Recurrent Bacterial Vaginosis: A Case Report and Review of Management

Abstract

Recurrent and refractory bacterial vaginosis is a potentially hazardous condition that affects the age-bearing population of women. We report the case of a 33-year-old patient presenting with recurrent bacterial vaginosis after attempting multiple regimens for the past three years. The patient had a history significant for ectopic pregnancy and multiple sexually transmitted diseases. Successfully managing this condition in the female population is crucial to prevent uncommon complications. Furthermore, introducing healthy vaginal microbiota can be the best course of action amongst patients with long-term recurrence of bacterial vaginosis.
