What should I do for lingering Bacterial Vaginosis?
I’ve taken several courses of metriozanole, used aci get, used a hydrogen peroxide douche for 1-2 weeks, inserted lacto bacillis capsules, washed with summer’s eve, ingested lacto bacillis capsules.
I’ve been to the doctor at least 30 times. I’m thinking about using an acidic douche next. I’ve taken folic acid by mouth. Nothing appears to be working. I don’t want to quit my job because of the smell.
What can I do?

Metronidazole makes it sound non-bacterial; that would usually be prescribed for Trichomonas, which also produces a pretty foul-smelling discharge. Folic acid and this or that rinse and lactobacillus capsules are not going to wipe out an infection.
If your doctor’s done a culture in one of those 30 visits, they ought to know what bug they’re dealing with and what drugs would work.
