What is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial Vaginosis is a fairly common and treatable condition afflicting women between the ages
of 14 and 49. It is caused by an overgrowth of harmful bacteria, and it is generally treated
with antibiotics. The infection may be present for several weeks after having sex or other
activity that could have exposed you to these bacteria (such as douching or oral sex).
Seeking virtual doctor consultation for bacterial vaginosis treatment online is important as not
doing so could have serious repercussions.

How Online Doctor Appointments Help Treat Acute Vaginitis
Treatment for acute vaginitis largely depends on the cause behind it. If it’s bacterial vaginosis, the primary doctor will prescribe antibiotics or antibacterial creams. However, if it’s because of a yeast infection, then they might prescribe anti-fungal creams or medication like butoconazole and clotrimazole. Your online doctor consultation & prescription might be completely different from someone with the same condition because it will be specified to you. For instance, your virtual doctor is unlikely to prescribe you textbook medication if you are pregnant or allergic to certain ingredients.

How To Treat Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial Vaginosis is a common vaginal infection caused by the bacteria Gardnerella vaginalis, Mycoplasma hominis, and Ureaplasma urealyticum. This infection can cause itchiness, discharge, and odor. It’s also known as BV. When you have bacterial vaginosis, the acid in your vagina isn’t strong enough to kill off all the bad bacteria. That means those bacteria can multiply quickly and result in an unpleasant odor and discharge.If you’re experiencing any of the previously mentioned symptoms, your online doctor for bacterial vaginosis may recommend antibiotics. Antibiotics are effective in treating most cases of bacterial vaginosis. They can be used alone or as part of a treatment regimen that may include other medications and behavioral techniques. Antibiotics are usually prescribed for a short time, usually about 10 days, to kill bacteria and prevent reinfection. The most common antibiotics used to treat BV are metronidazole (flagyl) and clindamycin (cleocin). These drugs kill both types of bacteria that cause BV. However, some research suggests that the antibiotic rifampin (RIF) may be more effective than metronidazole or clindamycin in people with mild or moderate symptoms of BV. Similarly, ointments are also one of the most common treatments for bacterial vaginosis. These medications are applied to the vagina several times a day.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
If you have vaginal pain or a burning sensation in addition to these symptoms or have had unprotected sex recently, you should contact your doctor right away. If you have symptoms of BV that last for more than 10 days and/or return after treatment with antibiotics, see our online doctor again to discuss further treatment options.

Common FAQs Related To Bacterial Vaginosis
You will probably notice a white discharge from your vagina, which is usually accompanied by itching or irritation. You may also notice odorless, soapy-smelling vaginal secretions (mucus). Bacterial vaginosis can cause vulvovaginal symptoms such as redness, burning, and soreness. If you experience any of these symptoms, see our online doctorand get treatment for bacterial vaginosisright away!
The most common symptom of bacterial vaginosis is vaginal discharge characterized by a fishy odor, which can be watery or thick like yogurt. The discharge may be wet or sticky and can sometimes contain blood-tinged mucus. Other symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, burning during urination, and swelling in the labia minora.
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance between good and bad bacteria in the vagina. The good bacteria help keep your vagina healthy by helping keep Candida albicans under control. The bad bacteria are usually present in small numbers but can multiply rapidly when they come in contact with other organisms or toxins—for example, from using scented feminine hygiene products or douches that contain perfumes or deodorants (which can irritate your vagina). These excess bad bacteria may also come from a partner who has had sex with someone who has bacterial vaginosis. The overgrowth of these bad germs can cause an unpleasant odor and thick yellowish discharge when you wipe after urinating or menstrual period, as well as itching around your vagina and soreness during intercourse.
No, bacterial vaginosis is not contagious. It is caused by a group of bacteria that live in the vagina and cause irritation and odor. These bacteria are not transmitted from person to person but can be spread through sexual contact or vaginal douching.
