bacterial vaginosis....
| Thu, 10-09-2003 - 2:23pm |
I posted this on another woman's health board, but so far, no responses.
I thought I've been suffering from chronic yeast infections, and was trying to figure out what I could do to keep them away. But from searching around, I am now pretty sure that I have bacterial vaginosis, from what I have read.
My question is does any one know of any home things I can do to get rid of this? I am currnently unemployed (laid off back in July), and have no medical insurance. I really can't afford to go the doctor.....
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Dale

Welcome!
If you truly have Bacterial Vaginosis, it should be looked at by a doctor.
Kristen's right hon...there aren't any over the counter treatments for BV - and leaving it untreated could cause seriously major problems for you down the road...and, unfortunately, it won't clear itself up.
Thanks all for responding. I'm working on finding a clinic this morning. It just sucks, not having any health insurance right now. And even then, I'm still going to have to dish out probably big bucks for a prescription to cure it. And I just don't have the money right now.......
Thanks again!

You won't necessarily have to pay a large amount for the prescription.
Just to let you all know, I didn't get in to a doctor.......but thru a friend of a friend.......I was able to get a prescription for my problem, and I'm taking it. Started Friday, and we'll be on it all week.
Again, thanks all for responding.

I'm glad you got help!
