I went to the doctor about 3 weeks ago and she told me i had bacterial vaginosis. She prescribed me Flagyl and I took it for 7 days. It worked for a week but now I think its back. I have the same discharge and there’s a slight fishy smell (however not as strong as it used to be) and itching . The itching is horrible! I even have 2 fissures down there and it stings to pee sometimes? What should i do for this?

I want to try the tampon dipped in yogurt home remedy? Has anyone tried this?!

PS: I probably will go to the doctor but I’ve done so much research on BV and many women just keep getting it no matter how many antibiotics they are prescribed.

Any advice for me?
Thank you
Btw Im 17 and i’m not sexually active. I hate having this because it brings my self esteem down, its horrible and uncomfortable.

im 19, and ive been battling this infection for a couple years. it just doesnt want to go away. i went to the doctor, got prescribed a vaginal insert antibiotic called metornidazole, it didnt work. i didnt really notice much of a difference. it worked for a little while and it came right back, it wasnt even a month. i figured why go back to the doctor, antibiotics dont work and they dont work for a lot of people. this infection is really hard to get rid of.

i tried an over the counter BV treatment. its called vh essentials bacterial vaginosis treatment. it worked great once i first started using it. smell was completely gone, so was discharge. but now as im finishing the treatment, the smell is coming back and i have no idea why. im worried that every time i get off of it, it will just come right back.

im thinking about buying another box of the over the counter stuff because there are no side effects or anything and it keeps the stink away. but i dont want to be on this stuff forever.

are there any probiotics i can take that are good for bv? or any natural remedies? i will go back to the doctor if it gets out of hand but i see it as pointless because theyll just give me the same old antibiotic again.
