Bacterial Vaginosis/Gardnerella

Bacterial vaginosis(BV) is a very common vaginal infection. Men typically have no symptoms but can be carriers.

It is not traditionally a sexually transmitted infection (STI). The causes are not fully understood but it may be caused by:

  • Semen in the vagina after sex without a condom.
  • Using perfumed bubble bath or soap.
  • Using a strong detergent to wash your underwear.
  • Smoking

50% of women have no symptoms but some women may notice:
A change in the normal discharge from the vagina.
Discharge may increase and become thin and watery and have a strong fishy smell, especially after sex.

If left untreated: For many women BV goes away without being treated. BV will not affect your chances of getting pregnant although if you are pregnant it may cause problems such as miscarriage.

BV treatment - Metronidazole

 

Trichomonas Vaginalis

Trichomonas Vaginalis is a parasitic infection which can lead to vaginal discharge and vulvar itching and swelling. There may not be any outward symptoms, in fact around 50% of infected women don't experience any. It can lead to urethritis and cystitis if left untreated. The infection can be passed from the mother to an unborn daughter during pregnancy. In men, the infection can progress to prostatitis.

Trichomonas Vaginalis treatments - Metronidazole

 

Ureaplasma Urealyticum/Parvum

Ureaplasma parvum has been categorized as a mucosal parasite living within the genito-urinary tracts. It is one of the smallest free living organisms known. It can cause diseases, including non-specific urethritis (NSU), infertility, chorioamnioitis, stillbirth, premature birth, and, in the perinatal period, pneumonia or meningitis.

Ureaplasma Parvum treatment include - Erythromycin, Azithromycin, Doxycycline

 

Mycoplasma Genitalium

This is a small parasitic bacterium which can be passed on during unprotected sex. This infection is treated using antibiotics. Past infection with mycoplasma genatilium can be associated with female infertility.

Mycoplasma Genitalium treatments include - Erythromycin, Azithromycin, Doxycycline
