Bacterial vaginosis: See your gynecologist and get a culture and sensitivity take of your vaginal discharge, so you can be treated with the proper antibiotic

Bacterial vaginosis: BV treatment is metronidazole 500 mg 2 x/day x 7 days and that is usually effective if symptoms have not improved you should be re evaluated to r/o any other possible etiology such as a yeast infection
