What Causes Recurring Bacterial Vaginosis?
I have had Bacterial Vaginosis return four times over the course of 8 months. I used antibiotic gels twice, which temporarily cured it, but the third time i got it, the symptoms were worse (more itching and some bleeding occurred too). Is there a reason why it keeps coming back? And might there be another cause for the bleeding?

Hello,
I think you are having a bacterial infection which is not getting cured by antibacterial creams. I think you may need to do a vaginal smear to check for the type of infection. You may need to take oral antibiotics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
