Follow Ups for Bacterial Vaginosis

Do I need a follow up for BV?

Follow-up visits are unnecessary if symptoms resolve. Because recurrence of BV is not unusual, women should be advised to return for additional therapy if symptoms recur.

Another recommended treatment regimen may be used to treat recurrent disease. No long-term maintenance regimen with any therapeutic agent is recommended.

Follow-Up of Pregnant Women

Treatment of BV in asymptomatic pregnant women who are at high risk for preterm delivery might prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Therefore, a follow-up evaluation 1 month after completion of treatment should be considered to evaluate whether therapy was effective.
