Q: Bacterial Infection
asked by: jenn_heis on January 26th, 2005

I think I have a bacterial infection. I'm pretty possitive it's not a yeast infection because I have no discharge or itching. I am fire engine red down there and am feeling more of a sting then an itch. Do you think its a coincidence that I started feeling my symptoms the day after I had sex with my husband?? Also, can a really bad bacterial infection turn into a uti?? Thanks for your input.

Sounds like you need to see your gyno right away!If you leave a bacterial infection untreated,it can cause major fertility problems(besides driving you crazy with the discomfort),your doc can do an in-office culture to see if it is a bacterial problem.If it is, you will be given antibiotics for (usuallly)10 days(usually flagyl).Feel better!

Thanks Pattyv
I did go to the gyno and I did have a uti, I was surprised because I didn't have any symptoms, no burning, urgency, frequency-nothin! All I had was readness. So, good thing I went!

Try Rephresh
Http://www.Drugstore.Com/qxp81228_333181_s espider/rephresh/vaginal_gel_pre_filled_ap plicators.Htm


eliminates vaginal odor - maintains vaginal ph

4 pre-filled applicators
2-week supply
each application lasts for 3 days
net wt 0.07 oz / 2g each
the normal vaginal ph of 4.5 or less helps maintain a delicate natural balance that favors normal vaginal flora. When the vaginal ph rises, odor-causing microorganisms can flourish. This vaginal odor may be particularly prominent after unprotected intercourse because of the high ph (7.8-8.2) of semen. (note: rephresh vaginal gel™ is not a contraceptive and does not contain a spermicide).

Rephresh vaginal gel™ eliminates vaginal odor often from the first dose. Rephresh vaginal gel™ contains no antimicrobial agent. The key ingredient in rephresh vaginal gel™ is polycarbophil, a bioadhesive polymer used in medical and healthcare products relied upon by thousands of women worldwide.

Rephresh is "bioadhesive", which means it adheres to the walls of the vagina and minimizes leakage.

Unlike vaginal douches, rephresh vaginal gel™ can reduce and maintain the vaginal ph in the normal range for 72 hours or more with a single application.
