Question 1

how to get rid of bv for good?

Accepted Answer

Hard to do.: Normal vaginal ph is 4.0 & unfortunately for women, normal ph of menstrual blood is 7.4 & the ph of semen is 8.0. The vagina is warm, wet & dark & raising the ph invites bacterial overgrowth. The best thing to avoid overgrowth is to reset the vaginal ph to 4 weekly using rephresh, plain yogurt douching or recolonizataion of lactobacilli which fight off bacterial overgrowth.

Question 3

how could i get rid of bv?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic: An antibiotic would treat it. See a physician.

Question 4

a  natural to get rid of bv?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, none known: Unfortunately, no "natural" treatments have been shown to help BV. Probiotics make sense in theory, and there is a lot of folklore about yogurt and other dairy products, but they rarely help. You'll need science-based medical treatment, usually metronidazole or tinidazole. Also need tests for other STDs, esp. chlamydia and gonorrhea, which often go along with BV. See your doctor. Good luck.

Question 7

how do i get rid of bv? i have been struggling with it for almost four years

Accepted Answer

See below: Bv is a synergistic infection involving gardnerella 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. Recurrent disease is related to colonization of your sex partner, inconsistant condom use and is halved with estrogen contraceptives.

Question 8

what's a home remedy to get rid of bv?

Accepted Answer

A couple: I've had patients tell me a few homeopathic remedies.  One patient told me she put plain yogurt on an OB tampon and put it in the vagina.  She swore it cured every time.  I've head of home made vinegar douches as well.  There are vaginal probiotics (luvena is an example) that patients are using as well.  The idea being to re-populate the vagina with lactobaccilli to overwhelm the BV bacteria.

Question 9

what is the best treatment i need to take to get rid of bv?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial Vaginosis: the best treatment is antibiotics given by your physician after evaluation and diagnosis that this is what you have.

Question 10

why can't i get rid of bv? and would they have told me if it were trich?

Accepted Answer

Difficult problem...: Recurrent or persistent BV is common, often very frustrating. Trichomonas causes similar symptoms and odor but responds to same antibiotics as BV (e.g. metronidazole), so probably not the problem. Preventive Rx may help, e.g. MetroGel® (expensive) or boric acid vaginal capsules (cheap). If your doc isn&#x27;t familiar with these options, see a gyn with special interest in infectious diseases.
