A member asked:
What can help prevent recurrence of bv after being retreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Look to environment: What's changed recently in your life? Your soap? Detergent? Diet? New condom? Exercise? Lubricant? Tampon? Likely there was some agent or event that changed the flora of your vagina such that your ph elevated and BV grew. Trying to figure out what may have triggered in 1st place is best. You can try probiotics (like luvena). Eat healthy diet, exercise, don't put anything foreign in vagina.Best!
