I finished 5 days of flagyl vaginal gel for bv. the strong smell and discharge mostly went away however my underwear still smells like bleach. did the flagyl not clear the infection?

BV odor not bleach: Bacterial vaginitis odor does not smell like bleach. Freshly washed clothing is the more likely source of that smell. If you want tobe sure the BV infection is gone, see a GYN MD who can test for the same.
