How do you treat/get rid of a bv? besides seeing a doctor, what can i do at home to get rid of it or calm it down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why not see doctor?: If sexually active, stop sex for a few weeks or use condoms consistently. BV isn't considered an STD, but often triggered by sex (but treating partners doesn't help). Some women say probiotics help, but research doesn't show benefit. But why not see doc for prescription for metronidazole, tinidazole, or clindamycin, usually effective. And you should be tested for STDs, which can trigger BV.
