Bacterial Vaginitis
"I&#039;ve had BV for a while but I thought it was in response to getting the mirena IUD a few months ago. My doctor just prescribed me the 2 pills a day for 7 days of metronidazole, and my last day to take the medication is tomorrow but my symptoms have hardly improved. Maybe a little better on the smell, but still itching. I&#039;ve been avoiding having sex due to some research on the internet telling me I shouldn&#039;t do so while on the medication, but had sex once and there really wasn&#039;t any pain. Hoping the symptoms will clear up but I&#039;m feeling discouraged since I&#039;ve been on the meds for 6 days now."
