Question 1

chronic bv. docs keep giving metro. works for a bit then comes back. tried probiotics. nothing works. can it be cured? no sex and still comes back.

Accepted Answer

A few things: You could ask to try oral Metronidazole or tindamax. You could try over the counter rephresh to assist with ph balancing. I have good success putting patients on nuvaring. One of its nice side effects is normalizing the ph balance of the vagina. This seems to prevent some cases of recurrent BV and yeast.

Question 2

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 3

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 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

what can one take for chronic bv?

Accepted Answer

You need a proper : Workup for my pts in boca raton, fl, I do a culture that can check for as many bacteria as i want on one culture as the exact cause of your BV may not be getting diagnosed and would also do an ultrasound to make sure discharge is not coming form the endometrium( chronic endometritis) and u may need an in office hysteroscopy and endo bx  and u should be taking a good multi vit and acidolphilus pill.

Question 7

is there a such thing as chronic bv?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bv and other vaginal infections are a sign that the vaginal pH is off.  When the pH becomes more basic, other bacteria that cause BV and yeast can grow and take over.  Avoid douching, high chlorine environments, etc.  I recommend probiotics for this--especially around the time of periods.  Natren (gy-na-tren) is great!  http://www.Drfinke.Com/2011/08/11/bacteria-and-your-body-its-a-good-thing/.

Question 8

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 9

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 10

what to do if i have chronic bv that wont go away?

Accepted Answer

What treatments?: There are two antibiotics approved for treatment of bv; have you tried both Clindamycin and metronidazole? If not, definitely discuss with your doctor about trying the other.  Also, the single dose of Metronidazole is no longer suggested, instead there is a now a 7 day course.
