Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.


No, if your vaginosis is cured you never has swollen clitoris.

In my advice your infection is not cured yet.

You can take metronidazole and clindamycin tablet under your doctors guidance. If you have taken it in your current therapy, you can only substitute it.

I advice you to wear cotton undergarments. Because synthetics material increase chance of resistance.

Also keep hygiene because it will cure you earlier. Please wash your hands before and after hand wash.

I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun.

Thank you,
