Everything she said was absolutely true. 5 years ago, my provider told me I was pre-diabetic. I changed my eating habits to whole organic foods, more water, less meat, exercise probiotics, prayer, I wore no panties, and I cleaned and dried myself well after every urination and shower. I would also make my own wipes with water, tea tre oil and apple cider vinegar. Oh and fabric softners and detergents can be irritating to the V. Always see your provider and never make a concoction without consulting with a professional. I'm here because I reverted back to my old ways and needed a reminder to never give up the fight to STAY healthy.
So glad you found this video helpful Neiasha!

Isn’t it so sad that recurrent bv is so common and even with how medically advanced we are, no one has found something that consistently treats it indefinitely? I had recurrent bv that I swear got worse with all the antibiotics they gave me. I finally saw a naturopathic who healed me from the inside out and I was clear for a whole year! Then I became pregnant and now it’s back..
Boy is she right about not douching, I did that one time for BV and it made it much worse!!
I love the aim of your channel. So useful 💗
Thank you Stacey!
Finally...some helpful straightforward information. Thank you.
really helpful. I have been feeling so crazy for years, when I get recurring yeast infections, and now recently BV. it's such an inconvenience. finally will be trying vaginal probiotics per your, and a close friend's recommendation.
how’s that gone for you? Xx
sugar is a trigger even the tiniest alcohol drink can cause a flare up
Pre-period perimenopause is also a reason for reoccurring yeast infections. I am currently eating greek yoghurt 3 times daily for my probiotic intake. It usually works with dousing but due to diabetes and being perimenopausal at the same time, it's been quite aggressive. The yeast infection subsides when my period does. I am diabetic. I have noticed flare ups shortly after eating small amounts of sugar. I have stopped smoking which is also helping. My husband eats a lot of bread. Which has crept back into the house recently. A long with my elderly neighbours baking with love. I have been eating a lot more red meat, along with more carbs instead of more greens. Which will cause PH levels to be unbalanced. Keto is the ideal diet.
Could you do a video on how to properly wash our downstairs, with props obviously. I’ve seen so many different people referring to the “outside” and “inside” as different areas and as a 27 year old with 3 kids - IM CONFUSED! Every one looks different downstairs and the video would help, thanks!
You're so gorgeous! 😭
Thanks for the very helpful video too!
Thank you!
Thank you for talking about gut health, a healthy HooHa does indeed start in the gut microbiome. Since taking a daily probiotic supplement every day I have been completely clean and fresh.
Constant vaginal infections & uti’s is so annoying ! It’s frustrating and exhausting!
Same here n medication not wrking
So trueeee.. it really affectung the bladder indeed! I ak suffer from This too, any luck With treating This? Pls share here 🙏🏻🙏🏻
So BV (bacterial vaginosis) is basically a disruption of the pH balance of the vagina. Its not actually an infection, per se, although it can come from one for sure. Some of the symptoms are a burning sensation, itching, foul smelling discharge, and pain during intercourse.
Here are my thoughts. Burning means too acidic. To cure BV once and for all, you must find your unique causes. What in your lifestyle is making you and/or your vagina acidic?
Some common ones:
Smoking (#1)
Diabetes or pre diabetes
Too acidic diet (don't go too alkaline though, we need acidity and there are problems with a too alkaline vagina too!). Check urine pH to see if your diet is too acidic or alkaline. It should be right in the middle. Urine pH is only for diet though, yall!
Too much exercise
Not enough exercise
I think there's a theme here. The actual cure for BV and most illnesses and diseases is quite simple and has the same theme throughout every single disease process. Balance.
Are you vegan? Thats too alkaline. Are you a heavy meat eater or carnivore? Thats too acidic.
Are you a smoker? Too acidic.
Too much sugar? Acidic.
Not enough sugar? Alkaline.
The buddhist monks had it right, life is about balance. Find out what you're doing too much or too little of and correct it.
I really like this a lot. Straight to the point you’ve made me consider some things
I have been getting yeast infection since a child (when I got my period) regularly till now. My diet changed from omnivore to plant based but still get it. I took probiotics for vag balance 😅 still no help. Sometimes I’m burning so bad after being with my husband. Could it be BV also? I do plan on seeing female doctor about this.
Nope it's a vitamin d deficiency
@@jackieliz6809not the only cause.
@@youcansoften me and my friend had it for nearly 20 years
I was infertile bC sperm would just die in the acidity it was hell
We got our vitamin D levels in the high normal n it's been gone for a year n I finally got pregnsnt and carried to term
Trust me it is the cause
Vitamin D functions as a hormone in our bodies
I tried every antibiotic over 20 yrs and it aouks be right back
I am trying to help these womwn
Yes! You’re awesome my girl! Ugh so annoying constantly being told antibiotics is the only way to fix this. Love you videos btw !
