Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the healthy balance of bacteria in the vagina becomes disrupted, often allowing harmful bacteria to grow. Symptoms include thin, greyish discharge with a strong, fishy smell, especially after sex. Itching and irritation are less common.
Bacterial vaginosis treatment helps restore the natural vaginal flora and alleviate symptoms. Metronidazole is a widely used antibiotic that can be taken orally or applied as a gel. Both options are effective, with the choice depending on preference and medical history.
While BV is not classed as a sexually transmitted infection, it can increase susceptibility to other infections and may return if left untreated. A prescriber will evaluate your symptoms and provide the appropriate treatment for fast relief and recovery.
Metronidazole tablets are taken over several days, while the gel is applied directly inside the vagina. Both work by reducing the overgrowth of harmful bacteria and rebalancing the vaginal environment. Treatment is typically well tolerated and provides noticeable improvement within a few days.
Avoiding perfumed soaps, douching, or strong hygiene products can support recovery and help prevent recurrence. Cotton underwear, gentle cleansers, and maintaining overall vaginal health are also advised.
Ordering bacterial vaginosis treatment online is easy. Select your preferred option, complete a brief medical consultation, and your request will be reviewed by a licensed prescriber. If approved, your treatment will be delivered quickly and discreetly anywhere in the UK.
