A member asked:

I'm on a bv treatment right now. and i had protected sex last night but my vagina has been hurting now. do i have to restart my treatment?

No: Continue your bv treatment. Vagina may hurt due to muscular contractions and or penile thrusting. Take a Tylenol to help the muscular pain.
