I was treated BV with Fluomizin, which is dequalinium chloride and therefore not an antibiotic. BV returned after a good week, only this time it wasn't a fishy smell nor yeasty. I don't know how to describe it, but I know it isn't right. Gyno now gave me antibiotics for chlamydia without doing any tests. I've never had any discharge or unpleasant feeling, just the smell. I was thinking if she was too quick with giving me antibiotics for chlamydia and instead should prescribe metronizadole. Did anyone use Fluomizin and what's your "impression"?
they should have done a swab before prescribing anything as u may not even have chlamydia bv is usually a fishy smell
My gut feeling says I don't have chlamydia, because fishy smell started few days after my partner was giving me massage and some massage oil got inside vagina. 15 years ago happened the same with my ex, except that time I had recurring yeast infection that finally cleared up after antibiotics we both took. Gyno justified prescribing me antibiotics before taking a swab that it takes a couple of weeks to get results back and that I probably want to get well asap. I told her about oil incident and she said it's not BV, because I don't have any discharge.
it dosnt take weeks to get the results a couple of days here in the uk suppose it depends were u live u can still have bv wiout discharge some women have had it diagnosed when they have had a pap smear they didnt know they had it
I agree Kim, some dont have a discharge like me its sometimes i get it, but when they checking for bv they check it right there and then, thats how they will tell you if you have it or not!
They shouldnt give you something that you havent been diagnosed of, me i always do my research before i put anything medicine in my body, so that wasnt right at all i hope you didnt take it!
Apparently she doesn't have lab as she needs to send everything out. Yup, that is me, no discharge, no irritation just this blody smell.
I got them about 10 days ago, but I was using Multi-Gyn which helped for about a week, so decided to wait. But yesterday I could sense the smell again. Only this time fishy smell is on vulva (can smell it 30mins after shower), while inside vagina is that indescribable smell. I decided to start with chlamydia antibiotcs, because I've tried 3 different over the counter BV remedies + Fluomizin and it keeps returning. I know it isn't the smartest idea.
ok keep me posted
i used the multigyn it made it ten times worse it was at its worst after using that for me
Definitely :)
Omg, really? I noticed in between it was awful smell, but when I was done with it ,it worked the best when it comes to smell wise. But after I was done with Fluomizin and probiotics smell reminded me of concrete or something like that, lol.
ye it was the worst smell iv ever smelt after using that i also tried pessaries and they didnt help much either the only thing that god rid of the god aweful smell for good was clindamycin antibiotic cream
I really, really hope I won't jinx it for saying this, i'm on day 6 of doxycycline and after more than 3 months my vagina finally smells the way it should. I literally shed a tear. I guess my gut feeling doesn't know jack, lol and it was chlamydia afterall. Symptoms showed 2-3 weeks after I had sex with a new partner for the first time, so that's about right. He has showed no symptoms, so had no idea he has it and is on doxycycline now as well. I guess massage oil was just a coincidence. Almost every website states one of the symptoms as yellow, frothy discharge, but with me the only symptom I had (fishy and first and weird smell later) was indicating it's BV.
The smell omg I at one point smelt of the sewers and that smell came through all my clothes and on to my sofa and I've never ever smelt like that in my life . I tried 2 rounds of antibiotics and the cream antibiotics and nothing touched it I'd tried suppositories and then someone messaged me on here and told me about boric acid and I purchased boric acid and it worked but my vulva doesn't smell fresh anymore but maybe that's because I no longer use female products down there I'm just using something called Aquarius cream mo perfume etc . boric acid worked I went to the clinic in was clear of bv but my inside smells fresh but there's a odd smell in the morning nothing like fish its more alkaline smell but I've not felt normal for 3 years ..
Hi im glad it worked for you, thats what i been on for a while! and im happy with it! but my last hope is the clindamycin !
Now I'm 3 days post doxycycline and while vagina seems ok knocks on wood, it has that salty, slightly acidic smell. I noticed that my vulva has urine smell. I do wash myself, use cotton panties, drink 2+l of water, wipe after I take a pee. Basically do everything I did before, but I never had this smell. I will use vaginal probiotics, but I'm waiting for my period to start any day now and don't want to stop in between. Does anyone know what this might be?
It turns out my gut WAS right and it wasn't chlamydia afterall, because awful smell returned again. I'm waiting for an email from my gyno office when can I come back.
My gyno prescribed me now clindamycin antibiotic cream and Diflucan oral antibiotics as I developed a mild yeast infection as well. Fingers crossed cream will work for me as well.
Hi how did the chlamidia antibiotics work for you? and whats the name of them?
