Bacterial Vaginosis

Birth control pills do not directly cause bacterial vaginosis. However, they can alter the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina, potentially increasing the risk of developing bacterial vaginosis. It is important to maintain good vaginal hygiene and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Bacterial vaginosis is primarily an infection of the vagina caused by an imbalance of bacteria, which typically does not directly cause an increase in globulin levels in the blood. High globulin levels can be associated with conditions like chronic infections, liver disease, inflammation, or autoimmune disorders. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause of high globulin levels.

Bacterial vaginosis is usually a mild problem that may go away on its own in a few days. But it can lead to more serious problems, so see your doctor and get treatment. And if you are douching, avoid it in the future because it makes the risk higher to get it again.

Bacterial vaginosis does not affect men, and can't cause an itchy penis. Trichomonas, which can go along with BV, may cause symptoms. Also, any chemicals used during sex or in the vaginal or penile area can increase the risk of itchiness as well as bacterial vagnosis in the female partner. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Bacterial vaginosis is rare in prepubertal children. It is typically seen in women of reproductive age due to changes in vaginal pH and bacterial balance. If a child exhibits symptoms similar to bacterial vaginosis, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

In its early stages, bacterial vaginosis may not have any visible symptoms. As the condition progresses, some signs may include a thin white or gray discharge with a fishy odor, itching or irritation in the vaginal area, and burning during urination. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Any family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, or gynecological health care provider is able to treat bacterial vaginosis.

Possibly only from severe cases of bacterial vaginosis that leads to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and is left untreated. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease can be cured by fuyan pill. But BV is a serious risk factor for acquiring HIV and HPV (cancerogen) virus.

Yes. In fact, it is advisable not to engage in intercourse while you have any kind of infection. If you are already taking antibiotics to treat the BV, you should wait until your symptoms have disappeared and the course of your treatment is over before having sex again.

BV symptoms: fishy odor especially after sex or after using soap, little or no itching, possible pelvic discomfort

candidiasis symptoms: yeasty odor if noticed at all, itching prominent, possible burning sensation at vulva/vagina

BV signs: "spilt milk" appearance at vulva, no erythema, positive "whiff" test, thin discharge, no vulvar swelling, clue cells on wet smear, pH 4.5 or higher

candidasis signs: curdy white discharge but discharge may be homogenous/creamy, erythema, negative whiff, possible vulvar/vaginal swelling and erythema with satellite lesions if severe, hyphae or yeast buds on wet smear, normal (3.5-4.0) pH

Bacterial vaginosis is often misdiagnosed at home as a yeast infection and over the counter remedies are often tried before going to a physician. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotics. Amoxicillin can be used for treating this infection, but it is not a first line treatment and is oftentimes not effective. Physicians usually prescribe Flaygl or Cleocin to treat this infection.

Azithromycin is not typically used to treat trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginosis. Trichomoniasis is usually treated with metronidazole or tinidazole, while bacterial vaginosis is often treated with antibiotics like metronidazole or clindamycin. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am happy to answer this question as a specialist. Pubic hair is there to protect the vagina for being infected and to keep the sweat away from it, pubic hair can absorb sweat but if you shave it, you are more likely to be infected and to get sick so easily, that can also cause you to get so many rashes. The fact that you shave don't simply mean you are clean or you are not nasty if you don't clean it, you can have lots of pubic hair and be clean at the same time as long as you wash it and clean your vagina often. Pubic hair protects the vagina from dusts, rashes, sweats, It's way better and better not to shave, believe it or not. Let's go back to the old days, Caribbean and most European women don't shave at all, according to a medical survey, Women who shave in AMERICA have more vaginal infections during the last 20 years than the women in the Caribbean and in Europe. BELIEVE IT OR NOT.The society in America wants you to shave because they want to make more money over you and they don't care about your own health.

ANDERS!

Bacterial Vaginitis is where the bad bacteria in your body outnumbers the good bacteria in your body. Symptoms include Whitish Vaginal discharge, Itching and general discomfort.. They recommend that you don't wear too tight of clothing, Keep Vaginal area clean and dry and wear cotton underwear. Speaking from experience they usually prescribe antibiotics

Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by a shift in the normal vaginal flora, with a decrease in beneficial Lactobacillus species and an increase in various anaerobic bacteria like Gardnerella vaginalis, Prevotella, Mobiluncus, and Atopobium species. This shift disrupts the acidic environment of the vagina, leading to symptoms like vaginal discharge, fishy odor, and sometimes itching or irritation. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through clinical evaluation along with microscopic examination of vaginal fluid.

A man does not technically pass BV to his partner. A man can contribute to the condition, as the sperm pH is higher than the vaginal pH. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the "good bacteria" in the vagina die off and other bacteria "take over." It's not spread by sex, and treating the woman's partner, whether male or female, does not affect the outcome or chance of recurrence.

Since BV recurrence is so common, it's first important to understand what the conditions are that create this recurrence.

Many factors can contribute to this condition such as douching, extended thong panty wearing, lactose intolerance and even male ejaculate. The reason why women suffer from recurring BV after having taken antibiotics is because the antibiotics not only get rid of the bad bacteria in the vagina but also the good.

One of the most effective methods to cure recurring bacterial vaginosis is herbal therapy. For example, herbal medicine"fuyan pill", which is made from natural herbs. It could driven away the recurring bacterial vaginosis with low recurrence rate.

depends how bad it is. I had it when I was 2 to 3 or so and i think it could of been 3-6 months. i had the rash thing and the doctors at the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with me and I kept on going back when they insisted that I didnt have it. Well my parents took me back once more and askd for a different doctor who then said that i did have it this was about 1-3 weeks later that I had had it for.. Then they need to find out what blood type I had and couldn't find it at all so it was tested at universitys.

But don't worry.. I am fine now nothing is wrong with me atall I am healthy and it had no effects 11 yrs since I had it and I'm fine

Bacterial vaginosis is not an inflammatory condition, and so it does not cause cervicitis. A women with only bacterial vaginosis does not present with redness, swelling or heat in the vagina, vulva, or cervix. Trichomonas, which is almost always accompanied by BV, may cause inflammation of the female genitalia (vulvitis, cervicitis, and/or vaginitis.)

Yes. And see a doctor.
Yes of course you can. A spermicide isn't used as treatment, it doesn't stop ovulation either. I'm not sure why your man would be wanting to have sex while you have a foul odour and bacterial overgrowth going on though. He needs to wear a condom either way.
Bacterial vaginosis is a condition in women where the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted and replaced by an overgrowth of certain bacteria. It is sometimes accompanied by discharge, odor, pain, itching, or burning. Unpleasant it may be, but yes, you can still get pregnant. Bacterial Vaginosis does not prevent pregnancy, it does not retard pregnancy, and do not consider it any form of pregnancy protection.

Vagina has natural outlet and as such the infection usually does not become severe. But it may give rise to symptoms like burning, itching and painful sexual intercourse. It makes you more prone to get the sexually transmitted infections like HIV.

To get rid of bacterial vaginosis is not difficult for herbal therapy.

For example, herbal medicine "fuyan pill", which is made from natural herbs. Fuyan Pill is believed to be the most effective herbal treatment on BV which has been confirmed by lots of patients.
