Can BV symptoms be treated online?
Sometimes, yes. A typical odor-and-discharge pattern without pelvic pain, fever, pregnancy complications, or STI concerns can still fit an online review.
What symptoms should not stay in this lane?
Pelvic pain, fever, pregnancy-related concerns, sores, or symptoms that may need STI testing should be handled through a different care setting.
