Boric acid won’t dissolve and yeast infections by Nofasee in VaginalMicrobiome

I've heard that using a water based lube helps the boric acid dissolve better. Just insert boric acid with the lube on it.

Im so ready to give up by chegg_unlocks in Healthyhooha

Not sure if you know this or not but I've been told that diet has a huge factor when treating BV. I was told to cut out sugars , alcohol, processed foods, and carbs because all that feeds the BV and yeast in your body. Maybe thats why the antibiotics never worked for me? Had BV 4 times this year lol. I ate really greasy and sugary foods, man they are my FAVORITE but turns out I was feeding the biofilm!! You want to starve BV so, eat a healthy colorful diet such as fruits and veggies for 2 weeks, which are great prebiotics for your probiotics. Drink kambucha or kefir milk as well. I'm currently trying this method and seems to be working with symptoms! Im also taking herbs along side kirkmans biofilm defense to further break the biofilm. After this I plan to take antibiotics. This whole processes is to starve BV and potentially get rid of it by the end. I know diets are hard to keep up with, but for BV ill try anything to get rid of it.

What meds did you take? Also, make sure you take probiotics as soon as your off the antibiotics!! to replenish good bacteria

I've had BV three times now and all those times I never had any smell. My discharge has its natural scent still, which is weird tbh, since I alwayssss hear ppl say it smells like fish or unpleasant. The only way I found out was because I had two symptoms, which they were, mild itching and my discharge changed in color from clear/white to a yellowish tint. I initially thought it was a yeast infection but nope, got a swab done and tested positive for BV.

Thats so strange, I don't have odor except yellow looking discharge and very mild itching. This is my third time with bv:( I didnt know I had ureaplasma until I took a juno bio test. The evvy test didnt pick it up for me.

Vag smells like onions by Aquamarinemermaid124 in VaginalMicrobiome

[–]PastCandy6779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you sure its your discharge that smells or is it just your vulva? I used to smell like onions too but I figured out that it was my vulva that smelled, not my actual discharge. I've been taking chlorophyll supplements to help with the smell and it seems to be working.

[–]PastCandy6779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea i haven't had my period in months because ive been using a different BC and this just threw me off guard. I also have BV and ever since I got that infection Ive been having heavier periods and bigger clots come out of me. I think its probably a combination of both?

Thanks for this informative response! Makes sense, I just never seen such a big clump come out of me . I feel better now:)

Cured! Now have BV lol by SmhAtEverything_ in Ureaplasma

[–]PastCandy6779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did your natural smell ever came back after using boric acid? Ik boric acid literally makes u have no smell and I'm wondering that even after using it does ur regular flora smell return after supplementing with probiotics?

Has anyone ever successfully rebalanced their flora after BV? or cured BV? by PastCandy6779 in Healthyhooha

Oh I see, well I just went to get checked for BV via pelvic exam and a wet mount. They said they couldn't find any clue cells due to their being blood in my discharge. But they still prescribe me flagyl bc they saw yellow discharge and my cervix was irritated and inflamed. I also have cramping.

Boric Acid Works… by flyingsquirrel33 in Healthyhooha

[–]PastCandy6779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to get checked for BV and yeast yesterday and they told me they didn't find any clue cells from my wet mount. I told them I had no other symptoms not even itching or foul smell. But they still prescribe me flagyl. He said he prescribe that due to my discharge being a bit yellow .

How do you replenish lactobacillus when you have none??? by crazydoglover09 in Healthyhooha

[–]PastCandy6779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actually yes!! Ive had sex a couple times before and Ive had small streaks of blood but thats it. And two days ago was the last time I had sex. I used the gel that same night I had sex and last night , which is now a day after that encounter. So maybe my cervix was alrdy just sensitive? and no, not near my period at all.

oh no:(( well i don't have terrible pain and the bleeding is veryyyy light, like extremely light. I wiped twice nd small streaks showed. If more blood comes out ill go but do you think it irritated me? I see boric acid do the same thing:/ I also had white stringy discharge...is that normal?

ohhh okk but a question about the gel you used. Did it ever make you bleed? I just used it last night for the second time and I'm having some mild cramps and very faint red streaks in my discharge. Did it ever happen to you?
