Yes I think I have bacterial vaginal infection. My doctor has not called a med in for me yet and now it is a weekend. I just had this month ago, he gave me Metronidazole vaginal cream for 5 days. What can I take for this? I am in Floridia and my doctor said if I needed he would call in med for me.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Bacterial vaginosis is not caused by a single bacteria there will be overgrowth of various bacteria in the vagina. Normally, there are different types of harmless bacteria in the vagina. These bacteria help in the defense against harmful germs, whenever there is a change in the balance of the normal bacteria in the vagina, certain bacteria multiply produce the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. Metronidazole vaginal cream placed inside the vagina can be used, and it has the same ability of oral metronidazole to clear Bacterial vaginosis. It should be used for 5-7 days for effective treatment. Thank you.
