Does BV cause vaginal burning? I read in some places that it's one of the rare symptoms of BV. I have slight smell and some discharge (not a lot), but what's bothering me the most is the burning. My symptoms started when I got pregnant ( semen could be the culprit), unfortunately I miscarried at 6 weeks but BV stayed 
. I am on my second treatment of antibiotic (cleocin) since flagyl did not work.
I had burning issue years ago with severe case, it went away with oral metro
Thsnks for replying. Was it related to BV? Oral metro is antibiotic?
Oh I think you are talking about flagyl. I already completed one course but zero affects
Hi mishi15887,
My symptoms are quite similar to yours I also was put on flagyl took it orally and that did not work I also tried the gel and that didn't work it made me more irritated I am now on my 3rd round of antibiotics my doctor prescribed the cleocin in the cream form I have 2 more days I feel like my symptoms have improved but have not completely gone away if the cleocin does not work my next step will be to try the PH-D boric acid suppositories I have heard a lot of great reviews on them and how women have tried everything to cure BV and boric acid is the only thing that worked for them to help cure BV so I'm at my wits end with this situation it's been 2 months so I'm willing to try anything. I hope you are cured very soon.
I dont have the vaginal burning or itching. I have the discharge with fishy odor smell that I dont like. I am taking flagyl at the moment for 2 times a day once in the morning and the other at night. It's been working and I was told to eat plain white yogurt that has the ingredient acidophilus which helps fight the bacteria and smell and take at least 2 table spoons a day of the yogurt which helps BV.
Thanks Nov10 for replying. Is burning your main issue? I started my second treatment of antibiotics (cleocin tablets), currently on day 2 but no improvement. I also started probiotics today. I am also ordering acti-gel. Hope we find a solution soon.
Yes, its didnt work last time nor clindamycin(cleocin) but Z pak worked. Dr gave it to me for an infected tooth. Go figure?!
Thanks. I will research on it
What exactly is a z pak? And what was the process in taking it?
A bit of burning and discomfort/irritation. What is the acti-gel your talking about?
I got to know about it on this forum n read good reviews on Amazon as well. It's supposed to help with BV. You can search on Amazon.
Hi mishi15887
I just wanted to check status and see how you were doing? Any improvement? I finished my medication last Saturday and still no full improvement it's very depressing. I'm gonna be making an appointment with a obgyn to see what they say.
I think I have BV and my worse symptom is horrible baginal burning. I think I have a severe case as it went in for over two weeks before I was properly diagnosed. I was finally given 2000mg Flagyl orally in the ER 4 days ago and symptoms have improved somewhat except for this burning. When I sit for a long time or when walking, I still am having burning. I went to the gyn 2 days ago and she seemed unfazed that I was having so much burning, like it's very common and normal. She prescribed a steroid/antifungal (nystatin with something else) and said that it should help with the redness, inflammation and burning. I'm on day 3 of using the cream and while I noticed less redness and inflammation, I'm still burning a lot when I sit. Now I'm terrified that I've developed the chronic condition vulvodynia triggered by an infection since the nerves down there are so inflamed. I'm hoping it's just taking my vulva a while to get back to its normal healthy self but I am really anxious that this burning won't go away.
Interesting about what you mentioned vulvodynia, when I go see the gyn I am gonna ask about that because my symptoms are similar to yours with the burning/irritation I looked up symptoms and they seem to be what I'm experiencing the funny thing is when I went to see my primary doctor and she did some rest on me labs came back saying I had BV but I dunno I don't think the doctors do enough research on this condition. I feel your pain and I hope we can all find a cure for this 🙏🏼
Hello middlechild79. I have BV and been taking flagyl 400 the pills twice a day and it worked for my smelling that I had. I had bumps that were irritating until I found out that I had purritous which causes bumps to itch and irritate while urinating or burn. I hope that yiur problem will get resolved. For the burning of bumps or itching take hydrocortisone 2.5 ointment for the pain because it worked for me. You have apply it several times a day and wash your vagina with non scent soap. I hope this help your vagina.
When I had BV I had burning, discomfort and irritation. Did you find anything that worked for your burning to go away?
So, three weeks after my last post, I have been diagnosed with vulvodynia, specifically vestibulodynia. My urogyn thinks it could have been caused by an initial infection which somehow hypersensitized the nerve ends on my vulva. Thankfully the burning sensation is gone for the most part but I have discomfort, stinging and irritation every day. He has prescribed a topical compound cream to be used twice a day and is pretty confident it will eventually go away. Although I have read horror stories of women who have had vulvodynia for years, even decades, without a solution. I'm hopeful I won't be one of those.
Thank you for letting us know how it turned out! I am happy to hear you have found some relief and I hope it goes away 100% for you!
Hi, what is purritous?
