OK so i know that technically men CANT get BV or atleast thats what doctors say. But i feel like i keep getting it after i have sex with my bf ( he does NOT ejaculate inside me though) Ive been doing research on this all day and ive read that some men have been treated for it and their partner stopped getting it righht after they were BOTH treated has anyone out there had a similar situation happen to them who treated their boyfriend , husband?? This will be my next step ( I also tried boric acid not sure if it actually cured the BV but it made the smell go away)
In my country (cuba) they treated with Amixicilina for 10 days for him and her, im gonna start next week with the treatment and also my boyfriend , I hope it's gonna work.
Let me know how that goes! Good luck
I'm not sure but I remember having my ex take a round of medication and it didn't stop it only for a little while, it's a nightmare for sure, I have been single, no dating, sex for over a year, met someone a few months ago and inside have been freaking out its going to happen, we all know it! I actually sat him down and explained it to him just so he could run if he wanted to. This stinks!
Did he stay? I don't know what I want to do either. I'm not exclusive with anyone but I do really like someone and I'm so afraid to have sex with him. Sadly I had sex with my ex to see if the hone remidies worked and I could smell a hint of it but not like I use to. He couldn't smell it at all but of coarse I was looking for the smell. It wasn't like a spread in the room smell but I had smelt it on my hand from when we changed positions and I put him back inside. I also would like add this is also the man that cheated and that's the reason my doc told me I got it to begin with. So anyway I dony want to do it with someone that matters and have it be yucky. What happen when u told him bout it?
When i first got bv i made my boyfriend get treated as well, but i still ended up getting it again two weeks later after sex and had to get treated even more.
Well ex boyfriend now haha.
Did you guys use condoms at all?
Try taking probiotics
Make sure your not exposing your vag to any irritants. Do you Wash with soap?
It didn't happen with him, we have only had sex once, I told him about it after and why I was freaking out, just because it didn't happen this time doesn't mean it won't the second time and yes, I have finally found someone that isn't all about themselves and it may be a struggle but I don't believe he's going to run haaa, stay tuned! and you said that that you smelled it on your hand but he didn't smell it? Wow, when I have smelled it on my hand it smelled all during, so awful, I'm honestly freaking out for the next time, but I do have to say that this forum has mainly younger people here, it started for me last year with the other guy( jerk) I'm 57 and had a total hysterectomy 10 years ago, so I'm dry, I don't take hormones so my lining is thin etc. I think I was so susceptible to BV. And like you all have no freakin idea what to do about it, I only take probiotics for women's flora& gut, that's it, not into putting anything inside that doesn't belong, just feel that opens up a whole risk for infection.
In your case it may be the hormones causing it. Ive read it about it before
you should definitely look into it
We did when we first got together, but after a few months and getting bv, no. And we did not use condoms after the medicine because i figured it wouldnt come back but it did.
It's relentless!!! Uggggg
I'm taking acidophilus which is a probiotic. Is there a dif probiotic that I shoud be taking?
I'm not sure if it didn't fill the room cuz of what I have been doing or what. I mean I'm glad not cuz I was scared of what happen. I mean it was with my scumbag ex that caused this to begin with (well I believe anyways) I was glad cuz that lets me think that it mite not happen at all with someone else. Especially if I get this under total control.
Im currently taking vitamins C and D ive heard it helps and women who lack it keep getting BV i take "Vitamin C 1000 mg with rose hips"
And also "Vitamin D3 5000IU"
Those r probiotics? Is that all u take and do u take them orally? I've seen ppl on these forums inserting them. I also saw that u did boric acid and it got rid of the smell. Was that an oral thing? Did it keep the smell away or do u use it evertime it comes back?
It really is!!!!
Do any of you's who suffer this drink energy drinks?
I find every time I drink a cheap 35p energy drink it's back the more I drank the worse it Got they where called lsv energy or energy boost blue or red cans same size as red bull, hear in uk,
Stoped having them and it's gone not felt like needing a ciggIe quit years ago but fell like smoking every time I drank these , and stoped having pains in stomach those energy drinks are so bad for you x but that's another post lol
I am low in vit d also, have read that normal levels do help with keeping bv at bay, I think im going to start vitc w/ rose hip by mouth but have heard that putting that inside is an instant fix but I'm just not putting anything inside that doesn't go.
