A member asked:
I suspect i might have bacterial vaginosis and would like to know if i really need to see a doctor or if i can just get over the counter medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes see a doctor: In the United states there is no over the counter medication available for bacterial vaginosis. I am not sure if it is available in other countries. First line medication would be flagyl or metronidazole. It is better to see a doctor to be evaluated
