Bacterial Vaginosis

If you're experiencing symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV), such as unusual vaginal discharge or an unpleasant odour, a confidential face-to-face consultation can help you get the right diagnosis and treatment. Meet with one of our qualified prescribing pharmacists for a personalised assessment and appropriate treatment where clinically indicated.

Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal condition caused by an imbalance of the natural bacteria in the vagina. It may cause unusual vaginal discharge with a strong fishy smell, particularly after sex, although some women may have no symptoms.

BV is not usually serious, but it can cause discomfort and may increase the risk of other infections if left untreated. At our clinic, we offer confidential assessment, advice, and effective treatment options to help restore the natural balance of bacteria. Treatment may include antibiotic tablets or gels, along with guidance on reducing the risk of recurrence and maintaining vaginal health.
