Is it possible for bacterial vaginosis to be in a persons system for a long period of time and even after treatments being attempted, it still remained. But is it possible for it to develop into Chlaymidia? My friend just got word from her doctor that while getting her pap for the BV that won’t go away, she now is positive for Chlaymidia. Her husband just came home from Iraq and she wasn’t with anyone else. He just got tested, and he was negative!! Is there any explanation to this? Please only serious answers! Keep the funny ones to yourself!! She is really distraught about this and her husband is also curious as to how this happened. They were both tested when they got married for STD’s and both were clean…aside from the BV.

I have some pretty serious side effects on antibiotics and I am scared to take them..Also, what are some reasons that a woman would have multiple periods in one month? I have had like six in the last two months!!! Not full periods everytime but more than a little spotting. Thanks

A few months ago i went to get a Brazilian wax. I didn’t realize but the stick was double dipped into wax used on other clients. Anyways i got these small red bumps which i assumed were ingrown hairs, but i have put a product called Tend-Skin on them and they have not gone away. I also have alot of white/clear discharge and an odor. What are the chances this is bacterial vaginosis? Do i need to see a doctor about this or will it clear up on its own? I’m a virgin, but could i have gotten an Std? What else could it be?

I’m pregnant, and I have bv and a yeast infection, but the doc won’t treat it till the second trimester. Does yogurt really work, cause I’m gonna go crazy if I have to itch another second.

I’m pretty sure I have bacterial vaginosis… I hurt myself a week ago and after trying to have sex last night I am even more sore and swollen, and my discharge smells like infection. Sort of like how strep throat smells? I am also a little bit itchy. What are my treatment options? I would really rather not take time off of work to visit the doctor if I don’t have to.

Also note: I’ve been tested for STD’s very recently and always use protection so its not that. I’ve also researched yeast infections and ruled that out as well.

I know it is bad to use antibiotics for a viral infection, but what if I choose not to take drugs for a bacterial infection? If I have a good immune system and don’t feel very sick, won’t I just get better naturally?

The medications that are perscribed make me more irratated and I would like to have my own way that works to get rid and stay rid of this.

How long should you wait before having intercourse after being treated with Metro Gel (Metronidazole) and Diflucan. I have taken the prescribed amount for 5 days, as the doctor said. I had sex after 7 days, and was very irritated. Plus, there was this horrible clumpy white discharge. I thought it was tissue, but it wasn’t. How long should I wait till after this medication is completed? Did I make things worst?
