If you’ve had BV diagnosed and successfully treated in the past, but the same symptoms return after a period of time, another course of antibiotics may be considered. Qoctor can provide online assessment in this scenario.

However, if your symptoms did not fully respond to treatment in the first place, if the symptoms are not the same as before OR they come back pretty much immediately after treatment, you should see a doctor in person as you may need some tests make sure there’s nothing else going on.

Any symptoms that do not get better, or are different to previous symptoms, should always be discussed with a doctor.
