bacterial vaginosis

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

So, I just spoke with my mw who informed me that a culture I had done last week came back showing "the beginnings of BV".  I had her test me b/c I was having vague vaginal irritation and occasional itching (also burning when I peed).  The symptoms are not awful, but bothersome.  She is passing this on to my primary to prescribe me some antibiotics, but would ask if she knew of anything herbal for it.  I definitely do not want to take antibiotics unless other treatments fail and it's absolutely necessary.  Has anyone else dealt with this?  Any suggestions of safe natural treatment?