Did it work ?
What did you do to get rid of yours, mine goes and comes.
they dont work simply because we're becoming resistant to it. the majority of us eat antibiotics every day from the animal products. why would the antibiotics they prescribe us *actually* work?
I’ve literally tried everything and nothing has helped. It keeps coming back and I feel so uncomfortable. I don’t know what else to do at this point 😔
Have you tried boric acid suppositories? Nothing worked for me too, not even probiotics and I even changed my diet but the only thing that helped me with the pain was boric acid. I’ve also booked a Pap smear just to check in case something else is effecting it!
SAME HERE...
@@katestevens5857 yes I’ve tried 2 different brands. Didn’t help one bit. I with my doctors office and she told me to try VH Essentials suppository. I also purchased acidophilus. So we’ll see how this goes. But it’s that time of the month. So soon as it goes off. I’ll give you an update
@@Iamsheveka the first night it worked for me but after the second night my symptoms for so bad to the point that I ended up going to the hospital and stayed all night. The doctors were so confused with that’s happening with me and then the gynaecologists were a little confused too so all they was a culture test on me to see if it’s a different strain of yeast and I’ll see what they find. Have you ever heard of cytolyctic vaginosis? It has very similar symptoms to thrush and no one has mentioned it to me before until I spoke to a lady who had it mistaken as recurrent thrush for years.
@@katestevens5857 try “ the killer” bacterial vaginosis vaginal suppositories they helped me the first time I took it🥰
Thank you for the great information! How about getting a new exercise routine? Can increase in physical activity cause yeast?
Thanks for teaching !
how do I know what probiotic to use?
Seems like the first time you get bv and take the antibiotics you’re doomed. I am 31 and have been having recurrent infections since I was 19. I have literally tried every and anything you ladies would name. I’ve been on a journey to restore and maintain a healthy ph.
do you eat animal products? a lot of them, not all of them contain antibiotics to keep the animals from getting sick. in that case, we're pretty much doped up on it. antibiotics kill the good bacteria in the vagina, along with the bad. and if its constantly in our blood, our BV will continue to come back until we detox ourselves and stop eating those things
@@jazzlynnicole1906 I hadn’t thought of that. Yes I eat a lot of chicken breast. Now I have to try to go vegan.
Try changing your diet I was eating alot of junk food eating alot of things that had sugar in it so u changed my diet I ate more veggies and more fruits and I ate cashews nuts unsalted and I never seen the bv or yeast came back until when I Fell off track and went back to my bad eating habits so diet plays a big part
@@britneynelson114 thank u
Drink kombucha. Trilogy is good. Make sure it has lactobacillus in it. Also, kefir and Greek yogurt. Drink one of those daily. In addition to that you can get probiotic pills made for women. Whatever you choose to take make sure it has probiotic called lactobacillus. Even better if they have listed its strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
I just put myself on a diet because of bv. It was hurting so bad last night. I started to go out to get more sun because I lack vitamin d too. My next appointment is Wednesday and I hope I get things figured out
I have been telling EVERYONE to do a vegan diet for most of the week ( at least 5 days). It has been a lifesaver for me! Dont eat the began junk food. Just buy some fruits and veg, and watch youtube to find good ways to make them.
did the vegan diet get tid of your bv?!@@QuatMan
Whole Food Plant Based Diet cleared me right up! Also almost eliminated armpit smell!
What u mean plant based diet
meaning no animals or products that are created from animals and their excrements shall enter your mouth
Dude thats too alkaline. Sure, BV is acidic, but there are issues with too alkaline. You probably were doing something else that was too acidic in your life and the alkalinity of a plant based diet got you back in balance. This kind of diet will lead to more issues down the road though. Careful. You must find what you are doing that is too acidic. Stress is acidic, by the way. Check how your whole body feels. Too acidic and you feel burning, heat. Too alkaline and you feel ungrounded, light, and cold.
Todah for your insight but he/she is right from the Genesis we were created to be fruitarian and vegetarian so following that diet and life will be longer and your body will do exactly what is was created to do.
Honey pot brand thoughts? And can u tell me what probiotic you personally use ?? And how many strains minimum. Antibiotics are annoying because then it gives me yeast overgrowth! It’s annoying ! Thanks for this video
Drink cold kumbachi tea from Walmart three times a week. Also add a daily probiotics like Femdophilis. Make sure it’s cold. Get a prescription for Vitamin D from doctor as well as a multivitamin. Drink warm lemon water with honey daily or cranberry juice.
