General & Family Physician,  's  Response

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Bacterial vaginosis can be treated effectively. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area and instead you can use saline or warm water. Using intimate wash daily is also good. I usually advise combination of clotrimazole and clindamycin as vaginal suppository or as oral tablets for this. Avoid sexual intercourse till it get healed. Usually need 1 week for healing.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
