    I'm so sorry for you having to go through that. I've never been told that. If you haven't already...try these remedies. They work for me, not permanently, but stays at bay a while before re-treatment.

    1. BORIC ACID vaginal capsules...insert for up to 5 days (longer if necessary). I personally can use 1-2 nights. Insert at night and wear minipads or maxi if needed during the day. After a successful treatment, you can try Rephresh Gel Inserts every 3 days.
    2. Take a bath in water and hydrogen peroxide. Not a tub full, but just enough to have your private underwater. For me, the odor went away immediately.

      3.. Take a daily probiotic. I recently switched to Dr. Formulated for Women 50 BILLION.

    Other just good "housekeeping" things I do is eat Activia yogurt twice a day and drink lots of water (sometimes with a lemon). Water detoxifies your body.

    Everybody is different so I cannot guarantee this will work for you, but it might be worth a try. GOOD LUCK!

    Hey, I suffered with BV for a year. A few weeks ago my gyno prescribed my clindamycin, fluomizin, levofloxacin, and fluconazole for yeast an guess what: I still had BV.

    I was so sick of going to the doctor every month and tried everything from probiotics, vitamin c, vitamin d, folic acid, antibiotics, and I still had it.

    I read somewhere about this girl who drank antioxidants after her meds and it cured her so I decided to try it out. So right after my meds:

    1. Mix 1 tbsp liquid chlorophyll with water 3x a day but I just mixed a few tbsp and filled it into a huge water bottle so I can drink it throughout the day (sometimes I drink 1-2tbsp of this detox drink which is apple cider vinegar, honey, ginger, and lemon once a day but i hate the taste so i just ditched it)
    2. One week all fruit and vegetable detox
    3. Ditched all of my leggings and switched to loose/harem pants (doctor said to let oxygen flow in and to reduce moisture/dampness)
    4. Doc told me to go buy lactic acid wash for daily use
    5. Bought yogurt drinks (with probiotics) and drank one bottle every night.

    My period came a week and a few days after I did all that. Had sex a few times after my period too and still no discharge, no smell, no itch, I feel completely normal again. Hope this lasts!

    Search Viva Gel on google - it is a new medicine that targets BV biofilms and a preventive treatment after the meds that is on the works right now.
