A member asked:
Are antibiotics need to treat bv?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes. Antibiotics can be given via local vaginal medication or orally. The vaginal route decreases the risk of altering the normal gastrointestinal bacterial flora.

"BV" ?'s: Bacterial vaginosis is caused by vaginal infection. See your gyn physician for an exam and culture, with appropriate antibiotic treatment. This may be a recurrent problem, so sexual partners may require testing, especially if not circumcised.
