Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Treatment
Bacterial vaginosis is a fairly common infection associated with sex that can affect sexually active women of all ages. It is also referred to as gardnerella vaginalis. Unlike other STIs, BV is not caused by bacteria being transmitted during sex, but rather by an imbalance of bacteria within the vagina that can be caused by sex. BV does not affect men, but it is commonly referred to as an STI because unprotected sex is known to contribute to the development of the infection.
This infection is very easy to treat with a course of an antibiotic called Metronidazole. Treatment is important because, like all STIs, BV has the potential to cause health complications like pelvic inflammatory disease if it is left untreated. You will also face an increased susceptibility to other STIs, including HIV.
What bacterial vaginosis treatment is available?
The medication that is prescribed to treat bacterial vaginosis is called Metronidazole. This is a generic antibiotic that is a clinically proven bacterial vaginosis treatment. It works by stopping the bacteria’s cells from duplicating so your immune system is better able to fight off the infection. Metronidazole comes in the form of 400mg tablets which should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. This bacterial vaginosis treatment can be taken once every day over the course of seven days or in the form of a single 200mg dose. Which option is most suitable for you will depend on factors such as how well your body responds to or is affected by particular medications.
Metronidazole is clinically proven to be a safe medication, but as it is a prescription medication it is not suitable for everyone. If you have liver problems, a stomach or intestinal disease, a blood cell disorder, a nerve disorder or are currently undergoing kidney dialysis then it is unlikely that you will be prescribed this medication. This will also be the case if you are allergic to the active ingredient, metronidazole, or you are either pregnant or breastfeeding. You should mention any medical conditions you have or any medications you are taking while completing your online consultation so we can assess your suitability for Metronidazole.
