i went to the doctor 2 months ago with a yeast infection and the doctor gave me one pill to take because she said it was only a mild infection and probably caused by antibiotics i was on before. over the next two weeks it still didnt feel right down there.. the pill seemed to have helped but my discharge was still thick (paste-like) and had a weird smell. then it got worse..it started itching really bad.. it was so uncomfortable. so i went back to the doctor and this time she told me it was bacterial vaginosis... even though it felt exactly the same as before only worse. she gave me 14 pills and told me to take them twice a day for 7 days. i did this. the pills made my mouth dry and taste like metal and my pee dark and smell horrible but i kept taking them. this was two weeks ago and STILL something feels wrong. my discharge is still thick (not AS thick as before but thicker than when everything felt normal).. and every once in a while it gets a slight itching feeling, a tickling feeling almost, that only stays for a few minutes. my "down there" doctor isnt covered on my insurance and i can't afford to keep going back!i'm hoping someone could help me treat this problem myself. if i treated it like a yeast infection and used monistat and it ended up being BV would that make it worse? what are some home remedies for bv? any info you have please share!

This yeast infection treatment is quite effective with many types of infections because God has created the body with mechanisms to combat disease.  So you will probably have success using this natural routine - Yeast Infection:  Douche morning and evening with a two quart hot water bottle/douche/enema bag.  Filling it with as hot of water as you can tolerate but not so hot that it burns you.  This is very effective at killing yeast as it summons your own white blood cells to the area of infection and they do a splendid job of killing the infection.  One or two days treatment is normally required to get over most yeast infections.
