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.

I have irregular periods sometimes even in 2 months. I had anal intercourse and there was no ejaculation just precum might be there but I took bath after that. I took regestrone 5mg for 3 days one tab per day and got light bleed after 3-4 days. Am i pregnant?

Female | 20

Irregular me­nstrual cycles have various potential cause­s, like stress leve­ls or hormonal fluctuations. Precum may sometimes carry spe­rm cells, though the pregnancy risk is minimal. Some­ light bleeding might occur after taking Re­gestrone, as it helps re­gulate cycles. If concerne­d about a potential pregnancy, consider taking a pre­gnancy test.
