BV: The Vicious Cycle

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Sun Dec 14 01:04:00 PST 2008

Now that I've covered the basics - doctor visits and prescription drugs - I'll talk about something that every women needs to understand when it comes to BV: The Vicious Cycle. (Thank you readers, for your patience!)

Some women get BV, they go to the doctor and take antibiotics, and then ... they are cured. These women are the lucky ones.

You are probably reading this blog because you are not one of those women. You're probably dealing with a "Vicious Cycle," an endless recurrence of BV. After taking the antibiotics, you probably feel better for a little while. And then the symptoms come back. And then the whole cycle starts all over again.

It's very important to know why this happens. Although we don't fully understand how women get BV in the first place, I have a pretty good idea about why it recurs.

First of all, it's important to realize that BV is caused by a bacteria imbalance in your vagina's flora. The good bacteria become low in number, and the bad bacteria takes over, and that is how you get BV. So taking the antibiotics kills the bad bacteria, and you feel better.

BUT - and here's the important thing to know - the antibiotics also kill the good bacteria, and does nothing to ensure that the good bacteria will increase once the treatment is over.

That is why taking antibiotics does not prevent you from recurrences, and why so many women suffer from the Vicious Cycle.

And now that we understand how the recurrences occur, we can figure out how some women may get BV in the first place: antibiotics. Many people take antibiotics for many reasons - illness, injury, etc. - so if you have taken antibiotics in the past any reason, you may have upset the balance of your vaginal flora.

The only way to get back in balance is to find a way to restore the good bacteria. And I'm going to cover how to best do that in my next post.

Your Gynecologist Appointment

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Sun Dec 07 12:21:00 PST 2008

As persistent BV sufferers, many ladies have visited their gynecologist more times than they would like. These are some tips for your visit.

Thing to Do (& Not Do)

• Keep a journal of your appointments. Type up a list/table on your computer, recording the dates, tests, and results of your trips to the gynecologist, plus any other notes you want to add.
  
  Printing out this list and giving it to your doctor to put in your file is a good idea, so they can get a better picture of your health history. This is especially useful if you're going to a new doctor - the less they have to handwrite stuff in your file, the less time you both waste.

• Bring with you a list of questions you want to ask the doctor. Sometimes when you're half-naked and swaddled with a giant paper napkin, you can forget all the questions you wanted to ask.

• Do not douche, have intercourse, or use other products (e.g., creams, suppositories) in your vagina before your exam.
  
  A lot of sources tell you to not do these things for 24 hours before your exam. My suggestion is to avoid all these for even longer, or not do them at all, if possible. You want your doctor to examine you when the symptoms are at their worst.
  
  You should also avoid baths before your exam, because it can wash away your vaginal secretions. One Bust Lounge poster said that she knew she had BV, but she took a bath the day before her exam and her doctor found nothing. She went back later without a bath, and the doctor finally diagnosed her BV.
  
  So make sure your doctor doesn't miss the diagnosis! Don't douche, take a bath, have intercourse, or use any products before your exam! If your symptoms are bothering you, use ice packs or pain relievers instead, and just ride it out until you get into the doctor's office.

Fem-Dophilus: The Big Debate

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Fri Jan 02 22:01:00 PST 2009

In my previous posts, I talked about why probiotics is the right approach to dealing with BV, and how Fem-Dophilus is probably the best single OTC product there is, so far.

The big debate in the Bust Lounge was about whether Fem-Dophilus should be used vaginally.

I understand the urge that many women feel to treat the problem at the source. And I agree that putting the good bacteria right where it needs to be is probably the most effective method.

I don't have a recommendation about what you should do. But here are the Pro's and Con's of the vaginal use of Fem-Dophilus.

Pros:

• Fem-dophilus was used vaginally during clinical trials by its makers (source)

• A Bust Lounge member contacted one of the doctors who created Fem-Dophilus (Dr. Gregot Reid) and asked if it could be used vaginally. He answered,"yes."

• Some Bust Lounge members have used it this way, and have reported no ill effects.

