A member asked:

What to do if i got tested positive for bacterial vaginosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacterial vaginosis: BV is easy to treat with a short course of antibiotic. Up to 1/3 of non-pregnant women with BV will clear it spontaneously, without treatment. You should discuss with your physician.
