Question 1

what can help prevent recurrence of bv after being retreated?

Accepted Answer

Look to environment: What's changed recently in your life? Your soap?  Detergent? Diet? New condom? Exercise? Lubricant? Tampon? Likely there was some agent or event that changed the flora of your vagina such that your ph elevated and BV grew.  Trying to figure out what may have triggered in 1st place is best. You can try probiotics (like luvena).  Eat healthy diet, exercise, don't put anything foreign in vagina.Best!

Question 2

how could i get rid of bv?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotic: An antibiotic would treat it. See a physician.

Question 3

a  natural to get rid of bv?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, none known: Unfortunately, no "natural" treatments have been shown to help BV. Probiotics make sense in theory, and there is a lot of folklore about yogurt and other dairy products, but they rarely help. You'll need science-based medical treatment, usually metronidazole or tinidazole. Also need tests for other STDs, esp. chlamydia and gonorrhea, which often go along with BV. See your doctor. Good luck.

Question 4

how to get rid of bv for good?

Accepted Answer

Hard to do.: Normal vaginal ph is 4.0 & unfortunately for women, normal ph of menstrual blood is 7.4 & the ph of semen is 8.0. The vagina is warm, wet & dark & raising the ph invites bacterial overgrowth. The best thing to avoid overgrowth is to reset the vaginal ph to 4 weekly using rephresh, plain yogurt douching or recolonizataion of lactobacilli which fight off bacterial overgrowth.

Cultured: This can be frustrating...  Have a specimen cultured to make sure treatment is adequate;  aometimes partners also need to be treated.  Also, sometimes older, lesser known/used treatments that were used before today's antibiotics became popular, will work well.  One such is a vaginal suppository known as boric acid.
