Bacterial VaginosisFrom: TM (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 20 Sep 2001 12:45:26 -0500 (CDT)
In the last two months, I have been treated three times for Bacterial Vaginosis. Once with Oral Metronidazol (500mg 1, 2x daily, 7 days), then with an internal cream (I have forgotten the name but it had little or no effect) and finally with Flagyl (750mg, once daily for 7 days). Each time I have taken the oral meds. there appears to be some "clearing up" of the symptoms; however, it has never completely gone away. Today, I still have a light greyish white discharge and very occasional itching. However, during the course of this problem, neither my husband nor myself notice a "foul" smell. I am wondering a couple of things. Should I be treated again? Before the second treatment, my doctor's office did lab work and found an overgrowth of gardenella, which is, in my limited understanding, one of the factors of BV. However, could this be something else? Is this abnormal to need so many treatments? My doctor's office isn't particularly reassuring and the information I find on the internet is vague and often confusing and contradictory. For a condition so "prevalent", according to the websites, there isn't a lot of solid information for those suffering with this. Any response you could give would provide at least some direction to me for my next step. It would be especially good to hear advice from a physician who has treated this before. Thank you in advance for your response.
