Yes: bacterial vaginitis can be frustrating. It may have more to do with other factors than infection such as the Ph of your fluid and the phase of the cycle although the infecttion part was properly treated

I've been taking Metronidazole for BV for two and a half days now. I just noticed brown discharge. Could it be from the antibiotics? Not menstruating.
