|
Text 
|
The diagnosis is made by examining a wet smear under microscope or by culture.
A sample of vaginal fluid is seen under a microscope either by staining or under a special lighting, to look for bacteria associated with Bacterial vaginosis. 1· Vaginosis is diagnosed if any three of the following conditions are present:  A clear background. Absence of lactobacilli. Presence of numerous "clue cells" (bacteria’s that adhere to the squamous epithelial cells that line the vagina giving them a fuzzy border, hence called clue cells). Presence of Gardnerella bacteria under the microscope.2· Characteristic Vaginal discharge A characteristic fishy odour when a drop of vaginal discharge is mixed with a drop of 10% potassium hydroxide.3· Amine Test: Shows raised vaginal pH when a narrow range indicator paper is used. |

Posted on: 07/29/2008 Upon entering the Menopause stage, I found myself with reoccuring Bacterial Vaginosis. I took antibotics for over a years off and on and it still came back. Then I remembered that years ago a doctor recommended Betidine douche for a bacterial infection. I HIGHLY recommend you try it.
