BV Online Treatment FAQ's
1What causes Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)?
BV is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina, where harmful bacteria outgrow the beneficial ones. Factors like douching, new or multiple sexual partners, or using scented soaps can increase the risk.
2 Is BV a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?
No, BV is not an STI, but sexual activity, particularly with new or multiple partners, can disrupt vaginal bacteria and increase the likelihood of developing BV.
3What are the common symptoms of BV?
Symptoms include thin, grey or white vaginal discharge, a strong fishy odor (especially after sex), vaginal itching or irritation, and burning during urination. Some women may have no symptoms.
4How can Teldoc Australia help with BV?
Teldoc offers discreet online consultations via phone or video. Our doctors can provide electronic testing referrals and antibiotic prescriptions if needed, with bulk billing and Medicare rebates available for eligible patients.
5How long does BV treatment take?
With antibiotic treatment, symptoms typically improve within a few days. Full recovery usually takes 5-7 days, but completing the full course of medication is essential to prevent recurrence.
6Can BV go away on its own?
In some cases, mild BV may resolve without treatment, but untreated BV can lead to complications like pelvic inflammatory disease or increased STI risk. A doctor’s advice is recommended.
7How can I prevent BV?
To reduce the risk, avoid douching, limit sexual partners, use unscented soaps, and maintain good vaginal hygiene. Using condoms may also help lower the risk.
8Is an online consultation effective for BV?
Yes, our doctors can evaluate your symptoms, arrange testing if necessary, and prescribe treatment online. For most BV cases, a phone or video consultation is as effective as an in-person visit.
