TOPIC: Vaginosis help!

Created by: chimera66 Original Starting post for this thread:
I have been bothered by vaginosis from time to time and I don't trust the side effects of clindamycin (had bad reaction to both oral and vaginal in the past). It seems to me I have heard of a lot of "home remedies" (yogurt, garlice, ect.) that women have luck with. Any thoughts here? If it flairs up after sex, should I be using condoms with hubby in addition to play pals? Really looking for some good advice here, girls. Mrs. C

User Details are only visible to members.	I as well have had this problem in the past. I have had visits with my GYN and was diagnose with BV. Perscribed me the gel, and it worked for a few days. But after a few days same symptoms came back. Went back to GYN was pesrcribed flagyl, again this worked after a few days. After the med was taken completly. Then it came back after a few days. I have researched this disorder for a long period of time. My research has come up with the fact that BV is a disorder that is caused by your PH balance. Your PH balance gets out of wack and causes all the symptoms we experience. This is what i do and not had a problem with this in a long while. I am a long time user of flagyl, i take one pill every day. I also take acidophilus, 1 tab a day. i take this because flagyl can take a lot of good bacteria away and this pill will help put it back. I also eat one yogurt a day. I have been doing this for about 3 month and i am odor free and discharge free.Can have sex with no worry, before was always a worry of this problem because the odor and discharge was much worse during sex. Hope this helps

User Details are only visible to members.	yes, I know it's bacteria related. It just seems to happen more often to me." I would definately ask your dr about it. I am not a physician...but I understand that recurrent issues with this are usually Ph balance related. The balance of yeast and normal bacteria in the vagina can get off balance. With me usually its antibiotics that screws me up. I take antibiotics which kills the bacteria, the yeast grows and there you go. Then you kill the yeast and the normal bacteria gets out of control. Yogurt I believe helps to maintain the proper Ph balance in the vagina. But if this is recurrent I would definately talk with your doctor about what is going on. She, yeah Flagyl is nasty stuff. But when I had acute issues I wanted that shit gone lol.

Have you been tested for everything else to ensure that it is only garden variety vaginosis? Once you get it kicked out, keep up with the natural supplements to increase your body's natural defense mechanisms. E

User Details are only visible to members.	yes, I know it's bacteria related. It just seems to happen more often to me. We are not wildly active either. I had really bad reaction to the clindamycin tablets and I am leery of the vaginal cream. A mess to apply to also. Anybody have any experience with metrogel?

User Details are only visible to members.	As Dgrey said, bacterial vaginosis is a bacteria, this is what produces the odor. You need to see your gyn. I have unfortunately had it and was put on Flagyl. Be careful though...the meds kill the normal bacteria and you very well may get a yeast infection after. The ph balance of the vagina can be a bitch lol.

The oil is actually great for acne. You can use it in a very small concentration to treat blemishes, psoriasis, and other skin ailments. E

User Details are only visible to members.	Thanks Dgrey for the suggestions about oil of oregano.. I looked it up and it appears to have all kinds of benefits. I suspect my bouts are stress-related, but who knows? The oil appears pretty potent -- 2-3 drops in juice or something. How do you take yours? Mrs. C
