Has your friend been diagnosed with this condition? How does she know she has it for sure? If she was diagnosed with BV then she would have been offered some antibiotics to clear it up. Please check the link below for more information. http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068687/ The antibiotic Metronidazole clears up BV in about 7 to 10 days but it may be bring up a thrush infection so your friend may also need some cream for that too. If you are in the UK please visit your local GUM clinic where one can be treated for free and also given free drugs or creams if required. In the US there are also local genital urinary clinics that you can visit but I am not sure if the treatment is free. I am not sure how one would go about getting the antibiotic Metronidazole in Nigeria either in case you are based there. |

Ademosh: BV is not an STD so the male partner may not need to be treated as she may not even have one. There are plenty of cases where a woman has not been sexually active but has still gotten BV BV is normally brought up by excessive washing inside the vagina with soap and bubble baths. These foreign substances inside the vagina upsets its natural balance and leads to the over production of bacteria which causes discharge and an overly foul ordour from that part of the body. What causes bacterial vaginosis? |

Angiefan thanks for d info but BV usually occurs in sexually active individuals (especially those with multiple patners)other risk factors associated with BV are low socioeconomic status,presence of IUCD and prior STD.It is still debatable whether it is sexually transmitted,however in support of this is the recoyery of B.vaginalis in d urethra of male patners of affected women! |

@Ademosh Many ladies who are diagnosed with BV don't have sexual partners. Given that fact it would be best to ask if the lady has a sexual partner rather than to casually assume that she has one. BV has also nothing to do with one's social economic status. Are you based in Nigeria? If you are then why am I not suprised that you would bring economics into this |

flpdistrib: I really don't know why you have to inject your pseudo-science mumojumbo into this crucial medical arguement between AngieFan and Ademosh. I know you have a product to sell to some stupid patient out there, but must you always jump into academic discussion? |

@ angiefan. low socioeconomic status is for sure one of d important predisposing factor to BV in developing countries it predispose 2 malnutrition with subsequent immunosuppresion which favours d growth of some harmless organisms in female genital tract.But over there it might not be! D most important thing is to know if d poster of this issue has had any benefit from all these advice ,discussions.wish her d best. |

If she has been diagnosed by a doctor then antibiotics is all she needs. I thnk both of them are correct about BV. It is not really an STD but promiscuous people have a higher risk of contacting it and also pregnant women. Women who douch also put themselves at risk of BV and other vaginal infections. |
