1-Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) can be treated with a couple of medicines. If you don't like the progress, talk to the doctor & MAYBE get another type of medicine

2-BV can be spread to your sex partner; your partner may be a carrier. In that case, you would be re-infected...Both sexual partners need to be treated at the same time.

3-KNOWLEDGE IS POWER! Search Web MD or Yahoo for BV or Baterial Vaginosis.

Good Luck and keep us posted. Mac

Hi melody43, welcome!

Try to calm down, ok? Your doctor would have no reason to lie to you. It can take some time for BV to clear up. Are you following your docs. instructions correctly? If things aren't clearing up in the time s/he said I'd call him or her back and ask for further treatment. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

If it is BV then chances are you might be contributing to it in some way - washing with soap, souching and tampons (particularly commercial tampons) are some of the main causes of BV yet seem to be things most women don't even realise are harmful. It might be an idea to see if there is anything you are using in or around your vagina which could be contributing to the infection.
