A member asked:

Diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. i got after labor and cervix was still open. could i have a uterine infection?i have discharge/spotting.treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacterial: Vaginosis is a vaginal infection that mostly doesn't become a uterine infection. Treatment is typically an antibiotic gel or cream taken vaginally though sometimes antibiotic pills are given. Douching increases chance of getting BV so avoid that.
