What r reasons y women have recurrent bv?this is the 3rd time in 3mths i've had bv. prescribed metrogel and it keeps coming back no sex in 2mths

Make sure u get: A culture that can check for many bacteria and there can be many that can cause BV up to 6 different ones and u could have other bacteria that can cause a discharge, and i rec pro-biotics to help prevent bv, and u want to avoid heat and humidity in that area meaning if u work out get into dry clothes asap even if u can't shower for a while and sometimes the bacteria can be resistant to the meds.
