I first want to thank you for actually speaking about this in a very dignified way. As someone who has struggled with this in the past your recommendations are spot-on
Strong correlation to new CV V
@Mahagony1985 i have this and it even becomes worst right after intercourse
Have I said I love this doctor? He keeps it short, explains in simple terms and you heal yourself.
Quitting dairy and wheat was the only thing that stopped the vicious cycle of bv and yeast . I also use boric acid suppositories after sex or my period is over just to keep ph balanced to prevent any unwanted bacterial overgrowths ( I use just one , not a whole round for days ) . The doctors will give you an antibiotic to kill the bv but then you get a yeast infection and the cycle continues . If you have to take an antibiotic take a liquid probiotic shot like a dairy free good belly shot WITH the antibiotic meaning at the same time as the antibiotic each time you have to take a dose of the antibiotic and you won’t get a yeast infection. This was a game changer for me as well . I kept getting bv after I had a new partner but all the things above I mentioned finally stopped the cycle for good . It was a nightmare until I did all of this . You don’t need to put garlic in your vagina - just get a good quality boric acid . Side note - for some reason boric acid affects the way you absorb magnesium and it’s advised not to take magnesium while taking boric acid so I just stop taking my magnesium for the day or two that I use boric acid.
I used to have a very serious problem with BV, my doctor had basically given up on me. One day I bought a bottle of probiotics from the grocery store (one for women). At home I opened up a capsule and put the powder in and around the area. Within an hour I had sweet blissful relief and I’ve never had an issue since. The reason I tried this was because I’d watched a Ted talk on how bacteria were a little bit like binary code, either on or off. My thought process was that if I add enough of a different kind of bacteria, the BV will shut off (like a light switch). It worked, I’m not sure if that was the reason, but I am free of this problem and in the end that’s all I cared about. And yes, dairy and sugar were a huge part of my diet.
Did you suffer from itching before using a probiotics powder ?
I suffered from burning pain that was so severe I ended up in the emergency room. I have multiple sclerosis and my immune system isn’t that great.
@@christinaelliott1087 😢
Were those pills supposed to be taken orally? And you experimented by putting them in your vagina? I feel like this may be an effective method that most women may not know about.
Yes heymanhaha, I took the powder out of the gel capsule. It was meant to be taken orally. It was just a grocery store brand probiotic with cranberry, for women.
I get UTI very easily since I got married and the amount of antibiotics I've had tol control it was enormous now being pregnant I was given antibiotics to take throughout my pregnancy and watching your videos, I cut out on sugar and to my surprise I haven't had UTI since and it has been months now that I'm going to be due anytime. I thank God for you Dr and your videos.God bless you
Hello, how do you cut the sugar??? It’s in everything I look at.
Me too
I just changed my diet, by stopping everything that was high in sugar, I was consuming large amount of sugars, I stopped all junk and whatever tastes sweet, stopped adding sugar, or honey or sweeteners even with fruits I had just a small amounts and I also stopped caffeine as well.
I enrolled in your Free course.
Thank you for your altruisism in sharing so much knowledge with us. The quality of your content is amazing yet very simple to understand. Thank you!
You are a real one for this video 💯 extremely informative & much appreciated 👏🏾
Thank you I didn't know this even existed..and thanks for explaining in a dignified way...lady parts and condition's are always on display..for everyone to see...but this, made me feel good and appreciated.😊
I Love this guy! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🙏
Where have you been all my life?!🤩Thanks again Doc B!
You're welcome!
Diet plays a major role , I noticed when I ate tons of fast food. The bv will come back almost instantly.
I love dr.berg! Thank you for this video...
Love your videos Dr Berg. My pH is so sensitive and just thought I had to deal with it. Will be take oregano first thing every morning now.
Great information Dr. Berg. Thank you
I love your short videos… no wasting time 😍😍😍
Hellooooooo Dr. Berg.
I don't if you answer any of the comments. But I want to tank you for showing this video and some other ones. There's not many or any that I have seen that they talk about female conditions. Not to mention that you try to do it in the more natural way.
THANK YOU!! No really THANK YOU! I have learned so much things. I already was doing some of the things. But I came to find out I was doing Keto already. Thank you for sharing your acknowlenge with us and teaching us how to take care of ourselves.
This is why I stopped taking my birth control . I noticed I felt better because I was no longer dealing with issues like that. Each time I was ill , Dr gave me antibiotics. 🥴😵💫
I keep trying to get my daughter to stop taking her BC because I can tell she has more issues with UTI that get really bad for her but she won’t listen.