Cons:

• I'm personally not convinced that a capsule filled with starchy ingredients is the best delivery system for the vagina. (I've had a terrible experience with a similar product, which I will detail in a future post about "thumbs-down" products.)
  
  The problem is mostly about the capsule not breaking down and dissolving completely, and the pieces mixing with the starchy ingredients inside, causing irritation.

• A few Bust Lounge members have experienced these same unpleasant effects of trying to use Fem-Dophilus vaginally.

So, should you use Fem-Dophilus vaginally? Personally, I would err on the side of caution, so I would recommend against it. It's effective when taken orally, and that is the safest way. On the other hand, one of the doctors who developed the product endorses vaginal use. The company simply can't market the product this way, because there are more stringent requirements for a vaginal product.

Which brings the issue back to the safety issue - why isn't it officially approved for vaginal use, the same way that Monistat or RepHresh is?

As you can see, I don't have the definite answer about what you should do. I can tell you that vaginal use is "off-label" use, and because of previous bad experiences, I personally wouldn't use it this way. But some ladies do use it this way, so be aware of that.

Some tips: Some users who use the product vaginally also use it along with a acidic lubricant (e.g., RepHresh) which may help the capsule break down better. And one user even takes the powder out of the capsule, and mixes it with a lubricant and applies it with her finger. I'm not personally endorsing any particular way to use it, but just letting you know some of the ways that the product is used.

As you will see if you continue to read my blog, I'm a big believer in presenting all the information, and leaving it to each person to make her decision about which treatment is the best for her.

Of course, none of the this debate is necessary if you just take the product orally. It is very safe that way. No one has ever suffered any ill effects by using Fem-Dophilus exactly as described by the instructions.

Doctors Don't Know Everything (And Sometimes, They're Jerks)

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Tue Dec 02 15:36:00 PST 2008

BV is a very common problem, but it is not very well understood. As a result, many ladies have encountered doctors who dismiss the problem as not a big deal, or even fail to diagnose/treat it. More and more research is showing that untreated BV contributes to permanent damage of your upper genital tract. So be proactive about your health, and don't let your doctor shrug you off. Switch doctors if necessary.

I had my share of bad doctor experiences. I suffered from BV for about 7 years. And during the first 3 years, I went to the gynecologist many times complaining about my symptoms. I think I had more than 15 trips to 3 different gynecologists, and all of them failed to diagnose my problem. (After a while, whenever I saw the doctor slip on the latex gloves, I just felt like screaming.) They kept sending me home with pain medication, telling me that I may have ovarian cysts, or just pre-menstral cramps. It was very frustrating.

I assumed that since all these doctors are telling me nothing is wrong, I should trust them, right? But I'd always come home and think ... 'Nope, something is still wrong.'

When I was finally diagnosed with BV, I was so relieved that I just started crying. I knew something was wrong for years, and somebody finally figured it out!

Other Bust Lounge posters have shared many stories like that, too. Not only do some doctors fail to diagnose and treat the problem, they disrespect you. I understand this frustration as much as anyone. I've had doctors call me "over-sensitive," "paranoid," and "hypochondriac." It's frustrating and upsetting, and some ladies are permanently discouraged from going back to the doctor.

But never give up! As I said in my previous message, medical care is necessary at some point. So it's important to find a doctor who will treat you properly. If they brush you off, don't just take their word for it. If your doctor treats you in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, find another doctor. Make your health a priority.

Recently I read the story of Ayala Miron, a woman who suffered from ovarian cancer for years but her doctor failed to diagnose her despite examining her many times. It certainly put things in perspective for me. (BV is awful, but nothing compared to cancer!) And it is also a good lesson for us all. To quote Ms. Miron herself:

"Women need to trust their own bodies. If you're feeling that something is wrong, don't assume anything. Be persistent. And don't wait."

What Is BV?

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Mon Dec 01 22:58:00 PST 2008

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginitis. It is caused by an imbalance of bacteria that live in your vagina.

