Bacterial Vaginosis

I've probably had BV at least five times. The first (that I know of) was probably about three years ago. I've had both the pills and the gel prescribed to me. They work but it always seems to come back. I got a pap smear at my 6 week postpartum visit and I now have it again. :( Anyone else dealing with this issue constantly reoccuring? Have you found anything that helps or works? Also, I am planning to get the Mirena soon and have heard it can make Bacterial Vaginosis happen more frequently. Anyone have experience with this?

    I never had bv or a yeast infection until I got the Mirena and it was horrible. I had it every month for 4 years. Then when I had it taken out I stopped getting them. Then after a year I decided to try it again and I had bv within a month again. I know my doctors always say to wear loose cotton underwear & no underwear at all to bed if you get bv a lot Acidophilus & probiotics I believe are supposed to help? I use the pH balance vagisil wash which helped too since I'm really sensitive to other soaps. I also read somewhere that RepHresh helps especially with bv but I've personally never tried it. So maybe ask your doctor about it. Good luck! I know it definitely sucks to deal with that

    I'm not sure but maybe have your DH get treated also just to be safe. Maybe that could be a way it's coming back? I'm not sure how BV works or what it is exactly.