I've been wanting to ask you about this topic, but I was too shy to ask. I really suffered since August due to eating a lot of diary products. Thanks Dr Berg.
Light and love from South Africa.
Yeah, it's those little lock and keys that affect me...
.... bloody diary products 😉🤣
@@piperuk5366 Indeed !!!
I got rid of mine with oregano and drinking homemade kefir. Also like he said you have to eliminate dairy and sugar. Mine been gone for over a year now. I had it for years and conventional doctors couldn’t help with all the antibiotics they would prescribe.
Joking aside, oregano oil, a few drops in orange juice a couple of times a week keeps my BV in check 👍
try washing there with a light colloidal silver. It will kill the bacteria for sure pretty quickly.
Dr. Berg, thank you for all you do. Such a relief to have you in today's world. Do you think this also applies to lichen sclerosus?
Thank you Dr Berg. 🥇
I noticed when I started taking probiotics and drinking more water 💦 my vagina became a lot healthier.....
You know whats more healthier my body part it makes your body in good shape trust me just give me 5 min and it will change your life forever.
Probiotics is that pills
@@faridaaali6170 yes

Acura Poo thanks for your post, can you share which Probiotics you take.
Thank you Doc🙏
Really nice presentation. Thank you for doing this. Can you please talk about Yeast infection? I feel like it's another infection people don't talk about but it's affecting so many women. Thank you
Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad this video was in my suggestions. . .
How did you knew I needed this?
Thank you so much!
I got this problem, a lot, after my 71. year. For 7 months I had constantely bladder infektion because of this and had to take antibiotika all the time. Then I went through many of Dr Bergs videos ans found out that the actual reason for the many infektions was what mentioned in this video.
Im on my 3. year on keto.
🌹🙏🏽THANK you🙏🏽🌹.🇩🇰
Thank you Dr. Berg
Thank you, Dr Berg.
I’m in my twenties and haven’t experienced this, thank goodness, but my o my Dr.berg became one of my favorite you tubers. I went from 135 pounds to 122 in a month just cutting out sugar and going 3 to 2 meals a day. Dr.Berg is a blessing! ❤️🙏

Great video, so informative. 👏👏👏

Por Deus, por favor, ativem a legenda deste vídeo, em inglês mesmo, estou precisando muito, neste momento! Sou do Brasil e há muito acompanho o belíssimo trabalho deste grande anjo médico! Obrigado!
@@richricogranada9647 estou aprendendo, mas ainda não sou capaz de entender tudo somente ouvindo. Estou precisando muito deste conhecimento agora pois estou passando por esse problema. Os vídeos do Dr. Eric sempre tiveram legendas em inglês, por isso pedi.
Thank you for this video.. i use to get BV EVERYTIME the wind blow.. i started making my own tapache and kombucha and it helped.. plus decreased the sugars
This used to be a chronic issue for me after sex. Boric acid saved me. I used it almost every day. I've been keto for over a year and I noticed that now I only have to use boric acid a few times a month. What an unexpected benefit.
What brand of boric acid do you use? Or used?
I used to have lots of problems with this, thanks again Dr B
Hi there, I’m currently struggling with this and my Drs meds didn’t work. What helped you?
Thank you Dr Berg : )
Thank you ❤🙇♀️🌻
Thank you ☺️
Dr. Berg I had many UTI in my life. I have diabetes type 2 and my question to you is cheese bad for me? I eat a lot of that, mainly munster, mozzarella, extra sharp cheddar etc.
Please advise. thank you you are one the best on TH-cam.
I have actually found in my practice that it is LOW estrogen that leads to increased pH which leads to lower lactobacillus bacteria which leads to low lactic acid and an increase in vag pH which leads to proliferation of BV and or candida.
Eh?
😒
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!!!❤️
You're welcome!
Nice!
thank you
thank u doc
Your the best Dr ... your funny too & soft spoken 🤷♀️🙋♀️😁
Boric acid is useful and helps me a lot when I start feeling symptoms! I have to take breaks in between suppositories or it makes me bleed, though. It's very strong.
I struggle with this intermittently after taking triple therapy treatment for h. Pylori. My diet is paleo and very clean but I still struggle with it. It’s been 3 years since I took those meds and I still get it here and there.
Amazing thanks alot
Happy to be of help!
