I use tampons & i heard they can increase risk of vaginal infections.just getting off & i'm having a fishy odor, have reoccurring vag infections, bv?

That is true: Tampons need to be changed frequently, and acidolphilus pills daily can help prevent BV but if u think u have it u need to see a gyn for cultures and antibiotics either vaginal or oral.
