Bacterial Vaginosis

Hello! This is my first time in this sub, so I'm sorry if this isn't the proper way to complete a post: Last September I found a gynecologist and went in for an appointment due to itchiness and foul odor down there. She told me I have recurring BV, and there's no way to cure it. So she told me to purchase boric acid suppositories and begin using those. I stopped going to this gynecologist because I simply didn't feel listened to, or that my issue was solved. I haven't found another yet, and i'm still using boric acid weekly. I went to a check up last week and was prescribed flucanozole, as I was told I have a yeast infection. Unfortunately my recurring BV slipped my mind and I didn't mention this to the doctor. I found out I shouldn't be taking boric acid while using flucanozole, and after doing more researched learned that I shouldn't be using boric acid at all after this long period of time. Apparently flucanazole will not cure my BV and now i'm wondering if anything will? I'm asking here because i've been having a hard time finding another gyno that takes my insurance and this has been going on for about 2 years at this point. I just want to feel clean and confident in my body and it feels like nothing i'm doing is helping. What can I do in the meantime until I find a doctor?? submitted by /u/mmorrrgaann [link] [comments]