Thank you so much ,Dr., what if a woman has diabetes, what is the best solution?or recommendations .
Thank you 🙏🏽
Anytime
This Dr is a real Dr he explains n breaks it down. I thank you God for all Drs like him I'm GREATFUL in Jesus name Amen.
I always take a high dose of probiotics immediately after I finish any antibiotics. Also fermented veggies have a very high amount of probiotics. Every woman should learn how to make fermented veggies, pickles, cabbagem any veggie.. I learn so much on youtube.. Our Grands and Great Grands used to do this, it used to be a staple in many homes. We've gotta get back to the basics, especially during this uptick in viruses. it's really the best for ur gut. Also, the 1st sign of a yeast or BV start taking probiotics. If the dose says 2, take 2 (3 times a day.)
How to use the oregano pearl? Do we eat it?
Eat Plain greek yogurt with no sugar, Put 1/2 cup of baking soda in the bath water, drink lots of plain water. This all helped. Also take probiotics.
What kind of probiotics?
@@kristymarie6065 you can buy them in a capsule form at the health food store. Probiotics for womens health.
I would also add take garlic with that
@@Choclatcotton yes and a diet rich in fiber. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌹☕️
Thanks...
hello Dr. Berg, what if you have BV, UTI and thrush together? please can you help? it's reappearing every so often .. thank you for any recommendations
Could you please talk about desquamative inflammatory vaginitis or aerobic vaginitis? I have seen very little about DIV and I’m really struggling.
Please do one on preventing thrush
Olive leaf extract. A wonder!
Does anyone know if there is a link between insulin resistance and bv ?
Doctor Beeg what if your dairy is made from the Almond cow machine, would this dairy be also what to stop drinking?? Almond/cashews/ etc home made milk
I’ve had this trouble, and absolutely no over the counter creams or tablets work for me..the only thing that works is boric acid tablets ( suppository). But I don’t think I’ve had BV but thrush definitely.
Feels like most people here basically discover that drinking a liter of any soda every day is bad and they actually have to drink more than a glass of water and a coffee every day.
Can we take D-Mannose while breastfeeding? What would be an alternative if not, cranberry juice/capsules?
Dr Berg , this is just too coincidental , I am treating myself at the moment for this condition , so happy I saw your post on this … because of lack of Oestrogen since having a hysterectomy at the age of thirty , I’ve had many problems with thrush etc , but when my hormone implants were stopped , that’s when the problems really started , I’ve been taking a probiotic for quite a few years , but have problems after taking antibiotics, it takes a couple of months to clear thrush or BV … Don’t eat Dairy as lactose intolerant, eat a very healthy diet, fresh veg every day , fish , chicken .
If you have to take any antibiotics take a liquid probiotic shot like a non dairy good belly shot at the same time as your antibiotic every time you have a dose wash it down with a liquid probiotic and you will do better . This was a game changer for me .
@@carolinelaronda4523 Hi , thank you so much for this advice , although I had trouble finding a Dairy Free Probiotic here in UK , eventually found just one available, and it’s available at my local supermarket, Thank You …
How often should you use the boric acid, and for how long?
I wish I had found your channel years ago
Thanks Dr i have this condition since the start of my pregnancy .
Quit dairy and heal your gut by simultaneously quitting all wheat products and you will see relief . Start a good probiotic specifically for womens health and you should get relief .
@@carolinelaronda4523 Thank you.
So true before IF and avoiding sweets i had this problem.was given expensive vaginal suppositories that didnt work.now its gone..
Dr. Berg, why does your kale shake help me out with this problem?!! I NEED the kale shake otherwise I WILL get bv. I make your kale shake and add strawberries, acv, avocado. Is it because the acv changes my ph to normal?
Is this a coincidence? I have been suspecting this for a few days now. I have been eating pure junk because school has been stressful. Already made an appointment to see my doctor. Makes me so self conscious. I will try to impliment change in my diet...
Hi doc im glad uou brought this topic im shy to ask since over 2 weeks now inside my vagina it been stinging n paining so much discomfort evan when you walk sitting down i have ro take painkillers for relief i thought it might be uti i have infectons i have them twice in year bt at the same time i knew its not uti infection it pains all day non stop below so i started drinking lots of water its not helped i know now it not uti infection im really scared i have not been to the doctors i pls rrply back
Is oil of oregano similar to the oregano "pearls" ?
