(Was Question about prologned vaginal infection and itch )" Thanyou Dr.Braun. >Streptococcus pyogenes is normal vaginal flora. I had a vaginal culture with sensitivity and it showed sterp pyogenes, but my doc put me on antibiotics. I still have itching and diacharge. What reason would my gyn to put me on antibiotics if it is normal to have streptococcus pyogenes ? >fungus culture with identification of the fungus and appropriate >treatment based on that is indicated. If wet smear shows either >trichomonas or bacterial vaginosis, treatment with metronidazol would be >indicated. 1. Do specifically have to ASK them to test of fungus when I get a wet smear ? 2. Will a regular culture for fungus show trichomonas or bacterial vaginosis ? or should I specifically ask for 'culture for bacteria' and 'culture for bacteria' separately. I can get lab tests done here by myself and pay out of pocket- no problem. 3. Is there any specific thing I should ask about the tests themselves ie., what kind of assay (?) or something. I am worried, having this problem for 7 months is not ok and soon we willbe trying for a baby, dont want this to get in the way thanks Nel Next message: Tamara: "57th day of period after Marina IUD" Previous message: Harvey S.
