Bacterial Vaginosis?

So, last month I went to my doc because my boyfriend smelled some odor ‘down there’. I was told I had bacterial vaginosis. No, it is not sexually transmitted, and my boyfriend is the first guy I’ve been with in a long time.

I took my meds they gave me and the problem seemed to be fixed but, the symptoms started again. I went back for a follow-up to be sure if it had gone away or not. It either did and I got it again or it has not gone away at all…

My boyfriend and I don’t use condoms. Pregnancy is not a concern and we have both tested clean for STDs, so we don’t wish to use protection.

What is going on and why does this persist? I am a VERY clean person and I don’t understand why it is still going on? Any advice, tips or experience?

Please, no sarcastic comments.

Bacterial Vaginosis?

I have had bacterial vaginosis before and the medicine they give me has only worked for a couple weeks at a time. Then I have to start all over again. I’m getting tired of the nasty taste and the upset stomach. Is there anything I can do as for over the counter that wont have such horrible side effects? I dont sleep around, but I am getting completely embarresed by this. It doesnt even help for me to shower a couple times a day.
