Are over-the-counter meds available for recurring BV symptoms?
Patient's Query
I went to my Dr about 8 9 months ago and I went for odor and weird discharge I was told it was BV got meds from my dr and it went away well I believe its back the smell it bad and clump discharge. I'll take a shower it smells good then I go to the bathroom and the smell comes right back I have to change almost 3 times a day because it gets bad. I just want to know if there is over the counter meds for it because I'm out of state and cant go to my Dr
Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri
It sounds like you might be experiencing a recurrence of bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV can indeed come back, causing that unpleasant odor and unusual discharge. Unfortunately, over-the-counter meds for BV aren't as effective as prescription ones. But there are some tips you can try while away from your gynecologist. Make sure to wear cotton underwear, avoid scented products, and maintain good hygiene. When you can, it's best to visit your gynecologist for a proper evaluation and treatment to clear this up for good.