In the simplest terms: in an healthy vagina, the "good" bacteria (e.g., Lactobacillus) is dominant. If you have BV, the "bad" bacteria (e.g., Gardnerella vaginalis) have overgrown and taken over.

Symptoms:

The main symptoms are color and unpleasant odor in your vaginal discharge. The color may vary from gray, yellow, or green. The odor is typically described as "fishy." Some ladies have also described it as "like ammonia," or even "hot garbage." The consistency of the discharge is sometimes described as "slick."

The chief complaint for BV sufferers is the odor. Sometimes the odor is strong enough that other people may notice it during your normal daily activity. Naturally, the unpleasant odor can affect your sex life.

A healthy vaginal discharge is clear or milky, and generally has no odor. You know how many people joke about vaginas smelling like fish? This is because BV is very common and a lot of ladies have it. So don't feel bad if you have BV. But do something about it.

Generally, anytime you see any discharge that has unusual color or odor, you need to seek medical attention. It's not going to go away if you ignore it.

OTC Treatment #1: Fem-Dophilus (Thumbs Up)

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Tue Dec 16 11:35:00 PST 2008

The best way to combat BV is to replenish the good bacteria in the vaginal flora. So probiotics is the answer. Probiotic = good bacteria.

The trick is figuring out which probiotic you need, and how to get it where it needs to be.

In the Bust Lounge, many ladies have shared their methods for using probiotics, including inserting liquid probiotic products in the vagina several times a week and sleeping on a towel. Unfortunately, not all strains of probiotics will work. You need the probiotic product to contain the right strains of the good bacteria for it to have any effect. And most probiotic products are designed to be used to balance the intestinal flora, not the vaginal flora.

However, there are more products being designed to address the vaginal flora. I'm going to tell you about the best over-the-counter (OTC) treatment for BV there is. A probiotic product called Fem-Dophilus made by Jarrow Formulas.

Some information about Fem-Dophilus:

1. Top Medical Breakthroughs of 2007 (Prevention Magazine)


2. Europe's Best-Kept Health Secret (Prevention Magazine)


3. Study Shows the Effectiveness of Oral Probiotic L. Rhamnosus GR-1™ and L. Reuteri RC-14™ In Treating Bacterial Vaginosis


4. Specific probiotic strains are effective for genitourinary infections

So as you can see, Fem-Dophilus is a product specifically designed to restore the good bacteria. It contains patented strains of the good bacteria Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1® and Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14® which help restore healthy vaginal flora.

This is the product that got me back in balance after suffering from BV for 7 years. I truly believe that probiotics is the right approach to dealing with BV, and Fem-Dophilus is the product that currently best addresses that need.

While posting in the Bust Lounge, I've been very reluctant to tout Fem-Dophilus as a cure - in part because I didn't want to seem like a spammer or a shill - but also because there have been many such claims made by other posters about other products, and none have turned out to work.

But I've done what I could to share the benefits of this product without inflated promises. And after nearly a year of steady posting about why Fem-Dophilus makes sense, posters began to finally try the product for themselves. Quite a few ladies have taken it, and have had positive results - from dramatic improvement to 100% cure. So I can tell you with confidence that many Bust Lounge members have benefitted from taking Fem-Dophilus, more than any other OTC cures that have been discussed in the thread.

If you take the time to understand why achieving bacterial balance is the right approach to dealing with BV, you'll see why probiotics is the answer.

How to Use Fem-Dophilus:

Fem-Dophilus are oral capsules, and you take one to two each day. The capsules are designed so that the good bacteria survives digestion and will colonize in your vagina.

My Recommendation:

I highly recommend everyone suffering from the Vicious Cycle of BV give Fem-Dophilus a try.

The best way to take it is to take it along with antibiotics (two capsules per day), and continue to take it after you are finished with the antibiotics. This way, the antibiotics will wipe out the bad bacteria, while the Fem-Dophilus re-populates with the good bacteria. Another reason for starting with the antibiotics, which I've mentioned in earlier posts, is that Gardnerella bacteria can travel to the upper genital tracts and may cause damage. So in that case, you would need to take care of that with oral antibiotics.

