i’m treating bacterial vaginosis right now. i’ve had it in the past and i checked to see if i still had my medication for it. i do but i only have 5 pills left and says to take them twice daily for seven days. but since i only have 5 of them left i want to space them out. do u think it’ll still work effectively? i know i should go to the doctor but it’s so embarrassing now. i’m thinking of going to another doctor. anyways i need some suggestions. also is there any OTC medicine i can take to treat this?? how about home remedies?? please help thanks.

before i dated my boyfriend i am already suffering from bacterial vaginosis and sometimes yeast infection. i treat them but it always occurs. it always occurs even until now, then it will go, then comes back again. should it be bcoz he is not treated too? i notice whenever i am treated and make love with him, it comes back. it happened three times. now i am afraid to do it with him. should i give him the same medication i took? i took negazole metronidazole 500 mg.
