Look into boric acid suppositories. Don't keep taking antibiotics. A lot of women that suffered like you or even worse found relief also make sure you're taking high quality probiotics as well as fermented foods like sauerkraut etc

Whats happening is your natural flora is growing out of control as there is a possible pH imbalance and recurring BV is not uncommon. There are treatment programs but if you partners pH is causing this your doc could advise you.

thank you, I don't douche, almost don't eat sugar, wear only cotton underwear, wash from front to back, do not have STDs. I just feel very miserable and depressed because of being ill all my life and I cant have intercourse because of it

Hi, we dont advise doctors but will say that a common cause of BV is douching.
