Chronic BV...FYI
| Tue, 12-30-2003 - 5:40pm |
I have suffered from Chronic BV since August 2002. I was in once a month to get a prescription to temporarily cure the symptoms. This became a pain in the butt!! The best my Physician could ever tell me was they eventually go away (after 2 years) and there is no known explanation. Well, after doing a little research on my own I found something that really works!!! There is a product made by Ortho called Aci-Jel. It's a Therapeutic Acid Jelly and you use it after sex and the last two days of your period. This product helps keep the Ph balance. I began using this product in October 2003 and haven't been to see my Physician since. Where I live this product has to be ordered from a compounding pharmacy, meaning they get the ingredients and make it there. Also, it might help if you look into taking some acidophilus (live bacteria) tablets on a daily basis.
If anyone out there has had it with BV consult your Physician and see if this will work for you.
Good Luck!!
