A member asked:
I've been diagnosed with bv, obgyn gave me antibiotics, after 1-2 days smell went away. i left my pills at work smell back with heavy discharge. why?

Rx as prescribed: You mention that you left your pills at work. Does that mean that after 2 days, when the symptoms improved, you stopped taking your antibiotic? Most often you will have a 7 day prescription for this problem. Please discuss with your doctor how to proceed at this point. In the future, take antibiotics as prescribed.