I keep getting the same boils and itch that I experience after using a public toilet I feel so tired if it coming back again and again but I have to admit I wear trousers more often than I've ever done so could that be the issue? Should I no wear pants anymore ?
May I ask if its okay to use menstrual cup if you have yeast infection as of the moment?
Hi I use cotton non scented panty liners, I change every few hours to help stop moisture build up down there. Is this a good idea or making it worse?
Hi Alana, it may be making things worse. At the least, switching to organic cotton panty liners may help.
I notice when I wear panty liners it irritates it more I would stick to cotton underwear
Hi po. I hope you see this.. Thank you for sharing thoose tips po.. I've been experiencing this kind of infection.. I hope this is not rare 😥😥
I am currently having it and no matter what I use especially antibiotics it still comes back. I am aware of it when I'm at work and it really is affecting my social life. As it smells bad and I'm scared if someone sits next to me or walking pass them.
Find out what is out of balance in your life and correct it. You have too much acidity in your body and must find the cause of that acidity.
Please try raw garlic suppository in vaginal canal. Its anti fungal and anti viral. It helps cure BV and yeast infections.
U need to take 10,000 vitamin D for 2 weeks and folic acid 800mgu and probitic. It'll be gone in a week I promise. It's a vitamin D deficiency
I had. It for 16 years and cured it for good and am now pregnant
@@jackieliz6809not everyone has a vitamin D deficiency. in fact, it’s super rare cause of bv
Hello! Do you think boric acid or probiotic suppositories after sex will help prevent yeast infections due to the pH imbalance?
My BV started almost 2 years ago out of nowhere; nothing changed. After so many antibiotics several doctors and NP’s suggested boric acid suppositories. I was hesitant at first, but relented out of desperation. Why did I wait so long??? I haven’t had a single bout of BV since I started using the boric acid!!! Can’t live without them!
Hi, how long do you use them for? I'm on day 7 right now but I tested my PH and it's still higher than 4.5. I will do the full 14 days. Hoping this works for me like it did for you!
And that’s the bigger problem that you can’t live without them; we need to find something that cures bv. Not use things that we have to use forever to tame it.
@@Kenken77733 Agreed that we need a cure. However, we don’t currently have one. So I think people are looking for something to take care of it until a cure is found.
@@RURudd once you find something that’s taking your mind off it you usually stop looking for things to cure it; in the mean time you’re damaging your insides by taking things like boric acid
HOW DO U TREAT BV DURING PREGNANCY NATURALLY ?????? MEDS DONT WORK
It sucks, my diet is so restricted because of this, no sugar, no carbs, at least minimal and the healthy kind but if I eat too much of this my BV stays. I’m envious of the ppl who can eat whatever they want and have no problems/symptoms, I can’t do antibiotics, dealt with major gut problems, I feel like for me the only option is eat a clean balanced diet of salmon, broccoli and brown rice and foods like that. 😒😞 I did buy an infrared sauna off Amazon which helps a lot but I have to do it like everyday if I want to eat the delicious sugar and carbs. 🤦🏽♀️ I’m a mess, I hate BV, definitely affected my sex life.
So sorry Marisa. Have you ever done any tests looking at your gut like organic acid tests or stool tests? These could be very helpful to further help you and determine supplements that could help prevent your recurrent BV.
@@TheLadysGuide Thank you for replying 😊 I’ve heard of stool tests but I’ve heard of so many different kinds of stool tests it would be hard to test for which kind. What is organic acid tests? I’ve never heard of that. I did take a blood food allergy test with my holistic doctor and I scored high in foods that I need to avoid: ALL dairy, gluten, wheat, egg whites, papaya, ginger, avocado and pineapple. 😭
@Marisa Bond, you're not alone, your experience is almost identical to mine. I have systemic candidiasis that was diagnosed by a holistic doctor, but I can't afford all the antifungals, very expensive. Like you, I'm jealous of others who can eat whatever they want, it sucks having this.
@@bluevictory1010 I’m sorry you’re going through the same thing as me. I went to a holistic doctor too, my blood tests came back high with Candida overgrowth as well. She has me on some of her stuff but like I said what helps keep it under control and to where I can have a yummy sweet starbucks drink or ice cream is my infrared sauna, I bought it off Amazon for $200, well worth the investment and I can always tell when the Candida is high/BV when I start having gut problems, burping too much, side pains and I feel slightly more wet down there in the lady parts, idk what it does but my infrared heals something in my gut and down there but like I said I have to stick to it just about every day or every other day. What I really need to do is give up the yummy carbs/sugar but so hard.
