Im now 17wks and it never went away i told midwife and it got so bad i went to the hospital and finally got treated for BV with prescription of vaginal gel fpr 5 days..iwent all this time w. It and my baby is fine so far
A Dr doesn't need to run test to determine if you have BV. If you have foul smelling discharge that how they know. The urine test strips they use at your appointments only test for Protein in the urine. If your urine has a foul smell, then they will test it for a UTI.
I've never seen a Dr prescribe oral Antibiotics for BV, unless it was really bad. The proven method is to prescribe Metro Gel, which is inserted directly in the Vagina. It should cure it within 5 days. For some it will take longer.
Ladies, if you have a foul smelling creamy discharge, please don't be afraid to ask for Metro Gel to cure it. I work with a lot of men and they truly talk about women with BV and how hard it is to get the Odor off their penises.
Don't have sex while you're using this treatment. I have very Candid and open conversations with my Dr.
I use summers eve ph balance wash but that still doesn't take the smell away fully....it's so embarrassing and my boyfriend is sweet enough not to say anything but I don't want him to think I'm like dirty or something lol
I get tested for stds regularly n I always come up clean but I have had this white thick discharge with a fishy smell for awhile and my doctor's keep telling me I'm fine obviously I'm not lol do they do std and bv testing separately? all they tell me is to eat yogurt they've never mentioned bv to me and I've brought up the smell and discharge several times....should I demand to have a bv test done?
Well my symptoms were just a lot of white creamy discharge that had a bad smell. My bf also thought that I was having sex with people behind his back but I wasn't and have never. I just hope it goes away because I've had it for a really long time and I could never figure out what it was. Glad I know what it is now. They just swab your vagina it's real quick and easy
I had the same thing and they put me in an antibiotic which made me pretty sick. You have to eat a lot of food before you take it but I wasn't told anything about a miscarriage. And I'm fine now and so is my baby. Don't worry. If you don't get rid of the bacterial vaginosis that could cause a lot more problems with the pregnancy.
Okay I'm going to ask about it my doctor do test my pee every visit so idk if that's there way of testing for it but I see a lot of you say you had no symptoms so just to be on the safe side I'm calling Monday morning
This is the first post I've seen about this since I've joined this site 2 weeks ago and this virus bv is the reason why i decided to join because I'm scared of losing my bubba I'm 17 weeks 5 days and i have the same virus and i didn't get it till i was pregnant i heard that it's a cause of second trimester miscarriages so i freaked out i can't take the antibiotics but I've been using the cream and it hasn't gone away I'm thinking about goin to the doctors again to see what else i can do i was ashamed when i found out i had this my doctor asked me if i had slept with more than one person n i flipped it I've been with my partner for the past 3 years were best friends and i love him to death and he was with at the doctors he now thinks i might had slept with someone behind his back n it's now caused conflict in our lives we both have never had an sti in our lives so how did i catch this infection it's ruining my love life
Take the medication, im sure they gave you Metro Gel which is harmless. I've witnessed women walk around with Horrible odors coming from their private areas. It gets rid of"Bacteria" not "Viruses". So if you don't get rid of the bacteria it can mutate and definitely get worst. Eventually the Bacteria will Migrate to your urinary tract and cause a UTI, and if you decide not to take the oral Antibiotics for the UTI, you'll eventually develope a Bladder infection.
Its a Chain reaction that is bound to happen. Try smelling your Vajayjay. It should not have any smell or odor.
BV is very common! It's a PH imbalance either from sperm, soaps, or hormone changes. The way they test is they swap your vagina. I have had it twice and never got tested by peeing in a cup. If you had it you would know the symptoms the smell is awful and it will hurt to pee. I was tested yet but I didn't have any signs and I hasn't switched partners recently which is a main cause of BV
I had it while tryin to conceive n they said it's prego save. Yes sometimes it clears up on its own but if u jus take the medicine it clears up fast. Its a fishy smell, itchy, discharge, gross so u will definitely kno
When ive had it I had the symptoms believe me you would kno theres always symptoms its a fishy smell n will have a thick white discharge the pills will work
Sometimes there are no symptoms. That's why I have the Dr check my urine every visit. Un treated infections can cause big problems. I didn't have any symptoms the last time I had bv, but sure enough. ..it was there. Better have them check your urine each visit to be safe.
What made you think you had this. What are symptoms
Yes definitely bring it up! It's basically a pap smear and she didn't even have to test she just looked I guess
How did you get tested for it I mean I keep seeing posts on here about it and my doctor hasn't brought it up to me at all so did you pee in a cup or did they test your blood or is it vaginal sorry for the questions just wanted to know if I should bring it up at my next appointment
How did she naturally clear it up?
yes take the meds! my friend had it and.she took it and antibiotics didn't work she had to clear it up naturally!
I had gotten bv at 9weeks & had a threatened miscarriage. So yeah get to those meds , now I'm 26wks w. A healthy baby.
Yeah that's what I meant I think I just worded it wrong.
The bv can cause miscarriage not the antibiotics to clear it up
No no the BV itself could cause miscarriage not the meds
They said it would cause misscarage if not treated or if you take the meds?
