Which, I have to say, is insulting. Last time I checked, I knew how to take medication and follow doctors orders; I know you have to take all of the antibiotics for it to work properly. And hello, I haven’t gotten any relief from my symptoms; don’t you think I’d make sure to take properly something that promised relief from the itching and smelly, fish-like odour?

So, while reading up on possible treatments for bacterial vaginosis, I came across something quite disturbing. Metronidazole, the medication my doctor told me was the preferred treatment for bacterial vaginosis, was banned for use in animals in the EU because it had been proven to cause cancer.

Pardon me? You’re telling me that the very drug that my doctor has been encouraging me to take multiple times to the extent that he’s now just given me a multiple-refill prescription for when my bacterial vaginosis ‘reoccurs’ (his words, my words would be ‘never goes away’) is not allowed to be used on animals? So we’re more worried about the animals? What’s wrong with this picture?

Taking the information with a grain of salt (I did find it on the internet) I did some more research into the claim. It was true; tests had shown that metronidazole caused cancer and other genetic changes when tested on animals. It has not yet been found to conclusively cause cancer in people, quite possible because of a lack of studies.

I know that many drugs have harmful side affects, but their benefits far outweigh the negatives. And if, as it is meant to be used, a single course of metronidazole worked as a treatment for bacterial vaginosis, I would have no problem accepting that risk. But since things like this have a cumulative affect, my point is that chronic sufferers of bacterial vaginosis shouldn’t be taking metronidazole as a treatment multiple times, when it doesn’t even work for them.

I instead persevered in my quest for another form of treatment for my bacterial vaginosis, and I found something that would actually work. And not a cancer-causing drug in sight. Check out my “bacterial vaginosis relief” review, and I hope it can help you as much as it helped me.

These women, of whom I am one, need more information about how to cure bacterial vaginosis in a natural way. To top it all off, my doctor took the attitude that I was doing something to prevent the drugs from working properly. This was very hard on me, especially since I was embarrassed about the problem to begin with; to then be told that the reason why I wasn’t cured was my fault was almost unbearable.

I think what most doctors don’t realize is that a women suffering from chronic bacterial vaginosis will do just about anything to be cured. The itch affects every aspect of your life, from working and going out to your relationship with your spouse. Finding a cure for bacterial vaginosis would finally allow you to live a normal life.

While they can’t agree on many things about bacterial vaginosis, most medical authorites agree that it is caused by bad bacteria running rampant because of a change in the environment in the vagina. There are too many things that can cause this to happen to point to one definitive cause. They can argue about it all they like, I just wanted a cure!

I set out to find a cure for myself, and went through a lot of trial and error before I finally found something that worked. It combined a lot of the things that I had heard of before, and quite a few that I hadn’t. It took a while, but I was finally cured of my bacterial vaginosis.
