It is not wise to do so. There are no over the counter remedies. And if left untreated it can and will lead to more serious GYN problems.
BV requires antibiotic treatment which can only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription. Sorry you can’t get away without seeing a doctor for this.
go get some monistat 7 before you start smelling, and go see a doc .
You need anti biotics. You can pass it on to your mate if you don’t and he will just keep giving it back to you. It will not go away it will become more and more irritating and painful. Go see a doc if you can’t afford one try a free clinic.
The doctor has to look at it under the microscope and send cultures to know what it is for sure.
If left untreated, it could make you sterile.
I’ve been getting BV once or twice a year for the past 3 years now and since there’s no luck in getting rid of it and not getting it ever again, I’ve decided to stock up on the medication and when it occurs again I would already have the treatment and dosage to treat it. I can’t afford to keep going to the doctor for the same thing. All the times I’ve went to the doctor I was prescribed metronidazole at a dose of 500 milligrams twice a day for 7 days. I know metronidazole is a prescription medication, but it can be purchased under its other name Fish-Zole.
Metronidazole is an antibiotic that is used to treat infections in people, animals, and fish. You have to have a prescription to get it for people and animals, but for fish it is labeled as Fish-Zole without a prescription. This is convenient and very inexpensive for me until something better comes out to treat it for good.
