Ok, so ever since I had my son 7 years ago I get reoccurring vaginosis everytime I have sex. I had the same partner for 5 years when I had my child, and up until about 2 or 3 years ago. I am 25 now but the first time I got BV was when I was 19. I was having sex with the same person. My whole life though, my vagina has smelt horrible after sex with him. He was also treated the first 3 times at the same time as me, but eventually since it kept coming back anyways the doc stopped giving me two doses, one being for him. I had sex with someone else 3 years ago, still got it as soon as I had sex. Using condoms does not matter either of anything it makes it worse. It also takes months to show up in a culture, i will KNOW I have it by the way it smells and feels but they won't treat me until six months go by, of getting tests every month until it shows up. I also do not have much discharge like a lot of posts I have read on here from women who have BV all I really have the odor and slight irritation. Now after taking flagyl and clendamyacin numerous times, they gave me the boric acid/probiotic capsules from the compound pharmacy. Seemed ok the 5 days I used them but as soon as I stopped my vagina smells horribly soured, i have to change my underwear constantly now I honestly feel like it made it worse. Help?!? I have been tested for STDs a million times, I wash my underwear in hot water and vinegar, I never ever douche, I am doing everything right. As far as diet goes, I dont eat poorly. I have kept a log and had my gyno look at it and she said that shouldn't be causing bv over and over. I have also been taking femdopholus probiotics for years. They help, I mean if I dont have them the bv will come back quicker but it still comes back anyways. And they are expensive.
