Chronic BV: It is important to establish a correct diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis by culture and other tests. If you do indeed have BV and it comes back very quickly after treatment then there are a couple of things that your gyn can do: do a prolonged treatment with weekly Metrogel . I strongly recommend that you get on a probiotic daily like provella capsules. Activia yogurt , etc.

See below: After treatment with metronidazole, Clindamycin or tinidazole, try oral and/or vaginal lactobacillus containing probiotic preparations which have had variable success. Consider having your sexual partner treated with Metronidazole or clindamycin. Recurrent disease has been associated with colonization of the sex partner, inconsistant condom use and has been halved with estrogen contraceptives.
