Q. Have taken Flagyl for Bacterial Vaginosis, Still have some itching. Why?
Hi doctor,
I am a 35-year-old female. I had vaginal discharge. When I took Flagyl for BV, it cleared. So, I do not think it as an STI. Am I right?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Bacterial vaginosis can occur with or without intercourse and is not considered as STI (sexually transmitted infection). As your bacterial vaginosis got cleared with Flagyl (Metronidazole), you are fine.
Hi doctor,
The odor and discharge have cleared, but I still have some itching. Can this be a side effect of Flagyl? I have been out of mind with worry as it may be herpes because there is a little bit of redness.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Finish the course of Flagyl for five to seven days. Do not use any douche.
- I suggest you take probiotics and apply antifungal cream as sometimes super imposed infection occurs.
- If you do not get better, then will need a medical check.
