i've been having bacterial vaginosis for most of my sex life… which is several years. i keep getting this bacterial infection eventhough i use a condom. i get treated for it by doctor's presciption of metronidazole(flagyl)… then it would go away then after 5 or 6 months… i get it again. my bf got tested and he doesn't hv any infection. i thought maybe i was allergic to latex condom so i switched to lambskin condoms… but resently got BV again. i'm considering not having sex until i find out why i keep getting BV eventhough i use protection everytime. i shower everday. i wipe from front to back. i even wash my underwear by hand w/ soap then toss it in the washer along w/ my other clothes and dry them in the dryer. i wear a pantiliner to keep the area dry. i just don't understand why i keep having this chronic problem. i have an appt with a obgyn doc to discuss this further. anyone who have had this problem and a solution please help. thank you so much in advance.

I had this problem too. Make sure that you refrain from taking baths (only showers), make sure if your bf is going to touch you in your "area" that he has washed his hands with warm water and soap, if you use toys make sure they are sterilized and put away from dust and dirt after every use, stop wearing pantyliner everyday and let yourself "breath", don't wear tight fitting clothes and only cotton underwear. Unfortunately a lot of women are susceptible to BV and we just have to be very careful to try and prevent it. Hope some of this helps, good luck

Recurrent ‘Bacterial Vaginosis’ can be very traumatic to live with. Sometimes after taking all the creams, potions and antibiotics the problem still comes back time after time. After suffering with recurrent bacterial vaginosis (BV) for nearly 3 years I eventually found a totally natural cure. The claim was to be clear of bacterial vaginosis in 3 days. Imagine my delight when I found the claims to be totally true. If you have bacterial vaginosis for the first time or have had recurrent bacterial vaginosis for some time this is something you really should consider looking at Bacterial Vaginosis Help – The 3 Day Cure

I'm only, 20 I have horrible vaginal dryness, chronic BV. What do I do?
