Fast, Effective Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment Online

What is bacterial vaginosis?

BV happens when there’s an imbalance in your vaginal bacteria. Normally, healthy bacteria called lactobacilli keep your vagina slightly acidic. But if this balance shifts — due to factors like periods, new sexual partners, or using harsh soaps — bad bacteria can overgrow, causing BV.

BV is not an STI, but it can increase your risk of catching sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia if left untreated.

Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis

About half of women with BV don’t notice any symptoms. When they do occur, they can include:

• Thin white or grey vaginal discharge
• Strong fishy smell, especially after sex
• Mild irritation (though itching is uncommon)

If you experience these signs, seek treatment to avoid complications.

Why treat BV promptly?

Untreated BV can:

• Increase your risk of contracting STIs like HIV, chlamydia, and gonorrhoea.

• Cause complications during pregnancy, including premature birth and low birth weight.

• Lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if bacteria travel to the uterus or fallopian tubes.

Starting effective treatment now helps protect your reproductive health.

How is BV diagnosed?

Doctors typically diagnose BV based on your symptoms, a vaginal pH test, and, if needed, a sample of vaginal discharge.
You can also get diagnosed with a home BV test kit, or by visiting a sexual health clinic or GP.

Side effects of BV treatments

Mild side effects can include:

• Stomach upset (metronidazole tablets)

• Vaginal irritation or thrush (with creams/gels)

• Metallic taste in the mouth (oral treatments)

These are usually short-lived. Seek medical advice if you develop severe reactions like rashes, breathing difficulties, or persistent nausea.

How to prevent BV recurrence

You can lower your risk of BV coming back by:

• Avoiding douching or vaginal deodorants
• Using condoms during sex
• Limiting your number of sexual partners
• Washing underwear with gentle, non-perfumed detergents

FAQs

Can BV clear up on its own?

Yes, but symptoms often persist or come back. Treating BV reduces discomfort and the risk of complications.

Can men get BV?

No — BV affects the vagina only.

Is BV contagious?

BV is not considered an STI, but sexual activity can trigger or worsen it.
