At 53, you are at the peri-menopausal age. Due to reduced estrogen level. the vaginal lining becomes atrophic and the resistance to infection reduces. Thus, BV is a common result. Antibiotics or boric acid will not work because the cause is estrogen reduction. Without managing the cause, BV will come back as soon as you stop using the antibiotics.
