A member asked:
Im allergic to both flagyl & clindamycin. can i use the naturaal remedies such as peroxide douching or yogurt tampons for bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry, won't work: Unfortunately, these won't work. And douching, with peroxide or anything else, is a very bad idea, especially for BV. It can flush bacteria into the tubes and increase the risk of PID. Check with your doctor whether truly allergic and could safely take metronidazole or clindamycin. Vaginal boric acid capsues are another possible option. Best to see a doc highly experienced in BV and infections.
