Hi all, I'm CJ. I've been searching for others like me who have been diagnosed with a viral infection (HPV) and experience symptoms such as recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV). I am currently taking folic acid to help clear up the virus, but every pap smear continues to reveal abnormal cells, which results in undergoing a colposcopy every 6 months. I was also diagnosed with Trichomoniasis twice in my lifetime and I feel that since having it, my vagina has never been the same. Every time I have sex, I experience BV. So awkward and embarrassing and it makes me feel so alone and lost. I do all of what my doctors and OBGYN suggest (wearing cotton underwear, using condoms, wearing no underwear at night, decreasing sugar intake), and it seems no matter what I do, the frequent BV is persistent. Using antibiotics (Metronidazole) frequently to treat the BV can't be good for the body, so I am really over going to the OBGYN every time I have sex to get treated for BV and explaining to my OBGYN that I'm doing all of what she has been suggesting. I even tried supplements (Bonafide) to help decrease frequent BV, and nope - didn't help. Does anyone else experience this??
