Specializes in Infectious Disease

Unfortunately there are no clear answers. Recurrent BV is very common and prevention can be difficult. Avoiding sex for a few weeks often helps; or if complete abstinence isn't practical, consistent condom use. Vaginal boric acid often is helpful; it needs a prescription and a pharmacist capable of formulating the capsules. Find a gyn who subspecializes in infectious diseases. Good luck.