I can't still believe that I got rid of my vaginal infection through herbal treatment from DR ALUDA on youtube who I met through the internet, I actually couldn't believe it at first because it sounded impossible to me knowing how far I have gone just to get rid of it. All thanks to you sir...
I had 4 yeast infections in about three months and nothing worked for but then all of a sudden the pain went away (the thrush pain) and a new pain came, more of an inflamed kind of pain. I got tested for thrush at the hospital and it came back negative and also got tested again at the gynaecologist and it came back negative. She said I could have a skin condition and am waiting for a prescription from her to get some cream for it. She believes it isn’t a bacterial infection but more of a inflammatory infection.
Hi Kate, I'm sorry to hear this! Sometimes recurrent yeast infections can alter the vaginal tissue leading to more chronic inflammation. Good luck on your healing journey.
Woaw. I need to check up with the doctor too on this.
@@missd5878 I have a feeling it is vulvodynia and have already booked an appointment and flights to see a specialist as there’s none where I live who specialise in vulvar pain so I hope I can get some answers there !!!! I wish you the best as well 🤍
@@katestevens5857 hi Kate, how did you overcome this?
So I unfortunately had four back to back yeast infection after my first one ever. I am treating it at home. Also, I been ttc for almost a year. After I ovulated I got a yeast infection, and I had to medicate. Does that effect implantation??
Sorry to hear this Tania. Treating yeast will not impact implantation. Having a thorough evaluation to check your hormones and gut health would be best to help reduce your frequent yeast infections and help with conceiving.
I thought i am the only one in this world that gets always a yeast infection on my vulva especially when ovulating. Alredy one year has passed and still have the same freaking problem. Been to three different gynecologist, nothing has helped or they don't know they're job. What i mostly do, when i ovulate and my vulva itches , i take a shower and clean my vagina with warm water and that helps. But I don't find this normal that when ovulation it always occurs a yeast infection. I think there is a bacteria in my Ovulation.
Update, I’ve gotten my iud taken out last week and I’ve been taking acidophilus for about 2 weeks and still no change. I literally cried to my gyn because it’s become so uncomfortable and noticeable that my husband has asked me twice am I cheating on him. She told me that some ppl are just more prone to it but I am not accepting that. I will not stop until I find a way to get rid of this for good. It definitely has effected my sex life and something has to give. It’s gotten to a point where I don’t even want to have sex anymore because I’m afraid my husband will smell me. It’s so depressing 😔. Hoped with my IUD coming out I’ll see some change. I’ll update you all in a month. But if I’m cured before then I’ll update you then
hey there, I am really sorry for you, I keep getting this thing as well and I really get how you feel. Hope you will get rid of this in a month, keep us updated!
I’m sorry this is happening for you Tia. You may have a gut imbalance that could be causing this and need more than acidophilus. I recommend working with a functional medicine practitioner to get to the root cause.
I never had issues until I had the IUD! Got it taken out 4 years ago and I still can’t get rid of BV!!!! Ughhhhhhh!!!!!
@@beeyah44 if i can ask how is ur sex life because im struggling with bv too and im scared ill never be able to have sex again because it will be painful and i will smell :(
@@shamiyar2821 crying me too ..I can't have sex with out worrying about it coming back . I really enjoy sex .
Thank u for this 💜
any recommendation on soap? ty
I've had 4 back to back . My body is exhausted at this point i can't even sleep 😪
me too!! I’ve been to 5 doctors and the medication only worked temporarily and now I’m constantly suffering! You’re not alone :(
I'm so sorry to hear this Katie! There could be a hormonal imbalance going on triggering this as well. Feel free to book a free discovery call to learn more about how you can reduce your recurrent infections.
@@katestevens5857 So sorry to hear this Kate! I frequently work with my clients who are not getting relief from prescription medications. Feel free to schedule a free discovery call with me to learn more about identifying the trigger to your recurrent infections.
Oregano oil worked for me after 8 months of recurring infection
@@ikaramelya do you have to apply it often for it to stop coming back? How long has it been since an infection?
i struggle with this. when i shave i’m very careful with water & shaving foam but i feel like it affects it
Yes this can effect it. Best to use a gentle consented shaving foam or try to avoid the foam all together.
I had to start using baby shampoo to shave down there and it was great. After a few years it started to make me get a yeast infection too if the tiniest dot of it touched the vulva for 1 second, so I had/have to be very careful to keep it only 100% on the outside
Boric acid suppositers arenot available in my country. Only boric acid powder. How can i use w powder?
