Frequently asked questions
Bacterial vaginosis is a common condition in women caused by a bacterial imbalance in the vagina. There are different contributing factors that can include:
sexual intercourse
a recent change of sexual partner
fitted contraception devices such as the coil
using heavily scented shower gels and bathing products on the vagina
Although sex is linked to the condition, bacterial vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
The main symptom of bacterial vaginosis is a change to vaginal discharge. Changes can include texture, colour, or smell.
Signs you may have bacterial vaginosis include discharge that:
is thin and watery in consistency
looks a grey-like colour
smells strongly fishy (particularly after sex)
Itching and irritation around the vagina are not typically a symptom of bacterial vaginosis.
Not all women with bacterial vaginosis will experience symptoms.
If you're concerned about bacterial vaginosis, complete an online consultation with our online doctor to see if a prescription treatment is suitable.
There are also things you can do yourself to reduce the likelihood of bacterial vaginosis returning. These include:
showering rather than bathing
using warm water and plain, unscented soap to wash intimate areas
not using perfumed products in the bath if you have one
choosing a mild washing detergent for underwear cycles
stopping smoking if you're a smoker
You can find support to stop smoking in our Health Hub.

Worry free service
This service has taken all the worry out of ordering repeat perscriptions. They remind you when perscriptions are due & they are posted & within a couple of days they are there on your door mat. Exemplary service. Thank you.

Great service
Great service. With good liaison with my GP. And order always efficiently delivered. So much easier than queueing at the local chemist. I started using Pharmacy2U during the pandemic and no turning back.

The help line staff were excellent
The help line staff were excellent, they understood my issue straightaway, told me they would need to speak to a line manager and would get back to me. The same person got back to me later in the day with an answer, issue resolved
Linda Lauren
Great user friendly service
This is a very easy service to use.
I order my medication online from the drs it goes straight through to Pharmacy2U they confirm they have received it and it is sent out for delivery. With emails keeping me informed of its status all along the way.Neil Etheridge
I get reminders when I need to order
I get reminders when I need to order. It is easy to order and I get updates to let me know how my order is progressing. Within a very short time it is put out for delivery. It is then up to Royal Mail to post it through my letterbox.

Losing the monthly stress
Being able to request my prescription from the doctors and knowing that the items I require will be delivered to my door without delay. Originally I would go to the pharmacy after a 5 day wait to find that my prescription was not ready, so thank you for making my life easier.
Pat Cruttenden
Excellent service
Excellent service. Timely as ever. Prompted by P2U to re-order. From sending order to receipt was 7 days. Excellent as it includes GP’s approval sign off.
