BV keeps coming back after period

BV will NOT go away just because you had your period. Keep in mind that BV happens because there is a bacterial imbalance and there isn't enough of certain bacterium to keep the others in check. Trying to go to the GYN is the best option because they will be able to diagnose it in the office, same day. The main symptoms of BV are: yellowish discharge that is liquidy in consistency, a foul odor and some discomfort such as cramps. Intercourse will intensify the odor, so I would advise against it if you feel your partner will notice or makes you feel uncomfortable. The GYN will prescribe mentronidazole to clear up the infection. Keep in mind you absolutely CAN'T consume any alcohol while on this medication. That means no mouth wash or anything else that contains alcohol for up to 72 hours after finishing the course of antibiotics. And you must finish all of the antibiotics to ensure that the infection is completely cleared up. BV can occur for multiple reasons and is very common. Most women don't realize they have BV because they're not displaying any of the main symptoms. It can happen from something as simple as a hormonal imbalance (like stopping birth control) or a change in sexual partners. So take precautions if possible. If left untreated, BV can lead to more significant health risks. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

I had bv over and over for over a year.....I was so depressed over it and couldn’t figure it out! I think mine was caused from to many acne oral antibiotics so taking more and more antibiotics over the year to treat it was really worrying me! I tried a few home remedies but finally found something that worked! I took an uncoated non chewable vitamin c tablet, cut it in half and inserted it before bed. I would do this 2-3 days in a row and it would go away!!!I took a bunch of active probiotics! I got them from vitamin store they had to be kept in fridge. It’s been a few years now and I rarely get them but every time I do I go back to my vitamin c tablets!worth a try
