About bacterial vaginosis (BV)
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a vaginal infection that causes unusual, strong-smelling discharge, particularly after sex. Half of people with bacterial vaginosis do not have any symptoms.
It affects one-third of people with menstrual cycles at some point in their life.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of vaginal bacteria. Certain triggers can increase the risk of disrupting the vaginal microbiome balance, including:
- Smoking cigarettes
- Your menstrual cycle
- Unprotected sex
- Douching or over-washing
- Vaginal soaps or deodorants
Bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
However, sexual activities like oral sex and contact with semen can introduce new bacteria into the vagina and disrupt its natural balance, potentially triggering BV. Using barrier methods like condoms may help prevent this.
MedExpress offers oral metronidazole tablets, metronidazole gel and clindamycin cream to treat bacterial vaginosis. These are all antibiotic treatments.
Gels and creams are applied internally with an applicator for up to 7 days. Tablets can be taken twice daily for 5 or 7 days, or as a single 2mg dose.
Antibiotics are proven to treat bacterial vaginosis quickly and effectively by restoring vaginal bacteria to their natural balance.
