A member asked:
Is it proven that hydrogen peroxide has been so very effective in curing bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Limited studies...: There have been very few studies looking at whether using hydrogen peroxide is effective treatment for bacterial vaginosis. The most cited study seems to be a trial done in italy which showed some positive effect. I would say it is far from proven that it works, but it is inexpensive with not many risks.
