How long do you have to take grapefruit seed extract for bacteria vaginosis?

This can be a rather serious medical condition, and you really should consult a licensed naturopath or MD for advice. In the meantime, you may want to do some research on the Web. I found this: "Citrus seed extract is useful for vaginal candida infections. In a study done by the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon in Mexico, 20 women douched using grapefruit seed extract every 12 hours for 3 consecutive days. 15 patients were cured after the first treatment. Four patients received treatment twice to become symptom free and receive negative laboratory results and 1 patient repeated the treatment 3 times until the lab report came back negative."

What is the difference between the symptoms of a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis?
BV is itchy smelly and sore. Yeast infection is mostly the same but with thick white lumpy discharge. Both are easilly treated so see your Dr to get some antibitoics.

Has yogurt worked for you to treat bacterial vaginosis?
I am eating the plain kind and also inserting the yogurt vaginally. If this has worked for you how soon do you see the results?
Eating it is okay, but do not put yogurt in your vagina.

What sexual acts can I do while having bacterial vaginosis?
I'm not sure if I have it, but hypothetically...I'm guessing since it's in my vagina I can give oral sex?And what's the worst that can happen to my boyfriend if I have sex/receive oral? And with fingering, what would be the greatest setback? Could the irritation get worse, or is the smell alone a reason to stay away from that?

You can give oral sex.But you have an INFECTION in your vagina. You want your bf to put his mouth on or fingers in an INFECTION??? EWW!!! GROSS!!!
Not only could fingering and cunnilingus aggravate your infection, it's just downright NASTY.
Get the meds and give yourself time to heal. No penetration, no sexual contact and no tampons until your BV is gone.
