Unfortunately without a proper diagnosis you run the risk of recurrent infections as well as damage to your fallopian tubes if the infection were to spread upwards. Women who have BV are at increased risk of also having other sexually transmitted infections like Chlamydia and trichomonas vaginalis. If you know you have had unprotected intercourse please get tested and treated by a doctor specialising in genitourinary medicine. Yes it will need antibiotics. Natural remedies may be ok for helping manage the PH of the vagina but they do not cure sexually transmitted infections.