I use boric acid capsules and it seems to treat BV and thrush only while I'm using them, but about 2 days after I stop using the capsules... it returns. So it's terrifying that I'm basically stuck doing this. Also I have an IUD so I'm not sure if that triggers it. Who knows at this point
Same here they aren’t working for me
I also have an IUD and yeah it causes infections. My gynecologist gave me medicine nothing helped. In fact, made it worse smh. Idk anymore what to use. I have done the 7 day and 1 day treatment. Used boric acid too.
I got my IUD taken out because of the constant BV I would get. As soon as I got the IUD out the BV infections stopped.
Hey can u just send me the link of those capsule
I have an IUD too and this is my second time with BV.. it's just so annoying.
Thank you for this !!!!!
Does boric acid works for gardnella? i used metronidazole many times it’s not working and i still feel urgent pee :(
Boric acid suppositories worked for me really well . I tell all my friends about it & it has worked for them too

So should i not use vagisil or summers eve wash just outside my vagina?I started using the vagisil wash cause one of them said it had healthy bacteria and also ph balanced
Hi Briar, correct no feminine hygiene products, just water 😊
Or dove sensitive bar soap works well and does not irritate you
Thanks for this video. Recurring BV is so depressing. I have been dealing with it for the past year and it started after I had a vaginal ultrasound. I feel like the ultrasound caused it somehow. I had NEVER had this issue before that. Curious if anyone else started getting BV after having one?.... =(
same!
omg me tooooooooo
Omggg that’s crazy. I started having problems after I got an ultrasound last year in July. So it’s been almost a year since my ph been off Me knowing my natural smell I’ve definitely been depressed knowing I don’t smell like myself.
i feel this after having a pap but ive also had a ultrasound 😩
i’ve had a pap and started having problems
Thank you very much.
My balance is off bc I took antibiotics. I’ve been taking probiotics but when I don’t take it, it comes back. The antibiotics killed the good/bad bacteria. Will my balance ever get back to normal? I took it back in jan and I still haven’t got back to pre-antibiotic state
Hi Hope, many other factors can contribute with pH balance including your gut health, the foods you currently eat or don't eat enough of, and a good quality probiotic. It's absolutely possible to get it back to normal but it may take multiple approaches to get there. Working with a practitioner in functional medicine can be helpful to address this.
Drink probiotics drinks with the probiotics pill. Eat a low sugar diet.
Ive tried antibiotics, twice, not working. Thoughts on probiotics or boric acid supositories? Willing to try anything at this point
How are you
Last year i struggled with bv. I had it 4 times. All year long! I would go to th3 doctor's get put on antibiotics would go away then comw back within 2 or 3 month's and it was all over again get put on mlre antibiotics it was a cycle and i decided to juat stop. It wasnt healthy for me to be on antibiotics all the time. I started using probiotics, which helped with my ph balance, i wasn't getting the discharge, but would still get the odor here and there. It was a struggle. Then i noticed i would only get it in certain environments, which was so weird. Then it just stopped, but now i just got it again and am thinking about it. Now im wondering if its my diet. Definitely has been a struggle that came out of nowhere for me.
I don't use perfume because I am butch but I use old spice deodorant body spray. Should I stop? I get lots of yeast infections. I usually spray my inner thighs with old spice.
Def stop in my opinion
I am sick of this even them giving me a new antibiotics I never took for bacterial vaginitis I am still getting it again and again I’m convience the antibiotics fr work I do not even want to go back tit he clinic so embarrassed!!!! Need help and advice what helped , what you use down there to clean it . 😪I changed my soaps and still ugh .
If you can‘t or don‘t want to use a menstrual cup: Reusable organic cotton pads would also be an alternative. Cheaper on the long run and very comfortable. (Don‘t feel dry or itchy like the reusable ones I know). I wash out the blood with cold water after use and then put it in a whashing machine at 140 F/ 60 C with the other clothes.
I need to cut down on sugar.
I have tried literally every treatment and home remedy. Nothing works long term. I am EXTREMELY prone to things getting unbalanced. I have been dealing with this for several years and I’m over it! I don’t even use tampons or wear sexy underwear because it messes me up completely. Any advice??
So sorry to hear this Tara! You are not alone! Have you tried switching to a menstrual cup?
Try “The killer” vaginal suppository capsules 🥰they work
Vegan diet.
@@TheLadysGuide What can help apart from these things you advice. Like gel etc. I don’t do tablets!!!
