Posting here for traffic and apologies for tmi

I often have a fishy smell down there especially after sex
I know this is probably BV but I've had antibiotics and it keeps coming back. There must be a natural way to treat it or something I can do to prevent it?

It's especially bad if we don't use a condom (on hormonal patch) but still happens even with condom. Initially I thought it was some weird sensitivity to my partners sperm

For years I suffered thrush after long term antibiotic use but I've not been on them for ages now.

I take a daily probiotic. I've tried showering with and without femfresh products

Please help!

Try garlic tablets. Also, if you take a fish oil supplement it might be that, not BV.

Semen smells a bit fishy so it may be that after sex you're just smelling the semen residue.

Any pain/itching? Can you go back to your GP, pharmacist or local sexual health clinic?

No pain or itching, just the odour. Need to restore the balance
