FAQS about Bacterial Vaginosis treatment
What is Bacterial Vaginosis?
An excess of unfavourable bacteria in the vagina brings on a common vaginal infection called bacterial vaginosis. This condition manifests as symptoms include abnormal vaginal discharge, a fishy scent, and occasionally moderate itchiness or discomfort. Although it is not regarded as an STI, it can raise the possibility of pregnancy difficulties.
What are the causes of bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis occurs because of an overgrowth of one of several bacteria naturally present in your vagina. Usually, "good" bacteria (lactobacilli) outnumber the "bad" bacteria (anaerobes) in a healthy vagina. But if the number of anaerobes dominates the number of lactobacilli in your vagina, they upset the natural balance of microorganisms in your vagina and cause bacterial vaginosis.
Does amoxicillin treat BV?
Yes, amoxicillin can be used to treat Bacterial vaginosis; however, Metronidazole seems to be the more effective against the bacteria that cause Bacterial vaginosis. You can get a prescription for Metronidazole within minutes by downloading Your Doctors Online.

How to get rid of BV without antibiotics?
Lifestyle changes like avoiding douching, scented products and practicing good vaginal hygiene (gentle cleansing and wearing breathable underwear) can help maintain vaginal health.

Why does my BV keep coming back?
Recurrent BV can result from incomplete treatment, a disruption in bacterial balance, or the formation of protective biofilms by BV-causing bacteria.
What is the difference between bacterial vaginosis & yeast infection?
Bacterial vaginosis results from an overgrowth of harmful bacteria or anaerobes which are naturally present in the vagina. It is characterized by a thin vaginal discharge with a fishy odour. An overgrowth of Candida fungus causes a yeast infection. It is characterized by a vaginal discharge that is thick and odourless.
Can men get bacterial vaginosis?
