To any nonas suffering from bacterial vaginitis
DO NOT TAKE METRONIDAZOLE, shit hurts your heart permanently and itll hurt for weeks. Best thing i've ever done (except for wearing condoms) was drink TONS OF PROBIOTICS (yakult) and my pee stopped stinging, my labia did not inflame anymore, stopped the nausea of metronidazole and yakult tastes awesome.
BV is characterized by decreased Lactobacillus counts and excessive growth of multiple anaerobes in the vagina; Yakult's exclusive Probiotic strain is known as LcS (Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota) LcS is a unique probiotic bacteria
stay safe

Good for accidentally discovering brand new pathogen.

That's not really true. As far as broad spectrum antibiotics go, Metronidazole is kind of a nuke, but any decent clinician should be wary of the side effects and titrate accordingly. If nausea is a concern, there are alternatives such as Clindamycin, which may be more agreeable and is even available in a topical form. Who treated you - an NP?
