Gardnerella Vaginalis And Clamidya Posted: 09-16-06 12:35pm
My girlfriend did a test for some stds.
The doctor said she had positive results
with gardnerella vaginalis and clamidya,
but the medications was apparently only
metronidazole. Isnt metronidazole only a
treatment for gardnerella vaginalis?
Shouldn't the doctor tell her to take
doxycyline or some other antibiotic to
treat clamidya, because the doctor is
saying that the treatment for gardnerella
vaginalis is the same as for clamidya.
Thank you

Perhaps the doctor is trying to treat on
after the other so that the medications
don't cancel eachother out. I am not sure
though but if he actually states that it
is the same treatment then it might
actually be similar treatments.... I am
not sure but that is my opinion. If you
want, do more research on the medications
and see what they treat, if they cancel
eachother out, what makes up the
medications and compare them.
Also if she did the test and came out
positive for those stds perhaps you should
do a test yourself
not saying that you two have had sex with
tons of people or anything like that...
But to be on the safe side
wish you to best of luck, sorry if I
wasn't that much of help... But good
luck...
