Help! STRONG sour odour!

I have struggled with BV symptoms off and on for most of my child-bearing years. But in the last three years it has been NON-STOP and is a nightmare. I am about ready to go off the grid.

About a year ago my GYN prescribed daily woman's probiotic to grow good bacteria in the vagina, boric acid suppositories to decrease vaginal Ph, birth control pills to minimize the number of bleeding days (which affects Ph).

After my last period, I experience the same old BS symptoms. Strong musty vaginal odour. Which I quickly addressed with increasing my boric acid suppositories from once a week to four time and probiotics from once a day to twice. A week later and now I smell like a walking tub of yogurt. I have the strongest sour odour I have ever smelled. My coworkers must be miserable with me, because I know I am.

I have stopped taking as many probiotics and boric acid suppositories. But, I don't know how else to get rid of this sour smell or for that matter how to get rid of BV for good. ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!
