I was prescribed Clindamycin cream by my doc. After the first application last night I almost immediately felt relief and no more itching. However, this morning the itch is back.  I’m assuming after all of the doses it will work, right?

    Yeah it'll work, but you might also wanna try an apple cider vinegar soak..it also helps your pH balance down there

      After the medicine is done and I’ve done all the doses?? Today is only day 2 of 7. And how much apple cider vinegar?  This is a whole new world for me.

    If you fill the tub up to at least your belly button then use 2 cups of apple cider vinegar, but try to get the bath water as hot as you can and soak for about half hour...as far as probiotics...yes but you need to go to your health food store and ask them where is the probiotics that have the 4main strains to promote a healthy pH or vaginal Flora, or you can just tell them bv..but make sure they are refrigerator, cause those are actually live cultures

      So do I wait until my medicine is done before the soak?

    Well that's up to you, me personally, I do it right before I go to bed then use the cream..but if I were you I'd do the soak mayb like 2x a week...and this is your first run with bv right?

    Your welcome, hopefully it doesn't come back but if it does try the apple cider vinegar soak, Google benefits of it...I seen my family doctor yesterday and he told me to continue the soak...but like I said I've been dealing with this for 3yrs..just started the soak about 3weeks ago well with the probiotics as well
