Hi doctor,
I got married seven months back and this is the fourth time she caught bacterial vaginosis (BV). She never had any symptoms before marriage. We have consulted a gynecologist all the four times. She will prescribe antibiotics and other stuff and that successfully treat her for some time. I have done some research on the internet and found vitamin B complex help many women. Is that true?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please get her sugar levels checked. It may seem a bit weird, but at times the main reason for recurrent vaginal infection could be low immune status. Yes, taking vitamin supplements will help her boost her immunity. You can discuss this with her doctor and get started with multivitamins. Ask her to wear cotton panties and loose lowers. She needs to maintain personal hygiene and take plenty of fluids. My advice is to wash the private parts with normal tap water every time you use the washroom. And, should avoid using vaginal douches and creams.
