Question : I have a strong vaginal order, fishy. I'm 75 and no sex involved. Do you a recommendation?
Brief Answer:
may be bacterial vaginosis
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It sounds like bacterial vaginosis. This is not a sexually transmitted infection and can occur in anyone.
It can be treated with topical or oral agents.
The topical option is metrogel.
Oral options would be metronidazole or clindamycin.
Clindamycin is used 300mg twice daily for a week
Metronidazole is used 2 g as a single dose or 500mg twice daily for 7 days
A prescription from your doctor is needed.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
