On my last visit to my gyno, I was told I had bacterial vaginosis. He prescibed me some gel called Metronidazole and was directed to inject it inside of me once a day for five days. Fortunately, it cured me in an instant.

Unfortunately, I got it again after having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. So, I injected more of my prescription and it cured me. After another unprotected sexual encounter with him, I got it AGAIN. This cycle continues to go on at least two more times until I had enough. So, me and my boyfriend finally started having protected sex and it never came back.

Can someone please tell me what’s going on? I read online that you CAN only get bacterial vaginosis from another woman and too many sexual partners, not from just one man.

I’m wondering does this have to do with my boyfriend being uncircumsized? I’m probably thinking he doesn’t wash good enough underneath the extra skin causing an accumalation of bacteria in there. Is that possible? Should have my boyfriend tested for anything?

I have a horrible vaginal odor and discharge. I have tried every remedy out there. I have been to the doctor been put on antibiotics and they did not help. I have tried all of the holistic and over the counter remedies. All pap smears and tests came back negative for infection and all were normal readings. I am extremely eembarrassedand very worried. I have no itching and it smells like onion at times and other times either sour or musty. The discharge is often thick and almost mucus like in consistency and clarity. I had an ultrasound and there are no cysts or abnormal growths. I eat very natural foods stay away from processed foods and I eat lots of yogurt and take an acidophilus supplement. What could possibly be wrong? Can someone please help me??? My boyfriend is coming home in a matter of weeks from Iraq and I am extremely worried, disgusted and eembarrassed
FYI – I do not eat onions, leaks, shallots, garlic or anything of the sort so I know the smell is not from my food. Also, I drink lots of water throughout the day, more then what is recommended. This all started about 7 months into my pregnancy with my daughter… she is now 8 months old and no my boyfriend has not expierienced it and I have not been in a sexual relationship in almost a year and a half. This is very serious and a huge worry to me.
