Doctor is right: B.V can be hard to get rid of. Its not passed from your partner. Its overgrowth pf bacteria in your body. Take your medication as prescribed. Using condoms may help as sperm makes bacteria grow more. You can also use over the counter r ephresh to change the ph. In the vagina. Do mot douche is it will make things worse.
