What else can I do to ensure I stop this cycle of recurrent bacterial vaginosis?

To help prevent recurrent episodes of vaginosis, you can take several measures. Avoid using scented soaps or feminine hygiene products. Clean from front to back after using the toilet. Wear breathable cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing. Be cautious with flavored condoms or spermicidal products. If these steps don't work and you experience four or more episodes in a year, seek medical evaluation. Using probiotics may also be helpful, but their effectiveness is not fully proven.
