Your questions about symptoms of bv

Mary asks…
Can BV symptoms show up the day after sex?
Can BV or does BV show up the day after sex? 4 months ago I had unprotected sex and the next day I had a horrible infection. I thought I had an std, can you get symptoms of an STD the day after sex? I took medication for BV and the infection went away. So do you think it was just BV? if it was an STD wouldn’t i still have symptoms by now? please i’m so scared.

You can have BV again. Or, you could have an STD related discharge coincidental to your recent sexual activity. To be sure you should visit your local health care professional and have it tested.

Donna asks…
Being treated for BV..symptoms still occuring?
Hi..i went to the gyno almost a week ago with the symptoms of a little discharge and a smelly odor down there. I was given the bacterial and yeast infection test, which came back a day later that i had a bacterial infection. I also got the Chlamydia/Gonnorhea pap..but they said the results would take up to 5 days..i will call tomorrow to check on the results.
So, i’ve been on Metradizole(sp?) for the bacterial infection for 4 or 5 days, i still have 3 days worth of dosages left…yet I still have discharge and a slight odor, it’s not as strong but it is there. Is it possible that i may have something else along with the BV?? Or do i just need to wait until i finish the medication?
I will call about the other test tomorrow though, i’m just wondering in advance:]
Also, does this have anything to do with the fact that i have reoccuring BV?

Maybe you just have a particularly strong case of BV & will get relief in the next few days… or perhaps you will need a second treatment, the doctor will let you know (also if its another infection too)
I take acidophilus pills to help get my balance back in check as well.

Thomas asks…
do i really have to finish all the antibiotics prescribed if symptoms improve already?
I’m prescribed metrodizonale(flagyl) vaginal gel (5 days) and 7 days antiotics – 2 pills a day for BV. Symptoms are fine after day 3 – starting to feel side effects. can i stop after 5 days instead of 7? the bacetrial vaginosis flare up this time wasn’t severe
jsut want to add that they symptoms weren’t severe to begin with. she prescribed only the gel last time, now she’s including so many pills along with the gel…how do we know it takes the full 7 days to get rid of bacteria?

Absolutely it is necessary for you to finish them. If you do not then you take a risk of acquiring a much more severe infection the next time as you are allowing the bacteria to become resistant by not completely getting rid of them.

Jenny asks…
Are these symptoms Thrush, BV or something else?
Im not sure whether this is thrush or BV.
I had strong, cloudy urine and it was sore when i had sex. I was told(by tests) i had thrush, got treated for it and was told it was gone but i still had some symptoms then got told it was bv, took antibiotics which stopped my pee smelling and pain but this came back after about 2 days of finishing the antibiotics.
My urine does not smell all the time now but still is abit cloudy and it hurts when i have sex, my urine also always smells very strongly and cloudy after sex. i don’t have any obviously white and thick discharge, its thin and clear but there seems to be alot so im not sure what i have anymore i’ve been tested for everything else; urine tests, stds. and they came back clear.

probably a yeast infection because antibiotics kills the good flora in your intestines..
