why not treat gardnerella in men if they show symptoms and a postive test?
why not treat gardnerella in men if they show symptoms and a postive test?
After one year of lab tests (which consistantly showed reinfections of candida albicans) it was found that the underlying problem was gardnerella. My partner and I had felt sure that the candida albicans was just a side result rather than the main cause for our discomfort so we are happy to finally have had this detected.
My partner has suffered the same symptoms as myself for the past year such intermittant burning and itchiness and general irritation after inter-course. I was treated with a 7 day course of Flagyl for the gardnerella this week. Please could you explain why the male partner is not given the same treatment to avoid reinfection? I`m concerned that a new sexual contact between us will result in me getting gardnerella again. Thanks in advance.
