The vagina has a balance of bacteria and yeast living inside of it. When the pH balance gets a little out of whack, the bacteria or the yeast may reproduce more than what is normal and overpower the other, upsetting the balance. Bacteria vaginosis is what happens when the bacteria overpowers the yeast.
Having sex can tip the pH balance of your vagina in the direction of bacterial vaginosis. If this possibility makes sense in your situation, consider not having sex for a while.
What kind of soap do you use? Most gynocologists say that a woman´s vagina doesn´t need to be cleaned with soap. They recommend washing the outer hairy part with soap and rinsing the inner part with water.
If you do not use an antibacterial soap, you could consider using it to see if it helps. The first time I used antibacterial soap, my itching went away, but I later got a yeast infection. In your case, killing some bacteria and increasing the amount of yeast in your vagina would be a good thing. After a few days my yeast infection went away and my vagina adjusted to being washed with antibacterial soap.
Maybe your gyno can give you a stronger treatment, or one that is safe for you to take for a longer period of time, or who knows, maybe you need to put some yeast into your vagina, but I am not sure how that could be done. Maybe find out what holistic remedies there are for bacterial vaginosis.
