Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Is there any way that I can treat BV while being 34 weeks pregnant? I had Metronidazole gel and suppositories and they did not work. The smell is pretty uncomfortable plus I have HPV. So, I do not know if that is associated with the smell too. BTW is BV contagious?

Answered by Dr. Tara Devi

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

BV (bacterial vaginosis) is not a sexually transmitted infection. You must be having associated fungal infections causing itching. Take tablet Metronidazole 400 mg three times daily for one week. Take capsule Clotrimazole vaginal pessary at bedtime for a week. Drink plenty of water. Keep your perineal area dry.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
