I keep getting bacterial infections and keep going back to the doctor for medicine. Any suggestions?




Uncomforta


I have recurring bacterial infections. I feel like the medicine I am being given to treat the infection is not strong enough and doesn't completely fight off the bacterial. Has anyone been in this situation before and does anyone know anything that can be done?


Answer
Well, generally I can say that if the treatment and diagnosis is right there should be no problem. Do you take antibiotics on right dosages and frequency? If antibacterials are suddenly stopped or minimized, drug resistance may occur thereby decreasing it's effectiveness. If that should happen, a "stronger" type of antibiotic is given OR a combination of drugs to increase potency.

What are symptoms of vaginal bacterial infections?




NYC123


I used to have a lot of discharge with no smell whatsoever. In the last year my discharge has stopped and I have an odor on my underwear...is this normal? Is this the sign of a bacterial infection bc I heard any change in the amount of discharge means you have one. Thanks!


Answer
Signs of Bacterical Vaginosis is white/gray discharge with a "fish" like odor. If you have Bacterial Vaginosis, it doesn't mean you will have all the symptoms, some women who have this will not even notice any symptoms at all. But as long as you have any odor, you need to get checked, because it's not supposed to have an unpleasant odor.

Good Luck! :)
