remedies are for BV. I’ve been suffering from this for 3 months. HELP!

SoberAsADuck asked:

Hi. I’ve just begin taking antibiotics after being diagnosed with BV 2 days ago. What’s the best way to know if my infection has cleared up after taking anbiotics? Are there any harmful side effects of antibiotics, and when do symptoms usually start to go away? Can I still have sex, or do I need to wait until the infection is gone/my prescription is finished?

PrimaDonna asked:

I’m quite embarrassed to discuss this, but I need help bad. After taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, I’ve been having some issues with vaginal discharge and irritation. I thought it was a yeast infection, so I took Diflucan, but I haven’t felt any relief yet. Although the cottage-cheese yeast infection type discharge has ceased, now I’m having a yellowish/greenish discharge. I’ve had BV several times before, but this time I don’t have an odor. I’ve been tested for STDs more times than I can count (in fact, I’m quite paranoid now – even being in a monagamous relationship). Could this be just a yeast infection or BV again?

alkeia7938 asked:

I wen to the emergency room after suffering from severe stomach pain, flu-like symptoms and vaginal bleeding not due to my period. To my surprise, I was diagnosed with BV. I haven’t found much information that lists my symptoms in relation to having BV. Could this be more than just a bacterial infection? I’m scheduling an appointment with my OB/GYN tomorrow. Also, can BV cause any other female reproductive problems? Has anyone else experienced my symptons with BV? Thanks
