Does this sound like BV? Urine frequency?

Hi
I had BV back in January, after having sex I feel the condom irritated things (It said it was for sensitive - but it had a scent) I went to sexual health who did full checks and told me right away. That I had BV. Got an antibiotic which I took and period arrived same time but afterwards symptoms were gone.
I didn’t have the typical burning or smell that i thought was asssociated more like tingle sensation in ovary
This time few days after period (April) I started getting a pain in my pelvic/ovary region. It would just come and go sharp shooting sensation lasting secs. I started upping my water and took dmannose but wasn’t shifting. Seen my GP who said some protein in urine and he’d treat for a UTI anyway as I have recurrent UTIs. My urine got sent off and came back negative. I took the antibiotics trimeporim? 7 day course and symptoms still there where the last few days i’ve felt bladder pressure, frequency, nausea so I went to sexual health who has done a full check. They have said the lab it has came up with BV,
can bv ever present this way?
(frequency, bladder discomfort, pelvic pain) I’m now worried too why its back! :(

normally I’d associate frequency with uti so unsure whether its still possibly uti

Do you always use condoms, and did your partner have treatment for BV?

yes, sometimes you need more than one course of antibiotics. It may be it did not clear the first time.

The last time used condoms (which think set off) but no longer with them. So this time I’m not sure if period brought it on?

I definitely had felt better since January then for it to appear just few weeks ago!
I keep trying to see if BV can cause this frequency :(

Damn this was around January I had treatment and everything seemed fine, then lately two weeks ago it began with this pain and frequency.
so do you reckon that could be bv with the symptoms:(
