Bacterial Vaginitis
"My BV started after unprotected sex with a new man, (more fool me!) My doc gave me 2g metronidazole as a single dose, which cleared up the BV but then it came back. Twice. I wasn&#039;t having any sex at all, never douched, no semen involved...plenty of journal articles suggest that BV can be caused by bacteria that are sexually transmitted, I think so too!!

My doc gave me the 7 day course 400g 2x a day, symptoms cleared up, got a yeast infection, that&#039;s cleared up, now everything has been better for a month, so hopefully it&#039;s all behind me now, it was horrible! 

2g single dose didn&#039;t work &amp; made me feel awful for 48hrs: headache, dizzy, tired, nauseous. 400g 2x day for 7 was ok, I took it with food, avoided alcohol &amp; felt sluggish."
