GARDNERELLOSIS, how to treat it..

Typically, bacterial vaginosis comes as part of a package with other sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore, good diagnosis by a venereologist and treatment are necessary. Go to a regular public STD clinic; it's cheaper there. And get treated together with your partner, otherwise they will keep reinfecting you.

I got tested for STDs and thankfully everything is normal for me... It's definitely necessary for my husband to get checked; they can be carriers of these bacteria.

I treated it a hundred years ago, successfully, and the pills weren't expensive.
This nonsense definitely isn't worth hospital treatment.
Go to any other private clinic where they'll give you all the prescriptions directly.
It'll be cheaper.

And don't panic—of course, your husband should be checked and treated, but bacterial vaginosis doesn't necessarily come bundled with other STIs, and it can even flare up due to a weakened immune system and other such nonsense.

You would know best…

And don't even ask where such knowledge comes from.

I got tested for everything when I didn't know what I had... It's true that men don't get sick from it, but apparently they can be carriers, I read online )))

Well, I don't know about that... but if I'm not mistaken, it's not a venereal disease at all, but just ordinary vaginal dysbiosis.

))))))))))))))))))))))

Well, you, Irina, have spoken()))))

That's exactly right.

So, how was this ailment treated, can anyone tell me?

I also had gardnerellosis for a long time with very pronounced watery discharge, just like water. I treated it with metronidazole, ornidazole, etc. (whatever the doctor prescribed), but the situation didn’t change.
In the end, I read on some website that it is treated either with metronidazole-containing drugs or with clindamycin-based drugs. I decided to try the second option, bought Dalacin suppositories (a more expensive analog) at the pharmacy, and after the full course, everything is great!)))

What nonsense they write about sexually transmitted infections and diseases... Gardnerellosis, also known as bacterial vaginosis, isn't even an inflammation; it's a disruption of the vaginal flora and acidity. It occurs when immunity is lowered or due to poor nutrition. There's nothing particularly scary about it—ornidazole, viferon, and fluomizin handle gardnerella perfectly well.

Terzhinan suppositories at night and Trichopol tablets, 1 tablet in the morning and evening.

I was prescribed injections of Gentamicin and Claforan.

What gentamicin, what are you talking about, that's a strong antibiotic, they use it to treat pneumonia, and here there isn't even an inflammation. Give my regards to your doctor, tell them that there is ornidazole, metronidazole, Terzhinan and Viferon, and let them read about unjustified antibiotic prescriptions.

I haven't been able to cure gardnerella for a year now. I've tried four treatments: ornidazole, metronidazole, levofloxacin, clindamycin, viferon, metrogyl gel, neopenotran, doxycycline—and that's probably only a tenth of everything I've tried. Nothing helps, I don't know what to do. The thing is, it's really tormenting me—the discharge and the smell—I can't take it anymore. I've taken tests: PCR, culture for flora and fungi, and antibiotic susceptibility testing—no pathogenic flora was detected. No treatment is required. All the treatments were prescribed by doctors—experienced, practicing ones, heads of departments, etc. Today I'm going to a fifth gynecologist for test results and a treatment plan...

Well, from what you listed, only ornidazole and metronidazole directly target gardnerella. But since it's actually a disruption of the flora and reduced immunity, the comprehensive approach includes viferon suppositories, vaginorm C for sure, and acilact suppositories, tablets like vagilac to populate the vagina with lactobacilli. If you just kill the gardnerella with metronidazole and don't create an acidic vaginal environment or strengthen the local defenses, it will definitely come back. So, I don't know what they prescribed for you, but that's how it was explained to me, and that's the regimen I was prescribed—and I completely forgot about gardnerella.

Thank you for your response, I forgot to add—with this aggressive treatment, they were also treating me for ureaplasma (PCR), but I've had it for over 7 years, it never bothered me or showed any symptoms; it showed up during pregnancy. When the unpleasant symptoms started, ureaplasma also showed up, so it turns out they were treating it, with gardnerella as a secondary issue. Yesterday I picked up my test results—everything is clear, even leukocytes are normal. But my complaints remain. The doctor prescribed vagilac vaginally (14 days) and lactobacilli orally for 1.5 months. Now I'm thinking it's quite possible that my immune system crashed due to stress, and with all the treatments, I've completely wrecked my flora.

I went to another doctor, and she prescribed me Trichopol tablets, Clotrimazole suppositories, then Acylact suppositories, and Genferon rectally. I hope it helps... although my symptoms have subsided again now, I wonder when it's best to start the treatment.

A venereologist is what you need! Not a gynecologist! A gynecologist won't cure the infection, they'll just take your money for nothing! The direct route is to the Venereal and Skin Disease Dispensary.

By the way, I'll say this as someone with firsthand experience in this matter. It really is a professional disease for prostitutes. Because the normal vaginal flora has an acidic environment, despite the initially negligible amount of Gardnerella in the vast majority of healthy women.
Due to constant contact with different partners, prostitutes are forced to wash themselves multiple times a day using cleansing products that have an alkaline environment. Thus, hookers "shift" the environment toward alkaline, in which Gardnerella thrives and develops successfully.

