BV

by imma_mess, May 23, 2007 12:00AM
OK A FEW WEEKS AGO I WAS TOLD I HAD BACTERIA VAGINOSIS. I TRIED TWO DIFFERENT PILLS AND I COULDNT TAKE THEM SO I USED THE GEL. WELL I WAS STUPID AND HAD SEX TWICE DURING TREATMENT BUT IT WAS PROTECTED. WELL AROUND DAY 7 OF TREATMENT, WHEN THE CLEAR WOULD COME OUT, SO WOULD YELLOWISH/GREENISH DISCHARGE. WELL AFTER I FIFNISHED TREATMENT I HAD NO DISCHARGE OR SMELL FOR A FEW DAYS. AFTER TREATMENT I HAD SEX TWICE ALSO BUT WAS PROTECTED. WELL ABOUT 4 TO 5 DAYS AFTER TREATMENT I STARTED TO GET DISCHARGE AND THE SMELL LIKE I HAD BEFROE THE TREATMENT AND IT ALMOST SEEMS WORST. WHEN I WAS TOLD I HAD BV I WAS ALSO INFECTED WITH A STD BUT IT WAS CURED. SO I AM REALLY CONFUSED RIGHT NOW AND REALLY NEED SOME HELP. IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO LET ME KNOW AND I WILL PROVIDE IT SO SOMEONE CAN BETTER HELP ME. I DO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT BUT ITS STILL 2 WEEKS AWAY.

Please don't use all caps when posting. It makes it really hard to read what you wrote.

BV can be difficult to treat. Recurrence is common.  You really shouldn't have had any sex until everything is all cleared up, wether it was protected sex or not.  If the bacterial overgrowth that is causing bv moves up into the uterus, you could become infertile or develope pelvic inflammatory disease.

Go back to the doc, tell him what's going on. Make sure to mention that you did have sex too.   Sometimes it just takes a longer course of treatment to get ride of it.  Don't play with your health. There will be plenty of time for sex in the future.
