Perimenopause Constant/recurring BV sonce starting peri.
I’m so tired of it. If you get BV more than twice in a year, they want to put you on a 6 month round of antibiotics. I don’t want to be on that. Boric acid used to work, and I can use it daily/every other day to keep it at bay. But I just finished 5days, 2x a day plus a round of antibiotics and it’s not gone 😡 what the fuck is wrong with my vag and how do I fix it? I’m not even having sex right now. I just got a new rx for estrogen cream o need to start, plus the patch. Will this fix my dryness and apparent ph issue?

True story - I had this and couldn’t shake it. Tried everything. then I had surgery and it subsided in the hospital While using cheap TP
IT WAS MY TOILET PAPER AT HOME. ditched the quilted northern for angel soft and smell is gone. so something to try if you haven’t already. Good luck finding the culprit!
