BV help

Im going out of my mind thinking there must be some help out there for this?
Iv been with my partner almost a year and in most of that time iv had BV and also UTIs, iv since found out the UTIs cause the BV, we have a very good sex life, pretty much daily and i know its definatly his cum that is the cause bcos when either him or I have been away/apart i have no issues.
Drs have given me long term antibiotics for UTI and apart from metro (currently taking 2nd course in 3 months) they are saying no long term help for the BV..i wouldnt need the long term antibiotics for the UTI if the BV would stay away though??
Iv tried every single over the counter pessary and gel, but i cant keep on like this forever.. all STI test etc are coming back clear.

My partner said he is willing to take the antibiotics if the drs prescribe them for him (he doesnt like taking any tablets at all) BUT drs etc wont treat men for BV

I do all the usual thinks of advice, shower/wash after, wee, no soaps ect im really just at the end of my teather and this week have felt so low and down to the point where i am actually thinking about ending the relationship so any advice would be amazing
Thank you

Hi,
Have you tried Multi-gyn Actigel vaginal gel.
It has been a life saver for me.

No, iv never even heard of it.
How often were you using it?
