Q: Questions About B.v.

Hi I had a few questions about b.V. And metronidazole being used for the prescription.


- she didn't mention anything about waiting a certain amount of time before having sex, using tampons, etc. Any suggestions on this would be great!

- b.V. Hm. I'm scared I may have this chronically, even though it's only my first time dealing with it. I just came off birth control in january, before my march cycle began, I had my first yeast infection. Recently, I had another one. And now, the b.V. And yest infection. What are some ways, if any that you have found to ease the odor/discharge/mild itching?/mild burning (and right now i'm still iffy about using a tampon with yogurt.. Maybe I haven't suffered long enough.)

- I am now on pill 8 of the prescription and have noticed vast improvements in my symptoms. However, I noticed and increase in swelling. I was wondering if maybe the swelling takes longer to improve? Or maybe the swelling is due to everything 'down there' getting back to normal? I also notice very dark coloration in my urine, almost a brown color. Is this normal as well?

Sorry for the length!

Usually, the doc will tell you not to use a tampon or have intercourse until you're finished with your antibiotic. The antibiotic you're on needs to be taken with a full glass of water and several additional glasses of water because it can cause dehydration, which will turn your urine darker. I love my gyn because she takes all the time in the world to explain these little details. Hope this helps. C
