A member asked:

19 weeks pregnant. ob says there is no reason to treat bv as cdc does not indicate any reason to treat. i took flagyl two weeks ago but feel like it is back. is it okay not to treat again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not to repeat flagyl: As you had treatment 2 weeks ago (flagyl) , you need not repeat the treatment now, but watch if you have any problem like itching or foul smelling discharge then consult your doctor to test for any infection .and to perscribe any medicine if needed .
