A member asked:
I was on antibiots for bv i wasn't taking then at the same time i kept forgetting finished the antibiotic but today i noticed a really fishy smell?

Untreated BV: If you are still having a fishy smell it is a sign that the BV has not been adequately treated. Call your doctor and tell them what happened and they may call in another round of antibiotics. If not you may need to be seen again in the office.
