Gardnerella Vaginalis

Hello,

i've recently been diagnosed with gardnerella vaginalis after my partner and I (both virgins at the time) had protected intercourse. My problem is i'm not entirely convinced that I was given a true/correct diagnoses. I'm not experiencing any of the symptoms associated with this infection. I am aware that not many women do; however, I am experiencing other symptoms, such as a frequency to urinate, inability to empty my bladder and a bloated stomach. Other symptoms, which I no long experience, include lower abdominal and back pain, particularly on the left and a fever. My gp suggested that my partner be tested for any sti's - he returned normal. This has been going on for a month and a half now during which i’ve taken the following antibiotics and nothing seems to have had an effect (yet), cephalexin nitrofurantoin and metronidazole. I’m still taking metronidazole – I complete the course in three days. I have a history of yeast infection as a child and as a teenager. Two years ago I also had an extremely serious bladder infection, which suddenly started one afternoon, and within two hours it got so bad that I had to be rushed to an emergency clinic. It cleared two days later. What’s the cause behind all this???

All comments will be greatly appreciated.
