Recurring BV & Thrush

Hi Ladies

I am one year postpartum, and keep getting recurring BV & Thrush. I’ve had antibiotics but it still comes back. My doctor has suggested some pro-biotics such as Kefir or Boric Acid suppositories- I just wanted to see if anyone has tried them or recommends any other treatments ? Thank you

Just be careful and make sure which you are treating .. antibiotics for BV will feed Thrush and make it worse... l was in a vicious cycle.. wasn't until l started using estrogen cream that l became clear of both
. But l am 68 and had total hysterectomy age 38.
( Not used what you have been suggested.. ).
