What are the current treatments for Bacterial Vaginosis?
Standard medical treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is antibiotic therapy. In many cases Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) can recur after antibiotic treatment. The exact reasons for recurrence are unknown but frequent antibiotic use may be involved. Another treatment option is to use a lactic acid gel during or after a course of antibiotics. The effect of using a lactic acid gel is that it will restore the natural acidic conditions of the vagina and promote the growth of lactobacilli thereby creating an environment less favourable to Bacterial Vaginosis-causing organisms.
