Can Vaginal Cleanse With Hydrogen Perioxide For BV Cause Spotting?

I have just started doing hydrogen peroxide Douche because I ve had BV for six months and nothing else is working. However I have gotten some bleeding... I get spotting sometimes, so it could just be normal but I m not sure if it might have something to do with the hydrogen peroxide. The color of the blood is brownish. I am doing acidophilus insert and taking it orally right after too.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
No, I dont think this is caused by Hydrogen peroxide since in this case it would bleed soon after Duche and then it should stop. If there is periodic bleeding then this is more likely caused by hormonal imbalance or ovarian cyst or endometriosis so work up is required. YOu should check hormones and do ovarian ultrasound.
I hope I have answered you query
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
