Naturopaths may recommend treatment with two douches (a wash used inside the vagina), alternating one in the morning and one at bedtime. One douche contains the herbs calendula (Calendula officinalis), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), and echinacea (Echinacea spp.); the other douche contains plain yogurt with live acidophilus cultures. The herbal douche helps to kill the protozoa while the yogurt reestablishes healthy flora in the vagina. The use of antibiotics is a contributing factor to recurrent

Go to the doctor and get the right diagnosis and the correct treatment.

Usually metronidazole cream is used first. If that doesn't work, Flagyl, which is a systemic form of metronidazole in oral (pill) form, is attempted. If they are still resistant (and this is often the case), other antibiotics will be used.
