Reoccurring infections

So around 4 months postpartum I noticed something was wrong down there and thought it was a uti. I went and got checked and they said it wasn’t but prescribed me the antibiotics for it anyway. Kept going back and forth until I went to my gynecologist and found out it was BV . I’ve had it once before years ago and got it treated and it went away. This time I don’t know why it keeps coming back but it is so frustrating. I don’t know what keeps triggering it but I noticed after a few times of having sex with my partner that’s when the symptoms would come back 😭 This is now like the 3rd time of getting the symptoms again. I was taking probiotics and antibiotics and that was the only thing that seemed to work to get rid of it but do any of you have any recommendations or have similar experiences? Besides that, I’m not too sure what could be causing it but I’m just tired of dealing with it. I did abstain from sex the last time I was treating it and will have to do the same now.

**My partner had also went to go get checked but they said everything was normal **

What is BV ? I also have infections on & off since about 2 months down there and it’s just so annoying and painful. I’m getting an ultrasound on the 7th of October, but I am honest, I don’t know what to do and it’s affecting my sex life and relationship. So yeah, no advice but I feel with you!

It is bacterial vaginosis ! Not really a sti as it can really be cause by many different factors but it causes itching down there and overall discomfort . It can feel painful during sex after while or just in general. I’m so sick of it
