If you had a bactica infection and you had to take antibiotics while you were on your period so What is happening to you?

Answer 1

Although you did not give any of your symptoms other than that you had a bacterial infection that was treated with antibiotics. A very common condition diagnosed as Bacterial Vaginosis is most likely what caused the infection. Although BV can cause vaginal infections, they are not always present. Bacterial Vaginosis is caused by a decrease in Lactobacillus bacteria, therefore, anaerobic bacteria are able to colonize and grow disrupting the vagina's natural ecology. Restoring dominance to Lactobacilli will eventually correct the problem. Also, lowering the pH of the vaginal area < 4.5 minimizes anaerobic bacteria growth. Due to the possibly of an infection, antibiotics will be prescribed with an antibiotic ointment or the physician may choose only monotherapy depending on the patient. Taking oral Probiotics containing beneficial bacteria of the Lactobacillus species, which you can find at any pharmacy, may help to prevent BV from returning. RepHesh Gel is one product that restores the vaginal pH decreasing the risk of BV returning and should relief some symptoms. The key here is proper maintenance of the vulva. Discuss with your doctor or PCP about options and/or treatment plans, whether it be medicinal, holistic, or a combination of both if your condition is constantly returning. Even if your do not get bacterial or yeast infections often, know how to prevent or at least lessen the risk of developing BV again. Just look up Bacterial Vaginosis on a search engine. I'm not a doctor, but I'd say you are nothing out of the norm. Let me know if this helped any. I gave it my best shot.
