bacterial vaginosis....

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!

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.
