For anyone that has suffered with reoccuring BV knows how difficult it can be to treat. Many womenWomen's way have to turned from antibiotics to natural remdies when the antibiotics don't seem to work. A new study shows a link between Vitamin D and BV.
I found this interesting since I suffer from reoccuring BV. I have taken oral metronidazoleMetronidazole Metronidazole benzoate Metronidazole topical Metronidazole vaginal three times and this past time broke out in hives just for the BV to return within a week after finishing the medicine. I think this is a problems that needs to be looked into my the medical field. Anyways I thought I would let others know. Google Vitamin D insufficiency and BV.
I would get infections and my doctor kept telling me it was BV, i would at some points get one each month. I learned since that they just have a test that test for bacteria and if it is positive they label it BV. Doctors dont treat problems they treat symptoms. When they give you the antibiotics it is just to take care of the syptoms (symptoms) they are not curing the problem.
I have tried raspberry tea, it works very well, but i always for get to make it so i looked for something else.
I then found Ionized alkiline water, (it was not actually BV it was that my body was to acidic and so my own body fluids would cause syptoms (symptoms) like the bacteria, left long enough and you do end up in an infection, but then again the doctor just treats the syptom (symptom) and does not attack your problem) the water took care of 90% of the so called BV problem. It is heaven in a gallon jug.
I went the back and forth with the doctors on the BV for 10 years, so i have spent alot of money at the doctors and on meds, when for me it helped to jsut changed the water i was drinking. I know that there are other natural remedies but this is what i have tried. All the man made medications are not good in your system and can cause other problems
I hope i have helped some, i totally know what you are going thru
I have been reading up on BV and have tried to find some home remedies for this. I found a site that says you are guaranteed odour free in 3 days, but you have to buy the book. I was wondering if anybody knows what these steps are. i cant afford this book and i need help!
