I've been suffering with Bacterial Vaginitis for what seems like forever. I was prescribed Metronidazole (sp?) and the infection didn't go away. I went back to the doctor for more tablets, and although the symptoms seemed to clear up, after I had my period, they were back with a vengeance. This is really getting me down, and I'm starting to doubt I even have BV.

To clarify, I get a greyish browny watery discharge, and my period is always much heavier, and really smells. Does anyone have any advice to sort this out? I read somewhere it might help to put natural yoghurt on a tampon - I did try this, but how long would I have to keep doing that to have any effect? Would just eating natural yoghurt help? One thing's for sure, I can't face taking those tablets again. Each time, they made me fill ill for the entire course. I'd rather try something else. Being from England, does anyone have any ideas what other ideas I could try?
