So embarrassing but I swear nearly every month I end up with bacterial vaginosis
I don't know what to do 😭
I wash every day sometimes morning and night
I'm so
Embarrassed to go to me gp but feel like I need to now
I can't afford to keep buying treatment every single month and I want to know why it's constantly reoccurring

For me it was my copper coil! As soon as I had that removed it stopped and has never come back since. I also tried boric acid suppositories which was good at keeping it at bay whilst I still had my coil so maybe they could help?
Hope you find something that works for you x

I had two courses of antibiotics because the first didn't work but thank goodness it did clear up in the end. Don't be embarrassed please go to the GP. I know I felt absolutely awful but I was so glad I did.

Be careful how you wash, ensure its not douching and use sensitive products specifically designed for that area or at least with a low pH.

I've read that taking daily probiotics helps.
