A member asked:
Any suggestions or alternatives to clearing up a bv recurring infection besides flagyl or creams. i am having no such luck and keep coming .

Good question: It may have to do with the change in the normal bacteria population that inhabits the vaginal ( typically lactobacillus) . In bv, the population has shifted to other types of bacteria that produce the 'amine' like odor. Recommend seeing your gynecologist to discuss alternatives.
