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
