Avatar f tn m not sure if the spots on the back of my throat are attributed to mild acid reflux, stress, antibiotics (I was taking Clindamycin vaginally for BV during the week i slept with the guy), or oral gonorrhea, or ARS.
Avatar f tn Alternatively, you can take clindamycin for the bv and drink a boat load of cranberry juice for the UTI and water of course. It will take longer to clear up the UTI but it should work. It did for me in a pinch. It just took a couple of extra days. Of course if you are diabetic you can't.
Avatar n tn Hello, For recurrent bacterial vaginosis, it is essential to use vaginal and oral antibiotics. Treatment is by metronidazole((Flagyl, MetroGel) and clindamycin (Cleocin).They are available as pills or vaginal gels or creams. Please do not use any vaginal douches. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone - for the past 2 years I've been getting a bv infection every two or three months. This is not always directly related to sex, although it is common for me to have worse symptoms after intercourse. I talked to my gyno about it, and she recommended daily OTC probiotics which I have been taking for a couple of weeks now, antibiotics work but i only get temporary relief. I was wondering if anyone else has/had frequent bv infections like I do and what you do to prevent them.
Avatar f tn You can, I have been prescribed that before for BV, but it doesn't always work and may not be for the right kind of bacteria you have
Avatar f tn These issues sparked the interest in developing alternative therapeutic strategies. This review provides a quick synopsis of the currently approved and available antibiotics for BV treatment while presenting an overview of novel strategies that are being explored for the treatment of this disorder, with special focus on natural compounds that are able to overcome biofilm-associated antibiotic resistance.
1308690 tn?1273696411 I had a nasty case of BV and the Dr gave me Macrobid and it cleared it up. Thats by prescrirtion only . As for the yeast infection they have a pill called Flagyl its extermely potent and will kill the yeast infection. The monostat in my opinion don't help too much. Also my Dr told me its not recommended to have sex during BV and yeast infection . IT can be transmitted to your male partner if you use a condom and it breaks.
Avatar f tn I meant to say that if it is BV and yeast then after treating for BV, that your doctor can try yeast medication to take immediately following the antibiotics.
Avatar f tn I have had bv for over a year now. I also get the lower pelvic pain and i have different urinary problems that I believe is connected as well. I have been treated three times with metronidazole, and now have a prescription for clindamycin. Do you stabbing pains occasionally in the vaginal area as well?
Avatar f tn If your taking about bacterial vaginosis (BV) then usually oral medication is metronidazole (Flagyl) or Clindamycin. Vaglinal gels metro-gel, cleocin, clindasee(spelling?
Avatar f tn Ladies, tell me the truth is it me or its just this stupid ksjahqbskcidow bacterial vaginosis?!?!? Ugh I've had since I found out I'm pregnant! Took flagyl but I was allergic to I switched to clindamycin. I took that clindesse clindamycin vaginal cream, didn't work!!! Clindamycin HCl tablets for 7 days didn't work!!! Now they want me to take clindamycin HCl for 7 days again!!!??!!!!!! I'm sooooooo confused, frustrated, devastated, im cryinh and all mix nega emotions!!!!
9065649 tn?1418258207 I don't know why they gave you 30 pills bit they most likely prescribed the Flagyl because it is the best thing for treating BV. Clindamycin may work too but it's also recommended that you don't breast feed with it.
Avatar f tn I put it inside my vagina for bv. Trust me ive had a hard time even praying nothing bad will happen tp us specially my baby boy! Then after a month I still have it. August.... They had me take this tablet twice a day for seven days... Its called clindamycin HCl!!! Again i was too scared to take it but i had to! Then after a month, I still have it!!!
Avatar n tn Are you sure it is a yeast infection not BV? I thought I had yeast infections for the longest time but it was actually BV.
Avatar f tn / Ive had bv ever since my first check up. like i was 2 months. and now im 4 months. tried flagyl for two days but i stopped cuz i was allergic to it and clindesse as well (vaginal cream) one dose. then i was checked up last july 30th and they called me to say ... I still am positive for BV infection :(( I hope my babys doing fine. I am gonna take clindamycin hcl twice a day for a week. even asked the pharmacist if its really safe. and yeah they all told me its safe to take.
Avatar f tn So, firstly how did they diagnose your BV? What test did they use? Usually Garnerella can start the BV but it can be caused by other problems. Which probiotic did you use? You don't use a douche do you? That can cause problems? Did they try using clindamycin? Also, you could have you and your husband both try the antibiotic at the same time since you seem to get it with intercourse. Do you get it if he uses a condom? That would indicate it is getting passed to you back and forth.
Avatar f tn For the past 8 months or so I have had bv. I have taken every med you can think of. Even tried boric acid. My main symptom is burning sensation in my V. Sometimes I have discharge with or without an odor. Every time my gyn checks me she does a culture and looks under the microscope. Now the culture always comes back negative. But when she looks under the microscope she she clue cells. I've been tested for stds all came back negative.
Avatar n tn I agree with the second post. Sounds like BV. Go to the doctor, ask for a culture and they can give you antibiodics to clear it up. Also, request the gel if you do have it. Do not take clindamycin or any other harsh antibiodics, they can cause C-diff and other bowel problems.
Avatar n tn i finished taking metronidazole 500mg for 7 days and then took a pill for yeast infection for one day cant remenber the name but a week after the npleasant smell is still her ..
Avatar f tn Its like every month since July I have to take a dose of clindamycin HCl twice a day for seven days... July I took flagyl for two days was allergic to it so they gave me clindesse vaginal cream for my baby! Then august found out I still have it and they have me take this clindanycin HCl tablet. Then august 27th, ugh I still have it!! They're making me take the same ****. Sorry im just a lil bit disappointed nor upset. Yup its clindamycin HCl again for seven days twice a day!
Avatar m tn hi everbody well i am a teenager who is 20 yrs old been with my bf for about 3 years and ive been getting a funky fishy oder and alot of discharge. my bf even tells me that it smells sometimes, i feel so imbarresed when he tells me i havent visit a doctor yet because im scared im wondering if its just a B.V bit idk i need answers please!!!!
Avatar f tn Within 24 hours of cure from a recent episode of BV by metronidazole or clindamycin, implement vitamin C for six consecutive monthly cycles. Each cycle consists of inserting one vaginal tablet for 6 consecutive days during each month following menses [[Use with tampon to keep the vitamin C inside]].
Avatar f tn So I went to my gyno and she said the yeast was gone but I had BV. Sh gave my flafyl. Finished it but was still itching.she then prescribed me clindamycin vaginal cream.finished that and still no relief. I've tried everything. Probiotics,yougurt, changed toilet paper,only washed with mild soap,etc. I changed my whole routine. Vinegar douches and baths only give me temporary relief. Also I used monistat one last time after the antibiotics since some can give u a yeast infection.
Avatar f tn I went to the obgyn last week they ran urine samples and std tests and everything was okay, I told them I’m spotting still for two weeks now three and cramping the test came back for BV so they prescribed me Metronidazole I felt way too anxious about taking it , Friday I went in for a ultrasound and pelvic ultrasound I believe and got the results today that it was fine. They now prescribed me clindamycin gel which I will pick up tomorrow due to pharmacy out of stock.
Avatar f tn there's absolutely no reason why your kids can't be in the bed with you! We don't have the sort of contact it takes to transmit std's to our children and everyone sleeping mostly clothed in bed together is no risk whatsoever!! Bv isn't actually considered a std. We don't even consider it contagious persay either. It's typically only seen in women who are sexually active but it's not typically passed back and forth between partners.
