I am currently using metronidazole gel twice a day for bacterial vaginosis. I am supposed to use it for 5 days, but my question is, can I still have sex while I am being treated or do I have to wait a certain amount of time? It wasn’t caused by an std or anything, and my boyfriend doesnt have anything either.
yes my boyfriend went and got tested he is clean.

I’m so angry at myself!
I’m very bad at resisting it when I really want it, you know?
But now I’m scared that my treatment may not even work.
and of course during sex today, the things happened that my gyn said were caused by the vaginosis;
like the bleeding and pain.

I am not going to have sex again anytime soon.
Plus, i’m on antibiotics to treat and very severe UTI infection as well.

Am I going to be okay?
I’m worried!!

Im pregnant and this is the second time I’ve had BV this pregnancy. Right now I’m being treated for it with Flagyl as well as using monistat for a yeast infection . what my doc told me…i’m just wondering is BV (bacterial vaginosis) also a result of the overuse of antibiotics? What caused it? I haven’t had sex since the last time i was treated.

I am currently taking Metronidazole for BV, this is only my 3rd day taking it. My husband drove me to the doctor on tuesday, and all last week and the week before i had all my usual pms symptoms, I usually get irratable, gain 8-10 pounds of water weight. Back muscle aches, and depending on the month Increased or decreased appettite. This month it increasd. I usually get a lot of symptoms. I did have alot of pelvic pain and pressure, and i believe that was caused by Bacterial Vaginosis.
Anyway, before i started the antibiotics, all my symptoms were there, and my breast were very sore and swollen, and the next day after taking it it, all my symptoms just seemed to vanish, including the water weight. Which is really crazy, because i had tried everything else to get rid of the bloating and nothing seemed to work. I usually exercise a few times of week. And my cycle is always normal. I know what to expect each month and its always the same. …….
My period isn’t really late yet, but it’s due today, and I’m not sure what’s happened because all my symptoms have gone,and i usually get my period around the early morning hours or a few hours before the day I expect to get it. WHy did all my symptoms stop?
After i’m done with the antibiotics i am going to go to the doctor to see if everything has cleared up. This just made me really curious. I will wait the rest of the day to see if i get my period, there’s still plenty of time left. I was just curious about my pms just vanishing like that… as much as i hate it

I’m use to feeling miserable from the 2 weeks before my period, until atleast a few days after it’s come. It’s really strange to me.
Thanks you guys, and no i’m not on birth control by the way.

I have been seen by 3 different doctors about some vaginal bleeding I have been having the first doctor said I had a hole in my cervix that could be cancerous so that same day I got a second opinion and the second doctor said I was o.k as well as the third doctor their was’nt a hole in my cervix but I am still having the same problem I’ve also had my anual exam done and everything was fine I see my doctor on 11-27 but I just want some more opinions about what could be going on could this just be what they call cervica erosion caused from douching and trauma to the cervix. I also for the past five years had problems with bacterial vaginosis having to be treated continuosly could this also be the case.

or bacterial vaginosis if the hands have not been previously washed?

I just realized that if you don’t clean all the way deep down inside you can get bacterial vaginosis and be funky and tissy from like months…is this true, cause I thought the vagina was a self cleaning oven?

I was just diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis…I am 25 years old and have no idea what it is. Is it curable? is it going to cause any serious condition? Please let me know if you know
