I'm peri menopausal so BV is becoming a nightmare due to my hormones changing. I also used to get BV allot when I started the pill so had to come off it.

My doctor told me last night that the way to prevent a reoccurrence is to take really strong probiotics to replenish the good bacteria in your body and will help with the vaginal flora

Funny she mentioned because I remember not having it for a couple of years and at the time I was taking strong probiotics for my stomach issues. I got out the habit some time ago but now wonder if these helped at the time.

Thought I'd put it out in the hope it helps someone. I bought some today so i'll let you know how I get on.
