Do I have to go to my doctor for treatment? I also have boric acid vaginal suppositories at home

Question

I think I have bacterial vaginosis. I tested my PH with a strip provided for this purpose which gives a result of about 6. There is also a slight unpleasant smell Hello! The smell is quite bad all day long and has lasted for about 48 hours. The discharge is more abundant (white and milky). Slight discomfort (irritation) during the last sexual intercourse. I have a prescription for Flucozanole since I had some recurrent infections last year but these are not the same symptoms.

Good morning, ma'am, How long have you noticed this? Is the unusual smell all day long or at particular times? Are there other symptoms such as discharge (if so, please describe), pain, irritation or itching? Have you had these symptoms in the past and received treatment for them? Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my reply, I hadn't seen the notification! I have consulted a colleague and we agree that if it is not the same symptoms, you should consult a doctor to rule out other causes and not delay treatment, if any. You can try fluconazole but you should not delay the consultation especially if you do not notice any improvement after 72 hours. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
