My husband is a lab technician and due to some mild discomfort we discovered i have bv ( bacteria vaginosis) anyway i have some metronidazole pills that exp. 11/11 but is it still safe to take them and will it still be effective. This pill is commonly prescribed to treat bv. So should i take them?
11/10 is the exp. date sorry

Hi well I was wondering if I had unprotected sex is it possible I could have gotten bacterial vaginosis? And also I am only 17 and I cant exactly tell my mother that I have a problem because I do not want her to know I’m even having sex so is there any way I could fix this problem by myself?

I am not a virgin but my parents do not know that. I am almost positive I did not get this from my boyfriend because we have been together for 4 months and I am his first in two years and he is my first ever. It could be, though, and I accept that. But if the doctor asks if I am a virgin, I will say yes. Is it possible to have BV and still be a virgin?

Okay I know for a fact it’s not ovulation because I am on birth control and have been for 6 months now. I already know vaginitis is caused from tampons.
Here are my symptoms clear mucous looking but also lumpy. Sometimes it will only be lumpy sometimes only mucousy. Sometimes but not all the time there is a smell. Which would remind me of a yeast infection. But I thought all people who had yeast infection had the horrible itching and rash/ breakout which I do not have. So could I still have a yeast infection without those symptoms, or is it something else?? Thank you all:)

I had been taking perscription pills for my bacterial vaginosis for 7 days and when I had finished it came back. I then read somewhere that if u drink 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 cup of water it will cure it. Does this work? And if so…how often do I drink this mixture? Thanks~

i got medicine from my doctor for my bacterial infection and it went away but i still am having a discharge and sometimes it even smells bad, whats up with that?

do you have to get bacterial vaginosis from doing sexually active stuff with somebody? like getting fingered? because if i have that then i dont wanna tell my mom to take me to the doctor and her ask how i got it and tell her oh ya i got fingered. ya not a good idea. i just need to know if i can tell her its something else. i just have that fishy odor but nothing hurts or burns or itches. and ive had it since monday? and just got fingered on friday.

I went to get a simple pap smear and STD test.
They tested for Bacteria Vaginosis, Tric, Yeast, Chlamydia, Gonnorhea – all negative.

But the doctor said he did find a high white blood cell count and that usually indicates infection.
They never called me back though…

So what should I do? Could it be nothing?

About a month ago I was in a public place and after I did my business, I discovered there was no toilet paper. Hooray! And I wasn’t about to go and change rooms, because the place was so busy and I wasn’t in a stall, so I would be going out into a public place with my underwear smelling like piss afterwards.
So I looked around on the ground and sure enough, found TP. It looked clean and unused but smelled a bit of urine. I figured that pee is supposed to be sterile, so I went ahead and used it.
Well my hands smelled like urine for the rest of the day, while my vagina smelled like piss as well as itching later on that night and for the next 2 days.
It was slighty red and had little uniform raised bumps, only present in the labia. No pus or anything. I washed with soap and the next day the bumps receded and I figured I’d cured it.
Now I have the same stuff, but with the opening of my vagina is sort of whitish. No funny discharge. And I wouldn’t be able to tell you the smell – I have a cold.

I narrowed it down to two things – bacterial vaginitis or yeast infection. I’m hoping it’s a yeast infection since it won’t need such a big treatment. If there’s anything else you could think of, please help!

i just got prescribed clindamycin vaginal cream for bacterial vaginosis, i just want to know is there any side effects, or any effects with mixing alcohol? THANKS!:)
