I started having issues with Bv 13 yrs ago after my child was born. Needless to say i have gone through the oral, vaginal antibiotics to only have it return the next time i had a period or sex. Also tried vinegar baths , garlic cloves hell i don't know which smell was worst. anyway a year ago i bought the cheap probiotics at dollar general. the directions called for 2 a day maybe. oh this is after the gel form of of ph balance mess. well 2 a day was not helping. so i upped my dosage to 2 a day on a regular basis for about a month, but if i had sex i took 1 or 2 extra for a couple days. after dealing with this every few weeks for years, i have only had 1 small episode(when i forgot to take them) in over a year and a half. may wanna ask your doctor because i am not in medical field. but was willing to try anything to get rid of this crap once and for all.

good luck. hope this helps someone. (have been know to take 4 or 5 a day if i havent had sex in a while. but No Bv odor or discharge.