However, if you cannot take antibiotics (e.g., pregnancy), you should still take Fem-Dophilus to achieve a balanced vaginal flora. Without the antibiotics, the good bacteria may have a bigger hill to climb to achieve dominance in the flora, but it's still worthwhile. (Fem-Dophilus is safe to use during pregnancy. But always check with your OB/GYN first!)

Another reason I recommend Fem-Dophilus is that when used as instructed, it is safe. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work for you. The only other drawback is that it is expensive, and not widely available.

--

Where to Buy Fem-Dophilus:

1. Whole Foods Market sells them in their refrigerated probiotics section.
2. iHerb.com ships them in a cold pack.

Fem-Dophilus needs to be refrigerated. These are the only two sources I know of that stores and sells it refrigerated. You will find many other sources on the internet that sells them un-refrigerated. But be advised that this product contains live organisms, so if you buy it un-refrigerated, the product's potency will be reduced.

I will discuss Fem-Dophilus further in my next post.

Doctor Can Be Jerks - You're Still Going to Need One

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Sat Dec 06 01:38:00 PST 2008

My previous post was about how some doctors make mistakes, and some don't have the best bedside manners. And if you encounter such a doctor, you need to be proactive and don't take their word for everything.

But while my blog will offer a lot of tips and research for BV sufferers, one thing I impress on everyone is that medical attention is required. There are no shortcuts and no substitutes.

Reasons you need to go to the doctor:

1. BV requires prescription drugs for treatment. I know you probably researched BV on the internet and found this blog because you were hoping for an over-the-counter (OTC), perhaps homeopathic or naturopathic cure. Let me disabuse you of that notion right now. In my experience, most of them generally do not work, so most of the OTC tips you find on the internet will be a waste of your time and money.
   
   (However, there are OTC supplements that are very useful for BV sufferers, and I will cover them in detail in my future posts.)
   
   Medical care is just something you are going to need at some point in dealing with BV. So there is no getting around it - medical care is absolutely the first step anytime you notice an unusual odor or color in your vaginal discharge.
   
   I know many people do not have health insurance. Not to mention no one enjoys a trip to the gynecologist. But if you think something is wrong, don't put if off. Explore all the resources in your community, such as Planned Parenthood, or other family planning or health clinics, and make it a priority to take care of your health.



2. BV has health consequences. In the past, BV was considered a "nuisance" infection that was bothersome, but not dangerous. But more and more research is showing that untreated BV may result in potentially serious health consequences. (I will detail them in a future post.)
   
   
3. It could be something else. Quite a few ladies I've encountered thought they had BV, but a trip to the gynecologist revealed that they had other problems. The other discovered problems were usually more serious than BV, (e.g., an STD), so it was a good thing that they got medical care.
   
   Remember, BV can occur simultaneously with other problems. So even if you are sure that your symptoms are BV, you can't rule out the possibility of other problems.
   
   If you are sexually active, there is always a chance that you have an STD. Quite a few of them do not even present symptoms. (For example, did you know that up to 75% of women and 50% of men who have Chlamydia have no symptoms?) So always be vigilant and get regular exams.

Doctors can make mistakes, and they can be jerks. Trust me, I know. But don't let them discourage you from seeking medical care. Put yourself first, always.

Prescription Medication #1: Metronidazole

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Sun Dec 07 12:36:00 PST 2008

IMPORTANT: My reason for including entries about prescription medication is to simply share some basic information, and the experiences of those who used them. But nothing in this blog is a substitute for a discussion with your doctor, and reading the literature that you get from your doctor/pharmacist.

Currently, there are three types of antibiotics widely used to treat BV. I'm going to cover some basic information about each.

This is an overview of the most prescribed medication for BV: Metronidazole, which comes in two forms.

