Are antibiotics the only treatment for bacterial vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis: Bacterial vaginosis is most effectively treated with antibiotics There are no effective home remedies that can treat the condition, although sometimes it may resolve on its own without treatment. Good luck.

Alternatives: Intravaginal boric acid, a 600 mg capsule once nightly for 14 days may be able to help with your problem. This medication is not FDA-approved for this purpose and must be made by a compounding pharmacy. Boric acid can be fatal if swallowed rather than used intravaginally, so be careful around children. Still it's a worthwhile option when all the antibiotics don't work.