Use unscented soap like dove and unscented wash detergent. Wash all under garments in hot water and bleach. Eat low carb low sugar diet. Drink probiotics drink with a probiotics supplement daily.
Hi I hope I'm not too late as this video was made 2 years ago but I am now at the end of my tether. For 10 whole years every single night without fail I have had the most diabolical and what I can only call evil itching all around the outer labia..in the deepest crevices of my outer vagina. I have lychan planus on my tongue, so I am wondering if this could also be lychan planus? I know I can feel all sorts of bumps and cuts and blisters all around my out of vagina but I am too embarrassed to go to the doctor. It has been 10 years of hell and I can't stand it anymore. Every single morning and every single night I have to burn myself with boiling hot water just to numb the pain of the itching and it actually gives me about 5 hours relief followed by plenty of coconut oil on the Itchy area. I can usually smell and ammonia smell and I do not know what to do or who to turn to please can you help me? 😢
Hey. Yar you should really go and see a gynaecologist immediately. I can't imagine going 10 whole years with this condition just because u are embarrassed. Doctors read and start practice beacuse it's their work to treat conditions related to us. What are u embarrassed about. You might go to a female gynaecologist who's non-judgemental about ur sexual preferences. There are a no. of reviews online if u wanna find a gynae online
Mix Garlic, tea tree oil and virgin olive oil on pad at night will help thrush. Apple cider vinegar in water, and a probiotic daily. Suffered for years and the pad with those ingredient’s will help.. Do it for 3-7 days you can do it before sleep it does work.
Only on the pad ? It works to heal it or to help the symptoms?
@@youcansoften I found it helped and symptoms went away along with changing diet so try and introduce sauerkraut or any fermented foods which will help the gut. I also do a fast if I fall off the wagon.
Eventually I Want to get a menstrual cup :) but in the meanwhile What is best for avoiding yeast infections ....organic coton tampons or organic coton pads ?
Hi Lindsey, there are so many brands now that offer organic cotton pads. I really like Real.
Thank you for the suggestion :) I thought maybe tampons would have Been best But Now I know :)
I struggle with recurring BV and yeast infection, its very stressful.
I got cured from bacteria varginosis by doctor Eromon on UA-cam with his Herbal 🦠💯product. I highly recommend him. .. ..
You okay now?
My boyfriend causes it, how do i explain that i don’t want to have sex?
You may have to see if you both can get treated . He may be offended but it’s for the benefit of the both of you. Then I’ll keep on taking probiotics from there. Good luck
I get waxed and I’m starting to think that I’m getting BV from getting waxed… my husband is away right now so it’s not due to sex or anything like that for that matter.
What causes recurrent infection
Hi Anita, many things can such as gut imbalance, scented soaps, irritants from tampons/pads/condoms/spermicide, and sex.
Quick question 🙋🏾♀️. I’ve only experienced Bv when I am pregnant. When I gave birth to my first son it went away darn near over night. I was taking probiotics, antibiotics, and a vaginal cream my Doctor gave me. ( not all at the same time) now early in my 2nd pregnancy and it came back as soon I learned about being pregnant. It’s very frustrating because none of those things I’ve listed worked. Whether they give me a 7 days pill schedule, or 14 day. Or use this cream until you feel no more. Or eat this. Don’t eat that. It’s not going away. I’ve worn pads to catch the discharge so that I get a clean break. Doesn’t work. I’ve soaked in baking soda and apple cider vinegar for the itch. Doesn’t work. I need actual solutions. And cannot find any 😔😔😔
Ask your doctor if taking oregano oil diluted with olive oil is safe for pregnant women if it is then that’s the best thing I’ve tried to cure my bv.
Bath in sea salt, oatmeal bath and hydrogen peroxide with tea tree oil
i had this for like 15 years I don't have hope anymore
@@6699s I heard yeast infection can affect pregnancy am so confused cos I honestly don’t know if that’s the reason I haven’t been able to conceive
I’m so scared I’m almost 16 weeks they make it seems like you can’t have a full term pregnancy while with bv . Just praying I had antibiotics it came back took metrizole gel it came back ! It’s just stressful
i’ve had recurring bv for 5 years & it all started when i got my period. i’m so sad atp, literally nothing works/lasts forever. i just wanna be a normal girl. this makes me never wanna get intimate with anyone.
I think I have this:( when I took a shower I looked “inside”and I saw dark yellowish light brown sticky stuff :(
@@_pacific_bleu_1601 oh wow! i’ve never had that but how long have you had that & do you still have it? i cured mine & im so happy, hopefully if you tell me i could help you too!
