@richu Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotics. An antibiotic cream or gel to use in the vagina may be given instead of antibiotic tablets by mouth.
While you're there, make sure you tell the doctor or nurse if you:
are pregnant
think you might be pregnant
are breastfeeding
These may affect the type of treatment you're given.
The causes of bacterial vaginosis are not fully understood, so it may not be possible to completely prevent it. However, you may be able to lower your risk of developing it.- Shouldn't use scented soaps and perfumed bubble bath
- Shouldn't use vaginal deodorant
- Shouldn't douche (washing or cleaning out your vagina)
- Shouldn't put antiseptic liquids in the bath
- Shouldn't strong detergent
- Should avoid triggers that you've identified yourself. Thanks
