What Can I Do To Lower My PH Before The BV Comes Back For Which Antibiotics Are Taken?
I recently had BV and took antibiotics to get rid of it. Last night I had protected sex with my husband and this morning I took a PH paper to see if my PH was out of whack and it was about a 7. I was wondering what I can do to lower my PH before the BV comes back again.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The most accurate prevention/treatment for this problem would be a change in your diet. Consume more alkaline foods and avoid the acidic food. This change in itself should greatly help. You can also add hydrogen peroxide or vinegar douches to your regimen but only after consultation with a doctor for the same.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
