Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to change in vaginal PH and normal flora. Using intimate wash regularly will help you normalize this. If urinary infection is there then antibiotic should be taken and culture & sensitivity of urine should be done. Levoquin can be enough for uti. Antibiotic should be changed if necessary after culture report. But if bacterial vaginosis is positive after doing vaginal swab this is not enough. Metronidazole should be taken orally or as vaginal suppository for this.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
