What Is The Natural Way To Get Rid Of Bacterial Vaginosis?

I need a natural way to get rid of BV... I don't have any STD's.. It gets real bad after sex with my boyfriend. I've tried everything besides boric acid. My friend is a nurse and said you can compound them yourself. FLAGYL MAKES IT COME BACK... Terrible antibiotic. HELP

the most natural thing to try first is to avoid all substances including soaps, lotions, detergents etcetera, around your vagina for two weeks or so. doing nothing and allowing your body to heal itself is one of the best things you can do. you can also try eating yogurt, but it is not clear if that works. if you still have symptoms, you can talk to your doctor about using other tteaenta besides flagyl such as clindamycin. good luck!
