Antibiotics For Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis can occur when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted. This can be for multiple reasons, and sometimes there is no clear cause. Some women report that certain synthetic materials or over-washing with scented soaps can disturb this balance. If this happens a combination of antibiotic treatment and small lifestyle changes can often get rid of bacterial vaginosis.

Bacterial vaginosis is generally harmless but can be reoccurring and unpleasant. The common symptoms include:

• Thin, gray, white or green vaginal discharge
• Foul-smelling “fishy” vaginal odor
• Vaginal itching
• Burning during urination

Many women will not experience any symptoms at all. You should see a doctor when:

• You have vaginal discharge that’s new and associated with an odour or fever. Your doctor can help determine the cause and identify signs and symptoms.
• You’ve had vaginal infections before, but the colour and consistency of your discharge seems different this time.
• You have multiple sex partners or a recent new partner. Sometimes, the signs and symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection are similar to those of bacterial vaginosis.
• You try self-treatment for a yeast infection with an over-the-counter treatment and your symptoms persist.
