I've had a very bad vaginal odor for a very long time, which I've written about before on this message board. I was just diagnosed with an e coli infection in my vagina. I didn't know e coli could be in the vagina, so I did some googling and it turns out e coli can cause bacterial vaginosis. The Dr. prescribed ampicillan. I took ampicillan for group b strep when I was pregnant, and it did make the odor go away, but when I stopped the ampicillan the odor came back. I really want to make it go away permanently. I’m wondering, does anyone else have experience with e coli? Is it related in any way to PCOS? Is there any way to make it go away permanently? Does PCOS treatment help? I just started metformin a few months ago. Thanks!
hmm i am curious to cause i have had in past exams,the test come back i have a little bit of e-coli there & lately I have had a strong not so appealing odor down there & I have deuced, bought all summers eve products such as body wash, wipes and am now wearing panty liners constantly, and its has eased up but i smell it once in a while. Its gross I know! I am als asking about this at my Re appointment on Friday! Im sorry I couldnt help u! Hopefully we both can fix our problem!
Good luck!

You might want to try probiotics. Not sure which would work best, but if you visit a good natural foods store they could probably give you a recommendation.
My sister gets frequent UTI from E coli. So far, none of the docs have made any good suggestions except make sure you wipe front to back, and do not have vaginal sex right after anal sex.

Hmmm, well, I'm not overweight (I'm a "thin cyster"), and um, no "back door" for me. You're talking about wiping front to back when you have a bowl movement, right, not just urinate? Actually I'm not sure if I always do that, so I guess I should.
BTW, what are probiotics? Some kind of natural health remedy?
I was given the same advise Stellarnix posted and I was like 'duh'!
Thanks for the tips ladies I think I'll look into the Probiotics solution.
I hate taking anitbiotics for every little thing if its not really necessary!
The cause of these ecoli infections are in fact from getting bacteria from your bum into your vaginal area and it usually happens from wiping back to front. So that is the best way to prevent it- wipe front to back and make sure that no TP that has touched your bum, touches your vaginal area.
