Hi in 26 yr old female I recently went to my ob for HIV and std testing. Everything came back negative but doctor say he did see a overgrowth of bacteria. Which is bv and also said that he would not give meds for something like this in a less serious case because I have no symptoms.. Is there anyone that can give me any suggestions on how to get rid of this..?

Hi
Usually best not to mess with body's own balance unless absolutely necessary.
Best advice I know would relate to all the non medical stuff like wearing cotton underwear only, no thongs or tight jeans/leggings, good diet, don't use soap, bubble bath etc...only use water, don't use tampons for a while, and if you do use non applicator type. Could try natural live yoghurt insertions?
Pharmacy do sell bv gel which may help....but didn't in my case
If you are asymptomatic I wouldn't bother but do the above
Natural Yogurt douching - revives the good bacteria down there
I truly appreciate everyone's advice. Thank you
