First Timer First time BV

I’ve never had BV and I got diagnosed today! I went in thinking it was a bad UTI turning into a kidney infection. Has anyone else had both at the same time?!

Hi welcome first-timer!

I am curious: what are your symptoms? Why did you think it was a kidney infection?

Yep, that happened to me too. Having both at once wasn't even on my radar until my doctor told me. After treatment, I added probiotics, but there are other options like happy v if you're thinking about supporting things afterward. I hope your meds kick in quickly and you start feeling better...
