In the last 12 months, have you been treated for BV?
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common recurring condition. Its onset can be triggered by practices such as vaginal douching and the use of antiseptics, bubble baths, or shampoos during bathing. For those experiencing BV more than three times a year and have taken preventive measures without success, it's advisable to consult with your GP. You may discuss the possibility of starting a prolonged course of metronidazole gel as suppressive therapy or seek specialist advice if needed. At our clinic, we are currently not providing this specific treatment regimen. It's crucial to ensure that your symptoms are indeed due to BV and not another condition. Regular STI screenings every few months can be an essential step in this process. Adhering to the prescribed treatment regimen is vital for its effectiveness. If you miss doses or if the initial treatment doesn't yield results, alternative options, such as a 7-day course of Metronidazole (if not previously used), may be considered. Upon reviewing your order, we will provide detailed and helpful information in your account. Please ensure you read this information thoroughly for a better understanding of your treatment plan.
