    I have been suffering from it since I'm 30. I recently decided to take the metronidazole and so far it's worked. I took it early September. Although I haven't had sex yet or menstruated since to actually see if it comes back again. Have you tried the medication?

      I dont want to discourage you, because what works for one doesnt work for another.  But i already tried that.  the clindamycin causes my an yeast which is why i gat the diflucan.  Its all good as far as the smell,  but then the clindamycin cream (not sure if there is a pill)  leaves a big thinck dischage that it would be odd to have sex anyways just like the smell.  

      And then a few weeks after I was back to the same.

      It is a 6 month treatment I've only tried clindamycin for one day so I guess it's worth a try
