What can i do to be able to take a bath and not get bv?

What?: Taking a bath should not be giving you bv. You need to discuss this with the doctor managing you. Bv can be passed back to you after treatment by your sexual partner who is colonized with the organisms you have been trying to eradicate. This is not an std, altho sex can lead to recurrences. Talk to your doctor. Good luck.

Try: Try a bleach bath-1/2 cup in full tub of water soak for 10 minutes. Can do 2 to 3 times a week.
