Partner Diagnosed With Gardenella
Posted: 04-13-05 02:22am
My partner has been diagnosed with gardenella and I am wondering how it typically presents itself in men. I am unsure if I am now dealing with just gardenella or have another std. I am experiencing red splotches on just the head of my penis. They do not get enlarged or pimple-like, rather they are flat and red and difficult to see, but the discoloration is certainly there. I have no discharge or pain when urinating, or any other symptoms. Anyone else out there go through a gardenella infection and could relate their symptoms?

Unprotected Sex?

Did you have unprotected sex because if you did you most likely have whatever she or he has... But it sounds to me like a yeat infection but most likely the only way a man gets a yeast infection is by unprotectected sex with a woman. Anyways go to the doctor both are treatable.

It turned out to be lichen planus and was easily treated with clobetasol propionate, the bumps went away in about 2 weeks.

Relax!

Relax, because it is not a virus or anything majorly serious. A virus does not cause gardenella vaginosis; genital symptoms caused by viruses include the venereal wart and genital wart. This infection (bv) is the most common cause of vaginal symptoms among women, not men, especially those who are sexually active. It is a painful inflammation of the vagina whose symptoms include an abnormal fishy smelling discharge. It is also referred to as nonspecific vaginitis.

Sometimes it "stinks" being a woman. I was trying to use a little humor here! Stick with the doctor and discuss your concerns with your pcp in case i'm missing something.
