A member asked:

It looks like i may have a yeast infection combined with bacterial vaginosis. what over-the-counter medications can i use to treat this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BV requires Rx: There are several over-the-counter products for treating a yeast infection, but BV typically requires an antibiotic treatment that is a prescription. This is also a situation where self-diagnosis may not work, so it's best to see a doctor, anyway.
