This is for the ladies like myself that have vaginal discharge and a vaginal odor. I'm using acidolphilus pills vaginally but I haven't seen many results. I still have the discharge but the smell has gone away some. I was using boric acid pills and they were working but idk if I wasn't consistent enough with them. Maybe I'll buy those again but I want a simple remedy please if anybody knows one. I also have vitamin c with rosehip but I'm scared they will burn me.p
I have the odor but not much discharge. Vitamin c with rosehip didn't burn me but only work as long as I take them. I'd say start with half of a tablet if you're afraid of the burn. If it doesn't burn, try a whole one!
I actually make the boric acid pills myself, it's so much cheaper. I make a ton at a time so i don't have to make them for a few months. I insert one every night before bed and I am good to go. If I stop using them for like two days, the BV starts to come back, so i just keep using it. It's the simplest remedy I have found so far with the least amount of money spent!
How long have you been taking them
How long have you been using them
The only thing that worked for my daughter consistently was the use of boric acid vaginal suppositories and cutting sugar out of her diet.
As soon as she eats sugar, the imbalance begins and the yeast returns.
lashanda28364. I have had BV off and on for about a year and a half. I have been sent to a Gyn, then to a urologist and now back to the Gyn. I have take many antibiotics and the BV kept coming back. I am now on the boric acid suppositories. I believe it is working but have to take them consistently for 3 weeks at bedtime. I was told not to put anything else in the vagina, not even creams. I also heard cutting back on sugar helps. The ones I have were bought at a pharmacy which compounds them. I do not have the smell that I notice or only a slight thin discharge that is itchy. Hope this helps.
Oh gosh I would say about a year.
you can make them yourself...the bottle of powder is like $11 and the empty capsules are about $3 for a pack of 100...I also bought a capsule making machine for $15 (one time charge). one bottle lasts about 3 bags of capsules. its so easy and sooooo much cheaper!
Hi where do you buy the powder and capsules to make yourself.
Do u have sex while taking capsules .
I've had BV for a year it's horrible nothing helping
You can buy them ready made on Amazon. It is such a senstive part of your body I would recommend something that has passed quality control. Control the sugar in your diet. That is so important.
Cindy, I do make the suppositories myself. I think it may be a little dangerous to do yourself. I got these at a hospital pharmacy. Most pharmacies do not carry these as they have to be made up, or compounded.
I was told it is better not to have sex while taking these or while having BV. You can expose your partner to the BV.
Thank you so much. So you used them for 3 weeks and you stopped or are you still using them?
Okay thank you I'll buy more boric acid pills
I have only used them for about a week. I am told I need to use them for 3 weeks so that the Ph level can be balanced. That is the main problem with BV. Your Ph level gets out of whack - the good bacteria vs the bad. I have to say that everyone should first see their Gynecologist.
Yes I know all of that. I've had bv for 7 yrs. I'm gonna start the rose hips pills tonight since I have them and if that doesn't work I'll buy more boric acid pills. Thank you so much!!
I've battled BV for about 6 years. I got on this site and a lady was suggesting I use Boric Acid, at first my mind was all over the place about that then I finally decided to try it. I asked my gynecologist about it. I've done all antibiotics and developed a yeast infection every time. I got the Boric Acid suppositories from a pharmacy. They were fairly expensive about 50 Dollars to be exact. It was so worth the money. I used one suppositorie every night for 14 days. I was rid of BV for 9 months. It was so worth it. It was so worth being over the paranoid feeling of someone else smelling me. Please try it. I have other issues with my vagina like heavy bleeding Blah Blah but I stayed away for quite some time.
I forgot I am also Diabetic so the Ph balance is pretty difficult to control when your sugars are not balanced all the time. BV has caused me a great deal of stress, thank God I'm in a relationship with a pretty understanding Man. Having to explain this issue has made me sad on many occasions, please try the Boric Acid it has been the Permanente solution for many women.
Yaayyy that's good to hear. 9 months free, that's awesome. I'll b buying more tmrrw. Thank you
