I've had it about 4 times in 2 years. It generally followed a yeast infection I couldn't shake. Blood sugar problems (oft associated w/ PCO) are usually blamed for the yeast BUT following your logic the alkaline yeast inducing pH could be a contributing factor. Yeast hates acid which is why vinegar discourages its growth. My last bout w/ BV resisted two rounds of metro gel (prescription) so I took some penicillin pills I had handy and applied directly (suppository) for three nights in a row. Within 12 hours the burning/itching was gone and in 24 hours the visible symptoms were improving.

Thanks for the info.

>Got a question for you all. just curious. I'm wondering if Vaginosis is a side effect of PCOS. here's why i think so. your vagina is acidic in PH levels untill ovulation. during that time (ovulation) your vagina becomes more basic in PH levels to create a more harmoneous environment to get pregnant. Vaginosis is a condition where your vagina is too basic, (and then you get a fishy discharge, and it's just yucky all together) I'm wondering if because our hormone levels are usually high, if PCOS is linked to this. meaning, because our FSH is high, and this creates (in turn) the basic environment, if because these levels are too high, it's creating a too basic environment (PH levels) there by creating the vaginosis.
