Q. Is it true that vitamin supplements help with recurrent vaginal infection?
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.
