Not So Fresh Down There?
Is it Bacterial Vaginosis?
Get to know the Symptoms and your Treatment Options
You may have Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal infection caused by the imbalance of ‘good’ and ‘BV-causing’ bacteria naturally occurring in the vagina.
The most obvious symptom described by women with BV is
- an unpleasant or ‘fishy’ odour,
- most often accompanied by a white or grey watery vaginal discharge.
You’ve come to the right place
We understand what you’re going through. The symptoms are not only unpleasant, they can have a negative impact on work, relationships and life in general. And while you might find it embarrassing, you are not alone. In-fact, BV is the most common vaginal infection among women of childbearing age.
The Good News
Effective treatments exist to treat BV and its symptoms. These include getting antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. The antibiotic Metronidazole is commonly prescribed for BV, but may cause unwanted side-effects like nausea and vomiting and it’s advised that people take it with food and don’t drink alcohol.
Another option is Fleurstat BV Gel, a clinically proven, non-antibiotic gel for the treatment for BV that helps provide rapid relief of symptoms, including unpleasant vaginal odour and discharge. And Fleurstat BV Gel is available to buy without a prescription direct from your pharmacy or online.
How does it work?
Fleurstat works to treat BV by disrupting the attachment of BV-causing bacteria to the vaginal wall. The gel then forms a physical barrier, preventing bacteria from reattaching.
Fleurstat BV Gel is simple to use, applied once daily for 7 days.