@@user-tx8hm3tu5h ig it started yesterday? The burns and itching yesterday so I took a shower and had a look and that’s what I found.. and this usually happens couple days before my period? Maybe that’s why? And today there are a couple of burns aswell
Oh and I kinda wasn’t sticky ig it had a bad smell to it tho
@@user-tx8hm3tu5hI my underwear gets wet .. it could be pee because I’m an idiot and I always do it from back to front and not front to back - maybe that’s what’s causing it
menstrual cups are the goattttt
Recommend a non scented soap
yes absolutely!
Great advice
How are we supposed to shave without soap, though? 🤔
Special thanks to Dr Ben Uda on UA-cam channel who cured me with his herbal medicine from HPV virus I never believed that HPV virus would have a cure after so many treatment God bless Dr Ben Uda.

you can use emollient creams which are much better than soap, they are moisturising and don’t cause ph imbalances.
Buy a soap without fragrance 🤦🏻♀️
Been in a relationship for a few years and it’s reoccurring it’s the worst thing ever I just don’t know what to do anymore and doctors are NO help they just want to give antibiotics 🤮
I'm sorry to hear this! Checking your gut health and supporting with specific supplements can be helpful for you.
@@TheLadysGuide how does someone check their gut health?
@@user-wn5zd3mn9u By working with a functional medicine practitioner or naturopath doctor who can order specialized gut tests.
I noticed you never mentioned boric acid as preventative treatment. Just curious what your thoughts are about it.
Hi Monique! Great question. Boric acid can be very useful if you know exactly what’s going on in the vagina but I don’t recommend taking it on your own because it can sometimes cause worsening of symptoms.
@@TheLadysGuide thank you!
I scrape myself out & do a douche when it's really bad. Only lasts about 2 days but it's a bit of relief. I get it when I have unprotected sex but it doesn't happen after all my partner's. Antibiotics are the only thing that work for me.
What probiotics can I use during pregnancy
Yakult drink or kefir smoothie all supermarkets sell these in Uk.
Thank you for this! I have had recurrent BV it’s frustrating. I got tested for all stds just to make sure. I started supplements that I’m hoping will help. I do everything you suggest in this video so hoping things change soon.
What supplements ??
would love to know the supplements !! Ive had recurrent
BVS So annoying...
@@zachyb1968 The bacteria that cause BV can sometimes infect the uterus (womb) and fallopian tubes (egg canals). This type of infection is called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause infertility or damage the fallopian tubes enough to increase the future risk of ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Therefore try your best to get the Natural Herbs to cure all forms of infection in order to prevent blockage in Your Fallopian Tubes, Agbara herbal Medication and Osakirisa herbal seed are there for you to use any time
@@zachyb1968 Try Lactobacillus Rhamnosus GR-1 and Reuteri RC-14
I've been on medications, antibiotics several times, it's been almost a year now. But right after medication, the symptoms and yeast infections recur. I feel so hopeless right now.
I'm in the same position. Nothing works...
I am not promoting the " vegan cult" but found that the MOMENT I started eating veggies and beans and sourdough bread, mine cleared up almost IMMEDIATELY. I still eat some meat on the weekends, but stick with the veggies, beans, and fruit during the week. IT WORKS. Good luck!
@@KT-jv7uv you not alone ,same thing here
I'm having the same problem, this is so annoying.
Try vaginal probiotics found on amazon
This will be tmi but i just had my last child and it was rough all the way around. I'm only 33 but my body has just not been right since. I've never had bv but after being in nicu with my baby for two weeks, i go in for the smell and the normal check up. That's the only symptom i had. This woman said i had trich and bv. I'm like how.....i told my child's father and he gets checked and is clean. Took the Meds, went away for a week tops and now here we are again. This is DEVASTATING. Has anybody used the honey pot boric acid and herbs? Said not to use while nursing. I nurse my babies for two years and i REFUSE to keep this up for that long.
Been dealing with this for three years I’ve tried
Boric acid
Garlic cloves
Treatment from 3 different medical doctors
Vaginal gel
Change my diet
And nothing is working idk what the issue is and I’ve only had one partner who I’m no longer with bc I constantly got it only with him.
Idk what else to do the doctors don’t even know what to do. I’ve had treatment for as long as 6 months still there.
