A member asked:
Does metrogel cleanse the vagina while curing bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Metrogel contains metronidazole, an antibiotic effective against trichomonas and anaerobic bacteria. As a general rule the vagina will clear itself by secretions and shedding. Some women feel comfortable douching regularly, but many ob/gyn experts disparage this practice.
