Hi Aunt Vadge,
Aunt Vadge’s BV Rescue product was highly recommended by another user. I’m looking at the blend and wondered if it would irritate the bladder.
I had a mesh removal back in July and my bladder is very sensitive to the point the Metronidazole caused a lot of pelvic pain and I have a bad UTI because of it.
Best,

Hey there, Wendy,
Sounds like you’ve got a lot going on in your bladder and pelvic region, especially after mesh removal.
Aunt Vadge’s BV Rescue is truly loved by those who’ve given it a try, and some people rely on it to keep their BV at bay while they work on other areas of their health. The pessary blend is like a guard, getting rid of disruptive bacteria in the vagina while bringing back helpful protective species.
But, and this is a big but, considering your delicate bladder situation and recent history with antibiotics and UTIs, the lactulose component of BV Rescue might create a problem.
Lactulose is a prebiotic that selectively feeds lactobacilli and starves pathogens – except some specific pathogens, typically those present in UTIs. You can check the list of bacteria that love lactulose and see if yours are on the list. If they are, avoid any of Aunt Vadge’s treatments that contain lactulose. It’s great for some situations, but not all.
Instead, I recommend you use the AV Vaginal Pessary, as it will still have a strong antimicrobial impact, without the lactulose.
I also strongly recommend using the Oral UTI Herbal Blends, as these are incredibly powerful against UTI pathogens and can stave off the use of antibiotics.
Given that you’re no stranger to antibiotics and their less fun side effects, and considering your sensitive bladder situation, the key is to tread lightly.
Getting personalised support
In fact, instead of trying treatments like BV Rescue, I strongly recommend that you book with one of our vulvovaginal specialist practitioners and get some personalised advice and tailored treatments that take your delicate situation into account.
Simone Jeffries – our resident expert in all things menopause, UTI and vagina – is a great choice for you, and could be a game-changing appointment if you’ve been struggling for a while.
We see a lot of UTIs and BV in menopause, and the solution isn’t always more antimicrobials – there’s a lot more going on under the hood than you might think! Having someone experienced in looking for solutions outside the box might be just what the doctor ordered.
Warmly,
Aunt Vadge
