After BV treatment itching !

Posted , 3 users are following.

So I currently I am experiencing itching after being treated for Bacterial Vaginosis. It is driving me mad I was wondering if that is a sign that the BV is still there ? I am scheduled to get my IUD removed which was the cause of the BV and so much more !

    If you were treated for BV with antibiotics and afterward, now, experiencing itching then I would say that you are experiencing itching from an antibiotic induced yeast infection. This is a common thing. Boric acid suppositories are made specifically to deal with yeast and BV both. I'm not a medical professional but I've been there, done that.

      Yes I just got done on friday taking the antibiotics I was prescribed. Thank you for the recommendation I will get some of those. And also I made an appointment just in case the BV wasn't cleared up since I still have my IUD in which was the cause of the BV

      You are very welcome and that's always good. Best to be safe than sorry or ahead of the problem as much as possible.