Hi im in the same situation i had sex and about a week later i started having a weird discharge i went to the doc and they gave me drez v gel and doxycycline i was on this for about 10 days 2 pills a day .. after i got off lets say about a week later the discharge came back .. the doctor said all of my test for each std came back negative so im assuming its BV it has been about 2 months now and i still have a smelly discharge… sometimes inside my vagina is swollen.. im scared to ever have sex again because it seems like ill never be able to enjoy it any more .. im so insecure with myself now .. i feel like i cannot date or be sexual in any type way because it smells and i dont know what to do honestly.. doing research so many woman have it long term and i really dont want to have to live with it until i die but i guess theres nothing else i can do .. i smell bad i taste bad.. its just i dont know
If u have any recommendations for me that can help me can u let me know please
@@shamiyar2821 it could be from your sex parter. I had this issue, men carry bacteria doesn't mean he has an std. sometimes their semen causes sensitivity in our vagina, make sure he always cleans down there before having sex. Then make sure you clean properly with an unscented baby soap and use the bathroom right after. This worked for me, good luck
@@shamiyar2821 ask for prescription metrogel or metronidazole, works asap .Once your infection is gone give your body time to heal before having sex again
He got u sick happen to me too .never had issues until my ex.smdh
girl i need help 😭 i never used to get bv or uti’s and now im pregnant and i got bv, the antibiotic gave me a uti and now the uti antibiotics gave me bv again!!! what is going on it just seems endless and these infections aren’t safe for pregnancy. boric acid isn’t safe during pregnancy and drinking baking soda and all the other stuff i keep seeing everywhere but these pregnancy hormones are crazy lol.
How did you fix it?
Any updates?
I’ve been battling yeast and bv for four years now. The last year or two it’s just been bv can someone please give me a solution 😩
Rephresh. They sell it in Walmart and most pharmacies.
@@CocoDollRoom thank you. I’m going to try this
@@jeanine945 how did this product work for you girlie?? :))
Do you have any recommendation what what probiotic you’d recommend for BV?
hey do you still need recommendations?
@@user-tx8hm3tu5h yes please! :D
Are taking probiotics for vaginal health safe to take while ttc and during pregnancy?
You can drink kombucha or Kefir.
WHATS THE BEST PROBIOTIC FOR YEAST INFECTION
Drink probiotics drinks like kumbachi tea. Add femdophilis probiotics pill to it.
I don’t experience itching, burning, or a foul odor (as long as it is cleaned daily oc) but every time I insert my boric acid supplements the tool always comes out with some white slightly clumpy stuff. I really get nervous to have sex because I don’t want that to be seen lol

Please help me. I have this bready smell
Is there anyone who struggles with yeast for a long period and then found a cure that helped him to get recovered?
Living with the stigma of yeast infection and not been able to have a healthy relationship was messing up my life and my career until I got some natural herbs from Dr Ekan channel , I haven't had symptoms for some while now and planning to get another test done . Am grateful and advise you help yourself also .
My odour is so strong bcoz I use to Dettol for washing my vagina area it's too embarrassing!
Can you make video about this topic plz plz
Rephresh is a good one to use for bacteria vaginosis and it also gets rid of the smell. Don't use Dettol it will do more harm than good.
I use dettol as well!
Does BV also cause cramping after period too? :(
It sometimes can, definitely best to be seen in person for a thorough evaluation.
I sweat really easily. I can’t change out of my work pants daily. There has to be another way.
Im so tierd it keeps coming back
Am I the only one who thinks she looks like an older Olivia Rodrigo?
My girl recently had a Y.I and she thinks it’s because of me. How could that be if I’m not having sex with anyone else? Could it be my diet? Could I not be washing myself enough😭?
Sorry no one replied to you yet. Semen inside the vagina can sometimes throw off the balance of the vagina causing yeast infections. Try to minimize the times you finish inside. Also females can transmit yeast infections to males, then you two would enter a cycle of reinfecting each other. Make sure you two feel comfortable to have conversations around this embarrassing topic. Make sure she feels comfortable telling you about her vagina health and make sure you feel comfortable talking to you about your penile health.
Some girls are really sensible. If my husband ejaculates inside me over and over, after a while my pH goes off and I get a y.i. It’s about balance for us to enjoy our sex life while feeling good afterwards.
i have vaginal erosion plus infection what should i do... i have done cautery but green discharge is still coming
Hi Nazia, this needs to be addressed by your provider in person. This video is meant for educational purposes only.
Nazia go see a gynecologist coz that might be an sti and you’ll need antibiotics prescribed.
Thank goodness for boric acid suppositories😅
💕
hehe i would love to help you figure that diease out hehe
This is so annoying, just rabbiting on without any notes etc. When a person is suffering and in distress with an infection the last thing they want to do is to sit through all this. It would be much more beneficial if you present your views as a PowerPoint presentation instead of sitting there looking pretty. Nobody cares, but they do care about what you have got to say!
you are beautiful
