Hello,
thanks for your query.
According to your description you were diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis, caused by coccobacili ,which may be part of pelvic inflammatory disease.
Being noncompliant to treatment, it is quite possible that infection reoccur. However, this time you have to make sure if you have fishy odor, greyish-whitish discharge, increased PH of vagina-all these indicate bacterial vaginosis, in absent of fishy or odd odor this infection is unlikely.
single oral dose of 2 grams of metronidazole has lower efficacy and is no longer recommended.
You can take 500 mg of metronidizole twice a day for one week.
clindamycin cream vaginally or oral clindamycin 300 mg twice daily for one week.
If symptoms persists contact your doctor.
Hope it helps,
Take care!
