Question 1

can bv be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bv  (bacterial vaginosis) can be cured.  One can have a resistant case and require further evaluation and treatment and one can get re-infected.  It can be cured, however.

Question 2

can bv be cured at home? i have it, but do not have money for antibiotics.

Accepted Answer

No: But Metronidazole should be very cheap , see if your doctor can prescribe that pill as that is the generic name, it works often, not always.

Question 3

how to cure bv ?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: First you need antibiotics: usually Metronidazole or Clindamycin prescribed by your doctor. Then prevent recurrence by managing your stress and not douching.

Question 4

can bv cure on its own?

Accepted Answer

BV spontaneous cure?: I would assume that if a woman had a very few numbers of BV in her vagina (which are there in small amounts), that they are already held in check by the good bacteria, and the woman wouldn't have any symptoms.  Once she has significant numbers of the bacteria, she'll have symptoms and thus need rx treatment.

Question 5

how can i quickly cure bv?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics either: Oral or vaginal, please see your gyn for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 6

how can i quickly cure bv naturally?

Accepted Answer

No evidence: Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the ph of the vagina becomes imbalanced (from menstrual bleeding and semen for instance) and raises above 4.5-5.0. Anecdotal evidence suggests that apple cider vinegar used in a douche may help. In my experience however, it usually takes an intravaginal antibiotic to completely clear BV followed by vaginal ph maintenance.

Question 7

i want to know what is bv and how do i cure it ?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: BV represent bacterial vaginosis which is a vaginal infection that is often caused by gardnerella vaginalis which can be treated with flagyl. KIndly see your doctor for appropriate diagnosis before treatment.

Question 8

does iodine cure bv?

Accepted Answer

No: Bacterial vaginosis is a synergistic infection involving gardnerella vaginalis and a number of other bacteria. It is treated with Metronidazole oral or intravaginal treatment. Tinidazole and Clindamycin are alternatives. Oral and intravaginal probiotics containing lactobacilli can help. Per your info. You are taking flagyl. Iodine does not treat bv.

Question 9

can rephresh cure bv?

Accepted Answer

No: It is a feminine hygiene product that can help with symptoms but it is not a cure for bacterial vaginosis.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Tinidazole: The recommended dose in non-pregnant women is  2 g orally once daily for 2 days taken with food or a 1 g oral dose once daily for 5 days taken with food. The use of tinidazole in pregnant patients has not been studied for bacterial vaginosis. Do not drink alcohol up to 24-48 hrs after last dose.
