RepHresh: Also probiotics. Changes in the way we process food have decreased good bacteria which produce acid in the vagina to keep bad bacteria under control. RepHresh is a gel placed in the vagina with a mild acid that will limit growth of bad bacteria. Fastest method without a prescription may be to insert plain yogurt into the vagina to get a high count of good bacteria.

Nothing: You need to get a 2nd opinion consult if your present MD has run out of treatment options. There is nothing over the counter that works permanently to treat bacterial vaginitis.
