I have had BV / bacterial vaginosis for 8 years after receiving oral sex. Since then I have had many test,maybe 10 doctors, clear pap smears,hundreds of dollars in “cures” or appointments. I have taken many pills,supplements,homemade cures to try to cure.Most recently I tried Genitan Violet, it pretty much burned 3 treatments in, in my labia minora and the smell is already coming back…Some of these helped for the time i used them, but as soon as I stopped it came right back Since then I have had no sexual contact with any one because what man would want a person who smells like rotten meat, ammonia, or fish .. one of my many smells which I have had every day without cease for 8 goddamn years..But I must admit I did quit for months on end because it was draining my pocketbook and so damn depressing i’m a 27 year old virgin thanks to this beside the oral sex. before the sexual encounter i had never even had a yeast infection let alone any sort of smell.. can someone help me? I’d like to have a healthy sex life or even a chance at love, but if I can’t even get rid of this smell I may as well prepare for no kids,or marriage or any kind of intimate life

How have u tried these vitamins and home remedies? Just curious if u went thru these forums and tried to do any if them the way ppl stated they did it. That's what I did and it seemed to have worked.
Hi dont give up. Ive been there. Ive been dealing with BV/Yeast Infections since 2009/2010. It is hard. It kills your self esteem but it also kills your ability to feel like a women. I can assure that you can get pregnant. I'm currently pregnant and get BV every time I have sex, every time. It sucks. But I have an understanding boyfriend, thats the key is to find someone thats understanding. You cant hide this from them so its best to be honest about it and if the guy doesnt want to deal with it then move on. What has helped, not cured, me was taking 1 tbls of Barley Grass, 1 tbls of Red Maca Powder and Minerals. Our bodies need 102 minerals and of course dont get them from our food. I would suggest trying looking into minerals seriously. While I'm not cured I do use condoms every time i have sex. the times I havent I had to call my ob and get pills because the over the counter remedies do not work for me. Ive changed my diet, took so many pills, probiotics. You name it Ive tried it, expect boric acid. I refuse to try that. But dont give up on being a women, its possible. just much harder. I hope this helps.
I read bout someone using condoms when they have sex...I've had sex with condoms and u can still smell its there. So that won't natter. Just wanted u to know that.
Try mms and do not use soap of any kind in your genital area.
No stop all of those that's far to many products oh good lord , just wash in water twice a day go buy cotton kickers frow your old ones away and see how U get on also try having sex with a condom on you may just need to have sex ur body may be telling u it's time xx
I believe men can give woman BV. So every time you get treated, you will get BV again if you have unprotected sex with the same partner that gave you BV. Also I believe BV can live in a man's throat or mouth. So you can get BV from a man giving you oral sex. I know this info. from experience.
Oh my, girl! I feel your pain. I am 29 and have been dealing with this for almost 3 years. I got my tubes tied in 2013 and I feel like that is when I started getting frequent bacterial infections. I get it, I treat it, comes back a month or so later. I agree with the reply given about the idea that men DO carry it. I feel that when I receive oral, it comes back shortly after. I also agree that maybe your body is telling you it is time to get some. ;-) I wish we could be apart of a study to help professionals gain more information about this crap!
If you get it under controll then use comdoms it will help prevent it!
but if you have it ️️an have sex with or with out comdoms it won't matter because it's already there it needs to be treated or on the way to notice a change
Have blood work done. Test your levels. Maybe you're deficient in something. Vitamin D3 cured my bv! I had bv for 7 or 8 years. So I know what you're going through. I take 15000 iu a day. Things changed immediately. I had to be severely deficient. Hope this helps thanks
I used a lot do remedies from this forum actually. I use it exactly as they say to do it.
Already tried that am I a virgin
Good advice . Haven't tried this
Hi Melanie. I have vitamin d3 1000 iu pills so can u take enough to make 15000 or is that too many? Should I get the 5000 iu pills to make it easier?
Hi. I had BV for years and finally my Dr was off one day when I called in for more antibiotics and I got a different Dr on the phone that gave me the cure I had been waiting for that I never thought would happen. I was told to go online to amazon (which i did) and buy boric acid capsules. Use them once a night vaginally for 4-6 weeks. Also take a womans vaginal lactbillious (spelling isn't exact right but purchased it at Walgreens over the counter) oral probiotic for bacteria for several months as the bottle states. Also was told the first few nights after year periods ends insert a boric acid capsule. They are inserted in your vaginal and dissolve. Do the same after you have sex. Do this for three months. I did just that and finally got rid of it once and for all. I haven't done a thing as far as the capsules or probiotic pills etc for over a year and haven't had any reoccuring problems since. Forget the antiobitoics and running to the Dr. It doesn't work. Take care of it yourself. I am so very thankful to the Dr that finally gave me this information. Don't loose hope it works. The trick is to be consistent.
What brand of each pill do you use and how many milligrams?
the vaginal capsules are 600 milligrams called PH-D boric acid made by Vireo bought from amazon. I don't have the bottles any more for the probiotics I used. But I remember it said for vaginal health.
I work at amazon btw
but okay thank you for the info. How long did you take both pills before you stopped? Did the vaginal pills burn?
Okay nvm I found the answer in your other message. Thank you so so much I can't wait to try this
I have also had recurrent BV... I know it sounds crazy and I have never heard anyone suggest this before but... Are you having regular orgasms? Seriously, I think it is related. I have been struggling to orgasm since I quit seeing my amazing friend with benefits... About the same time I first developed BV. So... I've been smelling that fishy smell for a week or two (just finished a round of clindomiacian... Sp?) Anyway... I'm feeling hot and bothered so I decided to help myself yesterday and I came and squirted... Yes, this is the 3rd time this has happened. (The squirting... I know they say its just pee but I'm not so sure) so today the smell and itch is gone. Just gone. I think I'll be testing this theory again if the BV comes back. Lmao! Give it a try, what can it hurt! 😂😉
