"Why am I having recurring bacterial vaginosis?" this is what I asked myself all the time. I would go to the doctor like I was supposed to I thought and let them put me on antibiotics, the symptoms would clear up for a short time. I would think it's gone and it would be right back. Many women have gone through this same scenario and suffered needlessly.

I used to think that if you cleared up the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis it should be gone. It was nothing like a recurring yeast infection.

Actually the reason you get recurring bacterial vaginosis and candida infections usually stem from the same thing, antibiotics. The same antibiotics that cure your symptoms are also leaving you vulnerable to getting one again.

Antibiotics are great for the immediate clearing of your symptoms but it's just a matter of time before you get recurring bacterial vaginosis for some of us. I mean antibiotics are excellent at killing bacteria but they’re not picky about which ones. So they kill the "good" bacteria as well as the "bad" which doesn't leave you much defense against getting another infection, sometimes almost immediately.

I fought the same thing for years until I discovered the trick here is to cure this naturally without antibiotics. It’s not as hard as you might think just find a good program and follow it.

With antibiotics being the main reason for recurring bacterial vaginosis there are other reason that could be giving you a problem.

Anything that may be changing your balance of "good" bacteria to the "bad" could be a cause. Things like douching, perfumed soaps, new intercourse partners or smoking just to name a few.

Having a healthy immune system and the proper balance of "good" bacteria is the best way of avoiding recurring bacterial vaginosis. If your immune system has been weakened for some reason this could also be a reason you are suffering from an infection.

Bacterial vaginosis is very common with an estimated 29% of all women suffering from this at some point in their lives. Some women have tried to cure it their selves with over the counter treatments for a yeast infection. This is another very common mistake I hear of.

A yeast infection treatment might reduce your symptoms of bacterial vaginosis but ultimately will make it worse. Even though the symptoms of a yeast infection and bacterial infection can seem similar their treatments are quite different. Treating Bacterial vaginosis the wrong way is probably the number two reason a recurring problem. However it's really not recurring bacterial vaginosis it was just never cured
