What can i do for bacterial vaginosis that is reoccuring?

No douching: Recurrent BV infections occur when the normal bacteria that live in the vagina aren't present, so the BV bacteria can cause an infection. Don't douche, as that decreases normal bacteria. Treat the infection with an antibiotic such as metrogel. Between infections try to normalize the vaginal environment with yeast arrest every day for 4-6 wks.

Alternatives: Intravaginal boric acid, a 600 mg capsule once nightly for 14 days may be able to help with your problem. This medication is not FDA-approved for this purpose and must be made by a compounding pharmacy. Boric acid can be fatal if swallowed rather than used intravaginally, so be careful around children. Still it's a worthwhile option when all the antibiotics don't work.
