Thought I had thrush initially but I think now it's BV
OMG it's horrific

Best to get it swabbed first then treated - try your local sexual health clinic.

Yep. It's a nasty one.

I've it regularly for 30 plus years.. l get clindamycin on prescription when ever l have a flare.
Comes in cream with 7 vaginal rods.. clears up in 5 to 7 days.

P.S have to definitely make sure it's either BV or Thrush.. because the wrong treatment can make the other worse.

It's awful isn't it. I had both thrush and BV for most of my pregnancy and nine months after she was born. I got these squeezy gel things from Boots

You can get the test in the supermarket and the treatment. No need for doctors.

Wear a pad since you use it overnight. It'll be more comfortable.
