A member asked:

What to do if i get yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis at least once a year, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Predisposing Factors: Make sure you are not using steroids or broad spectrum antibiotics when this vaginitis occurs but also have your blood sugar and hgba1c checked for diabetes. Tight occlusive clothing, heat and moisture can contribute to your problems.
