Re: GYNECOLOGIC: Unanswered diagnosis for over two years! Need help!!From: Professor Galal Lotfi (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:31:21 -0500 (CDT)
I agree with you it is frustrating. I agree with you that some women have discharge more than others but the kind of the discharge you are describing. What about the tests of culture of the discharge, did you do it. I assume you have to have a culture test and to be repeated weekly for four weeks, sometimes the original organism is difficult to diagnose. I believe you should follow the treatment according to the culture test and again repeat the test after treatment to be sure it had been eradicated. Recurrent infection is sometimes difficult. by the way do you have a partner, and did he has a treatment. Empirical treatment has no role here.
