About 4–5 months ago, I started having stomach/pelvic pain and abnormal discharge. I tested positive for BV, with multiple bacteria including Mobiluncus curtisii, Mobiluncus mulieris, Atopobium vaginae, Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella bivia, and BVAB2. I was treated with oral metronidazole.
About 2 months later, the BV returned, so I was prescribed metronidazole gel, which made me feel 100% better. Now, about 4 months later, it’s back again. I went to urgent care today and tested positive for BV, but they didn’t do another culture. They prescribed tinidazole, so I’m assuming it could be the same bacteria as before.
I also started taking Fem-Dophilus (5 billion CFU, GR-1 and RC-14). I finished the antibiotics 5 days ago, but I’m already noticing discharge again, although there’s no odor this time. I still have about half a tube of Metrogel left. I haven’t had sex recently, and my partner is currently on antibiotics as well.
I’m trying to avoid repeated doctor visits and testing because I can’t afford it. Boric acid is something I really wanted to avoid, but I’m not sure what else to do. What would be the best approach from here?

About 6 months ago, I started having stomach pains, discharge, etc. I was tested and diagnosed with BV with multiple strains of bacteria. I was given oral metronidazole.
About 2 months later, the BV came back with the same symptoms, so I was prescribed metronidazole gel. After treatment, I felt 100% better.
Now, about 5 months later, it’s back again. I went to the doctor today and was prescribed tinidazole.
Has anyone used tinidazole for recurrent BV? Did it work? Any probiotic recommendations or specific regimen that helped prevent it from coming back? Also, should my partner be treated with antibiotics as well? I’ve heard different speculations
