For most women, bacterial vaginosis is a common bacterial vaginal infection that usually clears after a week of antibiotic treatment. If the infection is still recurrent after 6 months, this could indicate that your natural vaginal pH is too alkaline and you may want to restore this back to the natural mildly acidic environment which then makes you less susceptible to bacterial vaginal infections. This is because, in the natural mildly acidic environment, bacterial and fungal organisms are unable to grow.
Ways of achieving this would be to consume daily oral probiotics (friendly bacterial which gives the vagina its acidity) and use special feminine hygiene washes which restores the acid pH and contains lactobacilli (friendly bacteria). It would be advisable to see a gynaecologist to retest the vaginal discharge to ensure that it is "only" bacterial vaginosis rather than some other bacterial infection or concurrent fungal infection which can happen.
