Bacterial Vaginosis? can I use tampons while on medicine?!


Question: Bacterial Vaginosis!? can I use tampons while on medicine!?
i just went to the doctor and turns out i had BV (Bacterial Vaginosis)

The gave me medicine called Metronidazole to take for a week!.

The said DO NOT HAVE SEX or it wont go away!.

Thing is i just started my period and forgot to ask if i could use tampons!.

Do you think it would be okay to use a tampon or will it keep the bacteria inside me and make it worse!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Yes it's probably fine!.

The reason you shouldn't have sex is because your partner can reinfect you (he shoud perhaps take a course of antibiotics too)!.

Tampons go in and then come out and into the bin, so they're fine!. As with thrush, there is actually a symptom remedy that involves yoghurt-smeared tampons!

But if in doubt, always ask your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
