I have bacterial vaginosis and want to insert garlic to cure it. how long do i have to insert it to cure the bv? please help

It won't work: Garlic won't help BV. You need proper antibiotic treatment, usually with metronidazole. See a doctor to confirm diagnosis and get a prescription. Also, BV often occurs because of other STDs, especially at your age (21); you need testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomonas.
