Whats is more effective for bacteria vaginosis- pill or gell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Systemic vs local Rx: Local vaginal treatment with gel or cream goes straight to the source of the infection and tends to be more effective. Oral agents have to make a circuitous trip through the G. I. tract to the infection and can wipe out the good digestive bacteria before it arrives at its' vaginal destination via the blood stream.
