A member asked:
2 vaginal cultures a month apart were pos for bv. took flagyl, no help. why would it not cure it? also, does bv cause urethra pain? that's my symptom.

Bacterial vaginosis: Recurrent/persistent BV is very common and frustrating. BV doesn't cause urethral pain. Trichomonas can mimic BV, but also should respond to metronidazole (Flagyl). Other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) are more common in women with BV; make sure you were tested. If none of these, ask about alternate BV treatments (e.g. clindamycin, boric acid). Also avoid sex or consistent condoms for a few weeks.
