I'd like to share how I cured myself of bacterial vaginosis after over 10 years of suffering.
Some of my symptoms over that time included, apart from the smell, really weird, clotted and very strong smelling menstrual period, pain during intercourse, as if my vagina was rubbed raw, and recurrent vaginal thrush.
I have during this time overcome some other major health crises, yet the BV just wouldn't budge, despite a healthy diet, no sugar, fermented foods etc etc. In desperation i googled homeopathy for a smelly vagina. 2 remedies were suggested by the homeopathy forum I landed on to a woman who descibed her symptoms very much as if I'd written it myself. I looked into the remedies and found that kreosotum sounded more like me than whatever the other remedy was (can't remember what it was now) so i procured kreosotum 200c, I took 2 doses for 3 days and then a further dose a week later. I've been symptom free since (about 3 months ) and enjoying sex again! At last! I cannot express how happy I am to at last be free of this dreadful condition. It was soooo depressing for so long! I cannot say and would not suggest that this remedy would be the cure all for all women with this condition, that's not how homeopathy works! I would most certainly suggest seeking out a homeopath for treatment. I have a little bit of knowledge of homeopathy from treating acute condtions , I think I got lucky to pick the correct remedy off the bat like that, it is probably better to see a homeopath in other words, rather than do what I did and try your luck, but if you're on a tight budget it might not be a bad idea to try treating yourself. The remedies are so inexpensive. I think the reason I'd not seen a homeopath myself is that i was too damn embarrassed to talk to anyone about what I was experiencing :-( i just felt so yucky!
I hope this gives somebody some hope!
Good luck with your vaginas ladies and don't give up !
