Results: The Nugent score decreased significantly from bacterial vaginosis or an intermediate flora toward
a normal flora during treatment, and remained low during the follow-up period for almost all of the patients,
indicating bacterial vaginosis in 52.5% and in 7.5% of the patients before treatment and at follow-up, respectively. After treatment, significant decreases in vaginal pH were observed, to less than pH 4.5 in 34/40 women,
and the odor test became negative in all of the patients