Had BV for a long time. The source was not food but being in water for a while (taking a bath, swimming in a lake, jacuzzi)
Hey there
Thanks for mentioning this. My daughter and I love to go wild swimming and for the past year we have struggled with BV. Especially on a hot day we just let our swim clothes dry on us and boy was that a mistake. Don't swim in lakes or rivers passed July 15th. There is just too much bacteria and stuff in the water. Thanks for mentioning this. Maybe a fix idea to do a lemon deuche after swimming or something cleansing like that. Thanks again.
Also check the lubricant you are using. Silicone-based caused me so many issues. Discontinued that and my BV disappeared.
Ok i had to take antibiotics and had a terrible infection (preketo days). I made a paste of my soil based pro biotics and applied to the area (maybe with honey can't recall) It disappeared overnight.
Not sure if there is any risk involved with that, but i was traveling and desperate.
D-mannos works well, lots of it and drink lots of water to flush it out. The bacteria is attracted to the D-mannos and flushing right out of the body. Worked MANY times
Make sure your man keeps his bat clean, and you use the proper soap in all the right areas.

Yea that too! 😂😂😂
23 years ago I was where I should be, physically speaking. I had gotten married the year before and like the crowd was put on birth control and told I needed to douche every month. Then I got BV, and the dr gave me a whole slew of drugs- antibiotics, creams, gels, etc. I tried them all. Finally, the last one "worked"...but the damage was done. Seven weeks of multiple medications and I started gaining weight (at least 40 lbs...to start.) Then I started experiencing all kinds of things (terrible headaches, leg pains, fatigue to name a few.) Of course, all the drs did was label me with Fibromyalgia (which was relatively unheard of then) and throw more medicine (muscle relaxers) at me. This whole time, they throw medicine at me and all I do is gain weight.
All this could have been avoided had I understood about medicine. Now, thanks to family history I do have autoimmune diseases (now I have RA & Sjogren's) but I have been watching more and more and I am determined to get rid of the weight.
THANKS FOR YOUR DILIGENCE, DR BERG!!!
I am pregnant and have a yeast infection. I was put on cefadroxil for 10 days but I am not sure if it works. The burning and itching are real even with the antibiotic. I really have this overbearing itch and burning any help? Do I have to adjust to this diet as well? Or its different from the yeast infection?
Hes telling the truth, better to treat it this way
Diet , excersise & daily 🧼🧽 😁
Could you please deal the topic of bartholin cysts? Thank you so much.
Yeah I'd like to hear about this same issue. I've been battling with barthorlin cyst for years. How do I get it removed but also stays gone after removing as mine has come back each n every time.
I am shocked he didn’t say anything about garlic. Sounds crazy, but works like a charm for yeast or bacteria. Pop a clove in overnight, for possibly several nights if needed, and it helps to rebalance the system. Along with some plain Greek yogurt. I had cycles of bacteria, yeast, bacteria, yeast after a round of antibiotics. It went on for months before I stopped doing the antibiotic/monistat combo and found this.
I never tried garlic cloves.I have interstitial cystitis bad..Maybe d mannose& garlic paste with a side of Pasta🥸
Do you peel a clove and insert inside like an ovule? Doesn't it burn?
Why they never tell you any of these when seeing a doctor??
Exactly! I say the samething even for dentist! Back in the day the use to now they're all a out keeping us sick so they can keep a job!
I have a question. I have epilepsy and on 2 meds. I have had uti's in the past more than I have ever had. My neuro told me to take D3 vitamin because my white blood count was low. Told me to take 5,000 units for that. I suffer alot with yeast infections so if I eliminate what your saying, this will help? That's hard because everything has sugar in it. Does this include fruit?
TAKE D MANNOSE FOR UTI . Not everything has sugar in it . Just be strict for a few months until you heal your gut . Avoid wheat and dairy and eat organic fruit and veges and quality meat and you should notice a big difference. And if you’re going to take that much vitamin D drink pomegranate juice every day to dissolve and hypercalcemia you may get from that high does . I got kidney stones from supplementing with vitamin D after only 10 days . I stopped all the vitamin D and got out in the sun and no more kidney stones .
I keep a jar of thinly sliced garlic, turmeric, lemon juice, honey and there you go. I promise it will keep your health in check. Start off with 2 table a day for a week or two then go down to one tablesppon a day to once a week. Your Vjayjay will be so happy 😊 😃.
A tonic?
I can honestly say I have never had this. I guess my diet has never been *that* bad. Sugar gave me tooth decay (as a teenager) and dairy oily hair and acne. For UTI's take D-Mannose, it works, tested on husband.
