Some options: Bv notorious for being recurrent. Avoid intercourse or use condoms always during treatment period. Probiotics such as lactobacillus Reuteri rc 14 may be helpful very new study from melbourne australia suggests estrogen containing contraceptives or hormones reduce recurrent infection rates and that the idea of treating sexual partners should be considered again (cdc had said no help before).
