Bacterial vaginosis is a mild infection in the vagina caused by a type of bacteria. The vagina normally contains a lot of "good" bacteria, called lactobacilli, and a few other types of bacteria, called anaerobes. Too many anaerobes can cause bacterial vaginosis.
You may notice a discharge from your vagina. The discharge may be clear or colored. It may be very light or heavy. It may have a fishy smell, especially after you have sexual intercourse. Some women have bacterial vaginosis without any symptoms.
The pharmacists at Bayview Pharmacy have the ability to compound intravaginal creams that may help to alleviate bacterial vaginosis. These creams would be easy to use, may cause fewer systemic side effects than their oral counterparts, and are custom made to meet your individual needs. They might contain a combination of the following medications:
Metronidazole
Nystatin