Same here not a friend of sugar or carbs they give me a headache for some reason and my grandma would say eating sugar give you worms lol. So sugar is the culprit
I never dealt with it until I got pregnant, not fun at all! My diet has almost always been terrible... not now though! 🙃
Oily hair and skin is healthy, don't be fooled. Just done constantly rinse with oily skin/hair otherwise you'll irritate skin/scalp and feed P.acnes bacteria with germs when splashing water on yourself
I agree!!! I've taken D-Mannose when I felt a UTI coming on and it actually works!!!!!
Boric acid suppositories can be pretty harsh on the vaj walls. Sometimes they make me bleed. It’ll wipe out ALL the smell, but I’m guessing it wipes out all the good bacteria too because my bv always comes back in a few days.
It actually doesn’t wipe out the good . You gotta stop eating wheat , dairy and high sugar foods/ drinks . Also , your partner may be giving it back to you over and over . I got BV from a new partner over a year ago . I kept getting it and it was such a nightmare but when I stopped wheat and dairy and used one boric acid after sex it hasn’t come back in about 8 months. It has been such a relief . I was getting really depressed but the diet change was everything
Hmm, Boric acid is the only thing that works for me..and I’ve never had any kind of reaction..
🤢🤮
I guess everyone is different, looking at other responses to your comment. I tried the boric acid, and since it is known to kill roaches, I decided to test a small area on my vagina first, before putting the whole suppository up there. I took a very small amount and rubbed it on a pink area at my vaginal opening. Within 30 minutes, I felt a strong BAD burning sensation. The next day I had a mild uti, and it took a few days for the irritation to leave completely. I'm really glad I did not insert the entire suppository deep inside myself. Probably would have been a trip to the ER.
@@carolinelaronda4523 doing keto/carnivore has helped a lot but nearly a year in it still hasn’t completely solved the problem, however I’m consuming way more dairy than I ever have on this diet. I’ve just accepted that I’ll probably need to use two boric acids pills a week for the rest of my life.
Thank you so much!!! I've noticed sex, period, Jacuzzis can trigger my bacterial vaginosis so would changing my eating habits be sufficient to stop bv? Also, can you talk about seborrheic dermatitis? Thank you Dr 😁
I can tell you quitting wheat and dairy completely stopped it for me , however I did go in a chlorine pool on vacation and ended up getting irritation . Chlorine is just horrible for your hormones and I do believe it can mess with estrogen levels . I would just stay out of chlorinated pools and hot tubs- I know I will avoid them like the plague .
@@carolinelaronda4523 thank you so much!
@@isabeldiaz9717 yeah and switch to pH water. I notice when I drink regular bottled water it gets so bad even a sip will cause me irritation.
Is this linked to LS?
As always can’t listen you without taking notes.
😂😂 right! I guess now you're the medical expert around your loved ones.
I put a couple drops of Goat Milk Kefir in my vagina and my Chronic BV of 10 years was gone! I put a few drops in for 7 days straight at night and it was gone the first night but i just kept up with it. It’s really worth a shot! I’m going to make a reddit post about this but wanted to share it here.
Good morning Dr. Berg I was on a anabiotic for 14 years it’s ruined all of my good gut digestive stuff leaving me with a yeast infection can you recommend a good probiotic for a man with a yeast infection
14 years??
Could condoms and chlorine (i.e in swimming pools) be another possible cause? Also I have candidiasis. Apparently when you take antifungals, the yeast hides out in other parts of the body. I believe I have it on my head and in my eyebrows where it causes dry, flakey patches. On my feet and face it appears as liquid filled spots. I even got it in my eye I think. Is this possible? When I use antifungals topically, the, symptoms go away, only to appear somewhere else. It's like a game of cat and mouse!
Boric acid suppositories are a life saver. I only them from Sero flora. Tried other brands and they dont even compare.
Do you get them from Amazon? Can they be used preventatively? Are there side effects from taking boric acid ovules?
Hi Dr Berg,
Thank you for this amazing information. I have had a reaction to boric acid, when I tried it I bled the following day. Not everyone gets reactions like I did so give it try regardless guys and good luck.
Maybe find a different supplier? I’m in Australia and the only way I can obtain boric acid tablets is through a compound chemist.
Unbelievable this man he is god
I have a Cuban oregano plant... gonna google if safe to chew on leaves.
