bv treatment

So, I went to the er to day and found out I had bv.
They have me gel to put inside myself. It's leaking out tho.
Am I supposed to just lay in bed after I insert it?

They did a vagina swab. I thought it was a really bad yeast infection. Because it didn't smell and it was thick chunky discharge. I'm glad I got checked tho. A day of medicine and I already feel so much better down there.

Best to use ar bedtime....no reason to get up when you're in bed for the night. Wear a pad... :)

Bv commonly has a fishy odor associated with it, especially after you have sex. Ive had BV twice before (not while pregnant) and both times I had a white discharge and a fishy smell. I was given metronidazole pills for 7 days to treat it.

Yeast infection can also have a white discharge but it will smell yeasty, can be "chunky/thick, itches/burns and can be very uncomfortable. I hate getting a yeast infection omg im miserable the whole time. Lol

I had bv but they gave me the pill instead. Its just like the yeast infection stuff its gonna drip down.try laying down and relaxing.

I knew I had it because I had to get a pap when I switched doctors. I didn't have an odor or anything but odors are associated with bv. Go get tested.

And use a pantyliner to prevent it staining your underwear :)

Most likely. I had stuff for a yeast infection and I was told to put it in before bed or it will just all come out and not be effective. I'd just use it before bed
