I've never had a problem with odor down there and after not having sex for about 2 years I now recently am in a relationship and started having sex again. My boyfriend told me that there was a horrible odor that was turning him off, I was mordified :( I went to my gyno who said it was a light case of Bacterial Vaganosis and prescribed me the 0.75% Vaginal Gel for 5 days. Last night I took my last dose and now I'm just very nervous because if I have sex and it's still a problem I will be so disappointed to say the least. I need to know when I am able to have sex again? Also if someone has used this before for odor, did it solve the problem? Please any feedback would be helpful !
I used Metronidazole Vaginal Gel for a BV infection, Will it be ok?

I was in the same situation except I'm the one who noticed it. My friend told me it was just because I'd gotten rusty from lack of use, lolol... The dr gave me Bactrim for 5 days and I was cured. It does take a few days after you stop the medication whatever it is, to notice the effect, because the medication gets rid of the infection but the symptoms take a little longer.

Thanks for the answer, actually shortly after I finished taking the metro gel I got what I am almost 99% sure was a UTI, I called my dr but was not able to get in to see her so I just started taking a lot of vitamin c and drinking water As well as some over the counter pain relief med. then a couple days later the dr called me back with my Pap smear results which showed I had a yeast infection and she prescribed me a antibiotic ( Fluconazole) everything seems to be going good down there now, this whole situation is very frustrating though because I've never had problems like this and it does effect my self esteem some
