I was diagnosed with BV 3 months ago givin oral antibiotics(don't remember the name) and it cleared up very fast...I started to smell the fishy odor again and had similar discharge as I did 3 months ago and set up another appointment. Doc(wasn't the same as before) said it was BV although this time I was given metronidazole gel...my prescription label says take once at night until gone. I've been doing so for the past 5 days, not only has it not cleared up I have MORE white discharge, it doesn't have the strong odor but it has faint smell, it's thick so I'm wondering if the disharge is mixed with the gel. Ocassionaly when I wipe I also have noticed light streaks of blood in the discharge, Is that normal? I've done research and it's usually only prescribed twice a day for 5 days and it clears...why is mine different?
