Still waiting on BufferGel
Still frustrated - we need something new that works!
Date: 6/18/2007 9:12:00 AM ( 17 y ) ... viewed 9016 times For a long time I have fought with BV, at the doctor and at home, with no real success. it seemed I was successful with the Vitamin C, Hydrogen Peroxide and L.Reuteri Tabs... I think the truth was that it was easier because I just wasn't very sexually active so there wasn't much going on to upset the bacterial balance. Now I am seeing a new man and much more sexually active and it is harder and harder to keep the odor and discharge away. I have to use something about every day and have found myself wondering if maybe I shouldn't just give the flagyl another chance. I know that's what started this cycle in the first place.
I do have one more hope and that is BufferGel. I have discussed it before in previous posts, it is a new gel that is being studied as both a contraceptive and STD preventative (including BV). It uses a strain of Hydrogen Peroxide-producing Lactobacillus to keep the vaginal environment at the proper acidic ph and to kill the bacteria that cause BV, STD's and allow sperm to survive, thus making it effective as an "Environmental Support" kind of thing - it would just help get things back to the way they're supposed to be down there...
So, I wrote Mr. Moench who is the President of ReProtect to ask him when the planned commercial release date is, as they have been studying this stuff for at least 5-7 years already. He wrote back [Thank you for your inquiry. We expect that BufferGel will be released as a contraceptive for use with a diaphragm or similar cervical barrier in about 2 years. Investigation of its utility to prevent sexually transmitted diseases including HIV is currently underway, and claims for utility for these indications will take longer still.]
So, 2 years. Seems like a long time to wait until I think about the fact that I've been treating it myself for 2 years and it doesn't seem that long ago that I quit going to the doctors.
