ok im in my late teens. iv had BV (bacterial vaginosis) for a few years now but i was too scared to do anything about it. recently i plucked up the courage to go to the doctor and she prescribed me with flagyl.

however, i have read a lot of material about this drug (because its an antibiotic-and i dont like taking them) and i have found that its not very effective and has many different side effects (like thrush!!!).

so i dont really know what to do now. my main problem is the fishy smell- its gross.. i dont get much discharge. i got bv because i used to wash down below with soapy water.

i think i should do something along with taking flagyl like putting probiotic yogurt on a tampon?? the flaygyl gets rid of good and bad bacteria.. so by restoring it with the yoghurt- i might be back to “normal”??

PLEASE HELP!!! with any comments, suggestions!!
has anyone gotten bv and gotten rid of it?
i eat yoghurt daily and nothing has improved!
