Diagnostic tests are run to detect a series of bacteria pathogens responsible for Bacterial Vaginosis and Vaginitis.
Identifying Pathogen Detection
- Trichomonas vaginalis
- Escherichia coli
- Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS)
- MRSA Reflex
- Bacteroides fragilis
- Mycoplasma hominis
- Mobiluncus curtisii
- Mobiluncus mulieris
- Ureaplasma urealyticum
- Prevotella bivia
- Enterococcus faecalis
- Staphylococcus aureus
Symptoms
Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis include
- Foul odor
- Vaginal itching along with gray, white, or green vaginal discharge
- Burning sensation during urination
Causes and Risk Factors
Bacterial vaginosis occurs as a result of bacterial overgrowth and colonization within the vagina. Natural vaginal bacteria overgrows within the vagina, causing an abnormal ratio of bacterial anaerobes to lactobacilli.
There are many causes of bacterial vaginosis. Risk factors include multiple and or new sexual partners, douching that may cause unnatural bacterial growth, and natural lack of lactobacilli.
Treatments and Prevention
Preventing Bacterial vaginosis is important to decrease your risk of developing bacterial vaginosis. In order to minimize your risk, stay clear of vaginal irritants such as deodorant soaps and scented feminine products, avoid douching to maintain a bacteria, avoid sexually transmitted infections with contraception and limiting your number of sexual partners.
Most common treatments for bacterial vaginosis include prescription creams and gels along with antibiotic medication (Metronidazole, Clindamycin, Tinidazole).

Causes and Risk Factors

- While anyone can contract a gastrointestinal infection, some are at higher risk than others, including infants and children, elderly individuals, exposure to many people such as travelers and children in school, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
Treatments and Prevention
- Gastrointestinal infections can vary greatly. Some common treatments that decrease the symptoms of infection include avoiding solid foods, dairy products, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and sugary or fatty foods.
- Additionally it is important to drink plenty of fluids and staying hydrated. It is essential to slowly ease back into eating normally by primarily eating simple foods.
- Avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and diclofenac due to their ability to irritate the stomach.
- Medications such as Paracetamol can be taken to reduce symptoms of fever and abdominal pain.
