Question : Long story short is that I can't get rid of my bacterial vaginosis. I've tried homeopathic and Rx gel and the infamous Flagel. All to no avail. Because of my profession and my love for research, I wondered about Candida overgrowth. I found an eating plan but it's hard to stick to. Any suggestions??

Brief Answer:
Get a swab culture

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

None of the treatment taken by you is effective.

You need to get a vaginal swab culture first of the area to know which organism it is, whether bbacteria or candida.

Then accordingly you have to take candida or clotrimazole pessary.
