A member asked:

I have bv. can a weird prickling and almost stinging sensation like, inside, the pelvis as well as occasionally around vagina be a symptom? seems very different from what i've read online. using prebiotic suppositories 2x/day that seem to help.

Bacterial vaginosis: BV itself is not a likely cause of these symptoms. However, anxiety over your infection or symptoms could be magnifying trivial symptoms or normal body sensations that otherwise you would ignore or perhaps not even notice. But see your doctor if they continue. I hope the probiotic helps, but don't expect miracles: antibiotic treatment (e.g. metronidazole) usually is necessary. Good luck.
