If by "bacterial infection," you mean "bacterial vaginosis," no treatment is needed for a male partner. If you mean some other infection due to bacteria, you might have it or you might not...go see your healthcare provider to be completely safe.

∙ 12y agoMales can carry BV and trich without symptoms so he probably doesn't even know there's something wrong with him. He'll need to be treated with flagyl which I'm sure the doctor has given you already.
If you plan to have sex with him again then make sure he's treated too or else you will keep going through this and become very ill because too much antibiotics can disrupt the immune system. He can go into the appointment with you so you can explain the situation to the doctor to treat you both. Good luck.

What can bacteria heal?
First, bacteria is already in your body. For example, you have your own ecoli. Second, bacteria is on your skin. It doesn't really serve a purpose there. But....if you have an infection, such as sinus infection, or urinary tract infection, the bacteria in your antibiotic, such as penicillin kills the infection. BUT!! For women, this may cause a yeast infection because the normal bacteria in that area is killed by the medication. Thus, you need a different kind of medication, nonbacterial for that.

You have been having some off and on bladder discomfort and took a home uti test It said positive for leukocytes but not nitrites- does this mean you have the infection?
First - you need to visit your doctor!!! If the test is positive, which it is, you need treatment, which you can only get from your doctor! What do these results mean? It means there are White blood cells in your urine, enough to make the test positive which is abnormal. As far as a negative nitrite test... If this is positive, it means you have Gram negative bacteria in your urine and need to be treated with antibiotics. If this is negative it can mean a few things - but the 3 big meanings are: 1.) there wasn't enough time fro the bacteria to make nitrites from nitrates OR 2.) you have an infection caused by Gram-positive bacteria (which do not make this test positive) OR 3.) there may be no bacteria. Bottom line - you cannot diagnose yourself, so see a physician. A urinary tract infection can turn VERY serious in a hurry, so you'll need treatment if you have an infection!
