Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Vaginosis

I recently went to the doctor and was told that I have BV since then I ve been taking an antibiotic for almost a week now.Today I was in the bathtub and noticed a white fleshy like piece of matter floating in my water I assumed it came from my vagina so I reached my hand down there in the water and sure enough a bigger piece came out what is it?

Hi,
I understand your query.
* The white piece from your infected vagina was nothing but the debris containing -destroyed tissue produced by bacterial infection+ few pus cells, bacterias both alive & dead.
In a bath tub/ swimming pool the vaginal containts are freely in contact with water- though getting a good vaginal wash it also carries risk of spreading infection to others.
* You should get your vaginal swab culture & sensitivity testing done - this will point out effective antibiotics. A physical check up by a gynecologist
Followed by full course of suitable & effective antibiotic in proper dose/duration would help0.
Thanks.
