Bacterial Vaginosis
| Mon, 01-12-2004 - 12:05pm |
I have a problem in that I keep getting bacterial vaginosis. I have been seeing a general practicioner for it (insurance reasons) and she keeps prescribing Metro. All too soon, it is back. This has been happening for a couple of years, quite regularly, every few months.
Now, I have been getting the familiar discharge (a bit stronger though) and a frequent urge to urinate, though I don't have to void. Is this common in b.v infections?
I have been looking for a gynecologist, as I think perhaps the g.p. isn't all that skilled with this, but I cannot get a new patient appointment for a few months.
Is the urination feeling usual for this? I do know I do not have a bladder infection as each time she also gives me the test for that, and there is no indication of bladder infection.

Hi there!
Are you on the pill by any chance?
I did a search on the net for info on b.v. and am puzzled....some sites suggest NOt doushing, others say to, but with some herbal something or another...ugh. I guess I will be learning a lot about this.
Thanks again :)
