Hey, hoping someone could help me make some sense of the situation I’m in. At my latest ob-gyn visit I had a pap screen as well and it showed I had Coccobacilli infection. My ob-gyn says that this means I have bacterial vaginosis and that I need another test to see if it’s caused by chlamydia or some other bacteria. I’m not sure how I could gotten chlamydia, but it’s a week later now after I took the antibiotics and almost all the symptoms I went to see ob-gyn in the first place are still here. I’m having pretty heavy whitish discharge and I feel as if as antibiotics might have made things even worse because now I think I have yeast infection. I've started taking probiotic supplement figuring it might help at least somewhat, but I still don't know what should I do to get rid of Coccobacilli.
Hi Guest,
He didn't say you had chlamydia.
Coccobacilli is a group of bacterium. Chlamyidia is one, so is gardnerella vaginalis - bacteria vaginosis.
Antibiotics can make BV worse.
Wait for the result of the second test. If you do have chlamydia you could have had it for years.
Make sure you tell the doctor about any medications - including the probiotics that you are taking.
Good luck.
