Reoccurring BV?!

Hey,

So I’ve had my mierna IUD for a little over a year now and for the past 6 months I have been having reoccurring BV. My BV stems from having unprotected sex and my friend has the same problem with her copper IUD, but she gets BV after every period.

Does anyone else suffer from reoccurring BV at the expense of the IUD? If so, share your stories!

Here’s what I use to help combat my BV:

1) Apple cider vinegar:

I soak in about a quarter of apple cider vinegar twice a week.

2) Boric Acid:

I was hesitant to try it out after seeing a tik tok about it, but my gynecologist told me to give it a try and it really does wonders! Some people use it as a cure, while others (like myself) use it to maintain a fresh kitty. I usually slip one in once a week if I have no symptoms and if I do have early symptoms of BV I slip one in every day for 7 days as directed.

3) Kombucha:

A really good probiotic that not only helps with your gut health, but it also helps with your reproductive system as well!!

4) Yogurt:

I drink chobani greek yogurt. I don’t like greek yogurt but their drinks taste amazing.

5) As recommended by my gyno, Floragin:

Really you can use any daily probiotic pill, but my gyno recommended Floragin and it helps to keep everything healthy and balanced.... i highly recommend!