What nonsense they've written! If you don't understand the topic, why scare people? Bacterial vaginosis can develop due to vaginal dysbiosis, and it's treatable—and not for 15 thousand... Plus, it can often recur, so I also recommend taking a probiotic to restore the vaginal flora. I was prescribed Ecofemin Floravag for a 10-day course, along with an antibiotic to kill harmful bacteria. Honestly, I don’t know anything about endometritis... Why can’t you go to a public clinic?

15 thousand? That's quite a rip-off, they're really taking you for a ride). I agree with the last review, bacterial vaginosis is actually pretty easy to treat, just don’t forget about the probiotic. I was also prescribed Ecofemin FloraVag, along with antibiotics of course, but I recovered quickly and had no issues. Ecofemin FloraVag specifically restores the vaginal microflora, which is why it’s so effective for these kinds of diagnoses.

You need to maintain hygiene, boost your immunity, and restore your gut flora. I got sick when I was abroad because the water quality was poor. I didn’t take any antibiotics. I used Genferon suppositories, Cycloferon injections (immunomodulators), suppositories with Bifidumbacterin, and Linex. It worked the first time, knock on wood.

I might be a bit late to the conversation, but just in case. A year after giving birth, I also developed bacterial vaginosis, which I mistook for a yeast infection—and so did the doctors, by the way—since the discharge was heavy but odorless. Basically, it couldn’t be treated properly because I was still breastfeeding. At first, I used Pimafucin suppositories, and then baking soda, which only made things worse. Then I washed with saltwater, and the itching stopped immediately. I did this about three times a day for several days because I was really afraid the itching would come back. After that, I rinsed all my underwear in saltwater too, and now it’s been two months with no issues. If anything happens again, I’ve got my salt shaker ready.

I'm treating this nasty thing with metronidazole and tinidazole. I'll see what the results are. Wishing everyone good health.

Terzhinan didn't help me

It's not helping(((

Try replacing Terzhinan with Elgina. That's what my gynecologist recommended to me. I used to always treat myself with Terzhinan before, but Elgina turned out to be much better. Not only does it not burn the mucous membrane, but it also works excellently.

You don't seem very literate)))

Oh, thank you, kind soul!!!! And here I am washing myself all day with soap, thinking that by improving hygiene, I'll get rid of the recurrences, but the fishy smell keeps coming back! Turns out, I'm washing away all the natural protection! Thank youuuuu for the info!!!!

Read about this disease before insulting people. It's primarily a disruption of the gut microbiome. Weak immunity. Bacteria from a sick gut migrate to the vagina. I've been suffering from this for a long time. And I don't even have a man.

Same nonsense, only 2 years

I'm a prostitute, I always use condoms. Nobody brings anything in. I treat everything with Miramistin, including the lower part. But I got sick. I think it's because of 2, 3 contacts a day, the flora just gets washed out, if you can put it that way. Now the slightest stress, and it all comes back. Now I use a lot of lube so they don't go in too hard. But the smell has gotten stronger.

So that means all women are prostitutes, including you?)))

Sorry for the late reply. How is your issue now, has it been resolved? If so, how did you handle it?

By the way, I'll say this as someone experienced firsthand in this matter. It really is a professional disease of prostitutes. Because the normal vaginal flora has an acidic environment, despite the initially negligible amount of gardnerella in the vast majority of healthy women.
Due to constant contact with different partners, prostitutes are forced to wash themselves many times a day using cleaning products that have an alkaline environment. Thus, hookers "shift" the environment toward alkaline, in which gardnerella thrives and develops. And if a woman has heavy discharge, for example thrush, and she constantly wants to wash because she feels uncomfortable. What does prostitution have to do with it? Are you in your right mind?!

Maybe you're confusing it with gonorrhea??

Gardnerellosis is not a sexually transmitted disease!

Gardnerellosis is not a sexually transmitted disease!

Yes, Clindacin works great. After the course, everything goes away.
A pack of three suppositories, 508 rubles. You need 10 (three packs).

Boost your immunity

Your statement is complete bullshit. This is a conditionally pathogenic flora that can even appear from scented pads and tampons.

Has anyone tried Macmiror? Tablets and suppositories for 15 days. It should help.

Are you fucking crazy or what????

Judging by this, the person is speaking from personal experience)))

Oh look, a pimp for prostitutes has appeared 😂
Well now everyone's here, we're waiting for some fascinating stories from you and Irina 😅

I'm married and definitely not a prostitute)))), but for the last 5 years this crap has been bothering me, examinations showed - reduced immunity, so you're mistaken!

Oh, you're such a nutcase 😂 where did you read such nonsense. Good lord!
And yes, I have the right to say this, as I'm a doctor myself! Don't spout bullshit, and don't mislead girls! You damn armchair experts!
