Why do i keep getting bacterial vaginosis?

Can be difficult: Difficultto say, if u wear a thong then give that a break. It's like a wick going from back to front. Metro gel vaginal after intercourse or 2x per week usually hels with recurrent vaginosis, the other thing, not likely, is to make sure it's not trichomonas getting passed back and forth. I doubt it.

Alternative Treatmnt: Intravaginal boric acid, a 600 mg capsule once nightly for 14 days may be able to help with your problem. This medication is not FDA-approved for this purpose and must be made by a compounding pharmacy. Boric acid can be fatal if swallowed rather than used intravaginally, so be careful around children. Still it's a worthwhile option when all the antibiotics don't work.
