Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Bacterial vaginosis needs a vigorous treatment with antibacterial like high dose azithromycin. The vaginal cream you are using is mainly for a fungal infection.
These infections are notorious for recurrence if not treated properly.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
