Specializes in Infectious Disease

Fem Doph won't help: Recurrent bacterial vaginosis is a common and often very frustrating problem. No probiotics have proved effective in treating or preventing it. Trying this product won't hurt, but probably won't help. Ask your doctor about preventive treatment to stay ahead of it, e.g. vaginal boric acid capsules once a week. If your doc isn't familiar w/ this, see a gyn who subspecializes in infectious diseasees.
