I too have the same problem!! I have been with my husband for 14 years...while we used condoms in the beginning as our relationship grew longer we stopped...3 kids later...I am now seeing a change in what my body can tolerate. I am 32 and consider myself healthy, while I have a healthier diet than my husband, I just can't seem to get this pH balance on track. I have tried the yogurt eating the probiotic taking the the probiotic drinks the apple cider vinegar bath...the antibiotics the gels and they all seem to be a quick fix...everything is great I feel confident again have Intercourse with my husband and BAM back at the OBGYN

I'm having chronic bv (3rd time in 2 months) been on Clindamyacin, Flagyl and Cipro. Finished antibiotics and it came back immediately when I had sex. I am taking probiotics. I have also been trying to conceive for 7 months. The BV started about the time I weaned my son (I breastfed for 2+ years) I am concerned that the hormone change affected my ph?

BV is a bacteria infection. Hence the name bacterial vaginosis. Bacteria infections can occur with any change in your vaginal pH.. The vagina has bacteria already present but with changes in pH can cause the bacteria to multiply etc... It is not a STD but just use a condom!!

It's not the woman's fault. I too had the same problem over and over and took a tone of anti biotics, until my now ex finally got tested and it showed he had a bacteria, plus his semen was more acidic then the average men. My Gyno told me it was him causing it, he should be treated. Many men don't like to be tested and to be told it's their fault they rather blame it on us.

I think doctors and pharmacies just want to make money off the fact that this is a recurring infection. The fact is that BOTH partners MUST be treated for this at the same time and should not have any other unprotected sex outside of your relationship to prevent reinfection. If you need immediate results, I found out that inserting a Vitamin C tablet straight into the vagina will stop all symptoms immediately. I have found that using half a tablet will do the job but if you insert a whole tablet, it works faster but could burn for a little while then clears up. Use a pad since there will be discharge from the vitamin. The permanent cure is by getting both partners cured. SEPT2017

I struggled with this for several years. My gynecologist suggested I try rePHresh. I use it every time my husband and I have intercourse. Now I get BV or yeast infections much less frequently. Not sure if it will work for you, but I have been able to enjoy my husband with this under control. Good luck ladies, hope this helps you.

This is my 3rd time going to the doctors about BV, and i read and read so much about it, that it does say that both partners have to be treated, my doctor only gave me antibiotics the last 2 times, but she didn't prescribed my partner anything, well tomorrow when i go see my doctor, im gonna push and make ny doctor prescribe the same med to my bf since he's alsi her pt. I hope this works now.

Everybody saying it’s normal, and just to pull out/wear a condom..... I have been having unprotected, ejaculate inside me sex for 2 and a half years with the same person. I had BV and yeast infection which I went on antibiotics for a couple of months ago.. and now every time he comes inside me, without fail I get BV. How can we do that for 2 years and only now it’s affexting my pH?

Luke warm water and a rag is how you clean the inside of your vagina. Do not use soap to clean your lady bit it will burn and throw off you pH. Your vagina health matters, be safe, you're beautiful.

Guys can get BV also they can catch it from having unprotected sex with a infected person the bacteria from the infection get inside their penis. Then it is passed on back and forth if both partners are not treated.

I am having the same issues. It never stops. It's very embarrassing and even though I wash with PH balancing soap and use wipes as often as possible, I can smell my vagina. It's a very distinct scent and I worry that other people notice it too. I am dairy intolerant, so can't eat yogurt, and my daily probiotic isn't helping much. Any suggestions?

Hello Everyone,
I have been having chronic BV for almost the last 3 years. I recently moved from Ohio to Florida. My OBGYN back at home was misdiagnosing me. I thought I was just having recurring yeast infections but when I came to Florida I found out that this is a case of Bacteria Vaginosis!!! This BV only comes after sex or when my finances ejaculates inside of me. My OBGYN would just give me the antibiotics and this sh*t would keep coming back. Now he has me on boric acid which is a pill that you insert inside of the vagina. There seems as if there is no real cure for this. I have done everything... Eating the plain nasty yogort.... Drinking apple cider vinegar... Everything. I was actually doing great. I started taking Probiotics which the doctors dont tell you about. I was getting BV every month and then I went 3 months without getting it! Well it just came back. My fiance and I have had a lot of sex in the past two weeks and he has ejaculated in me a lot which is why I think I have it again. His semon just does not mix well with me. I am happy to know that I am not alone in this issue. I would recommend taking Raw probiotics. This does help. I am just going to tell my fiance that he can only ejaculate in my every once in a blue moon and we can't have as much sex because getting BV is annoying as hell especially because with all this medical research there is no cure
