It's been about 4 months now and I kept on getting vaginitis even though I went to the gyno. She even said that once my period comes I will keep on getting it. I am so uncomfortable because it have a nasty smell and I am wondering if others are smelling it. I need help.
Thanks :-(

I'm so sick of being a woman. It never ends.
I get BV every few months and it causes pain as well as the horrible smell which makes me feel even more disgusting.
I get pain during ovulation and extremely painful periods every second month where I'm confined to bed.
On top of many other issues relating to depression and anxiety, this is pushing me over the edge.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only woman out there suffering, but to be honest, it's enough for me to want to stop waking up in the morning.
Why do we have to suffer so much.
I want it to end.

There are several pieces of info not included in either posts that may help.
1. Women need to know that Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is considered a sexually transmitted disease. As such unprotected sex with a partner puts you at risk for getting it if they have it as well.
2. If after treatment, as recommended by a doctor, you go back and have unprotected sexual intercourse with your partner. you stand the risk of once again acquiring BV.
3. The male partners may be symptomatic but most times are not. This means that looking for itching, odours, rashes, bumps etc. on your partner will almost always yield nothing; and therefore should not be used as a sign that your partner does not have this disease.
4. All the medications given to you by your doctor should be taken as prescribed and not shared.
5. You don't have to - but it's a good idea to stay away from sexual intercourse when being treated.
6. You may not have BV - it may be a mixed infection hiding behind your BV. Insist on a speculum examination.
7. Some women may have a recurrent endometriosis post menstruation depending on whether they have retrograde flow. (sleeping upright, during your period, can have it's benefits :-) ).
8. Good hygiene is important. I suggest:
a. Two rags for bathing; one for the body, another for the vagina
b. Sun-drying those two rags daily; or if weather does not permit when they dry - iron them.
c. Do super-drying. That is, use copious quantities of tissue to dry with after urinating to make sure you have removed much of
the urine (which can serve as a breeding ground)
d. Clean sexual toys after use and do not share.
e. If using a liner daily or feminine wipes, try another brand.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, also wanted to add a very important one:
9. Have an annual pap smear and don't stop getting them until told to not come annually.
10. Pain with vaginal discharge must be treated and investigated (whether by examination only or other procedures) immediately. The consequences of florid diseases can be far-reaching.
Take care