Metronidazole, a.k.a. Flagyl (oral)

• Description: oral tablets - typical regimen is 500 mg, 2x a day, for 7 days or 2000 mg single-dose

• Cure Rate: 95%, single-dose 84%

• Pros: the first-line-of-defense for BV, has high cure rate; generic version is inexpensive

• Cons: causes metallic taste in mouth; do not drink even a drop of alcohol while taking this, and for 3 days afterwards (not even cough syrup, or even a bite of tiramisu - it will make you very nauseous!)

Metrogel (vaginal gel)

• Description: Vaginal gel

• Cure Rate: 75% for 3-day regimen

• Pros: you can avoid some of the side effects of the oral Flagyl (although you should still avoid alcohol)

• Cons: the cure rate is lower than with the oral medication according to some sources

My Recommendation:

Whether you choose the Flagyl or Metrogel for your treatment is up to you and your doctor. However, I think it is better to take the oral medication if possible. In recent years, there are more and more research that shows that BV germs can travel from your lower genital tract to your upper genital tract and cause problems. So for that reason, taking the oral medication instead of the intra-vaginal gel/cream may be a better choice.

Many Bust Lounge members have used both types of these medications. Some have shared that after taking it several times, Flagyl makes them nauseous, even when alcohol is not consumed. Some members have also reported that they feel depressed after taking Flagyl.

The cure rate information is from this source.

Prescription Medication #2: Clindamycin

by noreply@blogger.com (Lori) @ All About Bacterial Vaginosis

Thu Dec 11 14:22:00 PST 2008

IMPORTANT: My reason for including entries about prescription medication is to simply share some basic information, and the experiences of those who used them. But nothing in this blog is a substitute for a discussion with your doctor, and reading the literature that you get from your doctor/pharmacist.

Currently, there are three types of antibiotics widely used to treat BV. I'm going to cover some basic information about each.

This is an overview of Clindamycin, which comes in three forms.

Clindamycin (oral)

• Description: oral capsules, typical regimen is 300 mg, 2x a day, for 7 days

• Cure Rate: 94%

• Pros: a broad-spectrum antibiotic, provides an alternative to patients who can't take Flagyl; does not cause nausea when consumed with alcohol

• Cons:
  
  • may cause overgrowth of Streptococcus (Strep) bacteria
  
  
  • From the literature that patients receive with this drug - "WARNING: This medicine should be used only for serious infections because infrequently there are severe, rarely fatal, intestinal problems (pseudomembranous colitis) that can occur."

Cleocin (vaginal cream)

• Description: 3- or 7-day vaginal ovules/suppositories

I don't know much more about Cleocin because it doesn't seem to be very widely prescribed.


Clindesse (vaginal cream)

• Description: one-dose vaginal cream

• Cure Rate: The company claimed 88% (PDF file), but was cited by the FDA (PDF file) for overstating that figure, among other claims: "The e-Pharm/alert e-mail is false or misleading because it overstates and misrepresents the efficacy of Clindesse, presents unsubstantiated superiority and patient compliance claims, and minimizes the risks and limitations to the indication associated with Clindesse."
  

• Pros: a broad-spectrum antibiotic, provides an alternative to patients who can't take Flagyl; does not cause nausea when consumed with alcohol; one-dose convenience

• Cons:
  
  • Clindesse can be systemically absorbed, and can cause all the side effects of oral Clindamycin, such as pseudomembranous colitis
  
  
  • From this source: "... clindamycin vaginal cream, which was frequently used for bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy, is no longer approved because it results in a strep vaginosis."

My Recommendation:

Should you use Clindamycin or Clindesse for BV? In short, no. Doctors used to prescribe it often, and may still do. But I keep finding more sources that say that it causes Strep bacteria overgrowth, and that is a real concern. Not to mention that Clindesse is apparently not very effective, and the company that makes it has overstated how well it works. So these are definitely more reasons to avoid it. Many women have used Clindamycin and Clindesse (myself included) in the past. But I think we need to stay away from it from now on.

Unless you have a very compelling reason to avoid Flagyl (e.g., an allergy), I would recommend that you avoid all forms of Clindamycin. (And wanting to not go without drinking alcohol for a week is not a compelling reason!)
