Maybe you have a vitamin deficiency

so I have suffered with bv for 10 years or more on and off. I have tried everything you can name to get rid of it but it always came back. I read in another forum how sometimes if you have a vitamin deficiency it can throw off your ph balance. I remembered as a kid taking vitamins for my iron on a daily basis because it was always low. As i started getting older i just stopped taking them because i felt normal, or so i thought. So after reading that post I bought some iron pills, im on day 5 and the fishy smell is gone!! and the discharge has lightened up a lot.

      So far Im still in the clear I finally had sex yesterday, twice and I still have no smell or discharge. Normally the smell would be so strong during and after sex. your right this is a simple fix, after all of these years ive dealt with this and all the money ive spent on useless product that did nothing but make it worse, all I needed was iron pills.
