Q: my doctor prescribed me metrogel for bv for 5 days i forgot to ask how long do i wait to resume sexual activity?

: There is no set recommendation for activity restriction with bacterial vaginosis. Patients who wish to exercise more caution may consider using condoms for intercourse until the infection is completely resolved.
