whitish/yellowish vaginal discharge with odor?

I have been battling a whitish/yellowish discharge that has a bad odor for the past six months. I went to the doctor, had a vaginal smear done and was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. I've been on the following medications: Flagyl, Clindesse, Metro Gel and Clindamycin. Symtoms subsided while taking these medications. Once the course of medication was complete, the symtoms came back again. I also tried taking Probiotic Acidophilus for a period of time. Nothing seems to get rid of this bacterial infection. The doctors are getting tired of hearing from me. I am going out of my mind.

One doctor suggested cervical cryosurgery (freezing the cervix to kill bad cells), I've done some research on it and I am not sure that will cure bacteria vaginosis. It's more or less for cervical cancer. I even wrote to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention because I really don't know what the hell to do. Any suggestions?

Update:

I've been tested for all STD's, Vaginal smears and blood tests. All tests came back negative.

    Girl I am going through the same thing, I tried CLindessse and nothing. I had my cervix cauterized about a month ago because of HPV and thats when my BV started. I was also told to douch with Betadine but nothing. I have an appt tomorrow for my BV, lets see what happens.

    GOOD LUCK

    you shouldnt need a cervical freeze for bacterial vaginosis, that is for pre cancer cells or genital warts, or hpv. the flagyl can and should work for the vaginosis. if you are currently sexually active or dating someone make sure he is not reinfecting you. you may also want to re evaluate if your partner is being faithful to you.

    OMG!!! that is serious! Personally I would avoid the surgery.

    Not to fill your head with crap but I was diagnosed with this before while I was dating a long time boyfriend.When we broke up it went away. Apparently he had been having unprotected sex with two other girls and the infection came from one of them.

    Good luck, hope you get better real soon!

    You can try RepHresh Gel. In one study, the majority of women with bacterial vaginosis found that their infection had cleared after using it. You can get it at Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, etc.
