Bacterial Vaginosis
Last year I experience for the first time a bacterial vaginosis. It was horrible; a long month of intense itch, soreness and burning whenever I urinated or had intercourse. My mother recommended I try some over the counter antifungal cream, I purchase Monistat 7 ( Miconazole Nitrate 2%) and it worked great. I have not had reoccurrence of bacterial vaginosis but I have heard it is very common to experience a relapse.
Occurs when there is disequilibrium of normal vaginal flora where Lactobacilli decreases in population below normal and there is an increase of other bacteria. Three common microorganisms believed to be present and causing agents for bacterial vaginosis include Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis and

Garnerella Vaginalis is gram positive facultative anaerobic bacteria. This bacteria is not susceptible to the gram staining in diagnosing because it is a gram variable. G. vaginalis has exotoxin vaginolysin. G. vaginalis grows along with other anaerobic bacteria but it is not believed to be the cause of bacterial vaginosis but rather a signal of microbial imbalance.
Trichomonas vaginalis anaerobic flagellated protozoan acquiring its nutrients by transport cell membrane and phagocytosis. L. Lagenaur, B. Sanders-Beer, B. Brichacek, R. Pal, X. Liu, Y. Liu, D. Venzon, P. Lee, D. Hamer (2011)
Common symptoms of Bacterial vaginosis are extreme itching, pain, soreness, vaginal discharge followed with a foul odor and painful sexual intercourse. Signs would include a strawberry cervix and possible bubbles in vaginal fluid.
For diagnosing a sample of vaginal discharge is needed to perform a wet smear, then observe with microscope to find trichomonads protazoa and clue cells. Another test for diagnosing is the potassium hydroxide test which aims to find psudohypha and the fishy odor associated baterial
With identification of the condition, it can easily be treated with antibiotics. If the condition is difficult to treat, a sample can be taken to identify the causative agent, allergy testing, assess for diabetes, refer to urologist or skin specialist.

The bacteria that was contained within Unknown tube #12 is believed to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Figure 1. The bacteria tested to be Gram Stain negative, producing a pink, red color retained from the staining process. When the species of bacteria was plated on nutrient media, the cells produced an irregular and spreading configuration as shown in Figure 2. This same plating test provided the margins and elevation, lobate and hilly, respectively. The specimen was stabbed in a Fluid Thioglycollate Medium (FTM) tube using an inoculated loop of the bacteria. The results of this experimentation indicate the type of oxygen requirement of the bacteria. The test found the bacteria to be aerobic as colonies of the bacteria began to form along the top of the FTM tube (Manual 2017).
Chlamydia testing is quick, easy and painless. A urine sample is the most common method of testing for infection with chlamydia. It is also possible to have a swab test. This involves wiping a sterile cotton swab around the infected area (usually the genitals, although it may be the rectum, mouth or eyes in a small number of cases). The tests are extremely reliable when carried out by a doctor or nurse at a clinic, and will detect the vast majority of chlamydia cases.
“Silent “ infection is what chlamydia is known for because most people who get infected show no signs or evidence and can fall short of the physical examination findings when it comes to the disease. Halberstaedter and Von Prowazek first discovered chlamydia in 1907. These two came together that led to the discovery of chlamydial disease, which was observed in the mucus membrane of the front eye of an infected orangutan. However, over the last hundreds years with all the up coming studies about chlamydia we are able to
This condition is caused by bacteria. It is passed from an infected partner during sexual activity. This contact could be with the genitals, mouth, or rectal area.
Chlamydia trachomatis generally runs an asymptomatic course in appropriately 80% of women (Taylor, & Haggerty, 2011). Right now The CDC and US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend routine screening of all non-pregnant sexually active women aged 25 years and 24 years or younger (Shaw, Coleman, O'Sullivan, & Stephens, 2011). There two test that you can women to test for chlamydia in a clinical setting. One way is using a small cotton bud is gently wiped over the area that might be infected, such as inside the vagina or inside the anus or urinating into a container (). This currently available for young women anywhere in the United
The most common sexually transmitted infection is Chlamydia. About three million people are infected yearly (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004). It is especially common among teens and young adults. As is the case with many sexually transmitted infections, Chlamydia often has no symptoms and over half of the people infected have no idea they have anything to worry about (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004). Chlamydia can infect the genitals, eyes, and throat (Friedman & Skancke, 2009). Symptoms, when present, include painful or burning urination, discolored discharge, and uncomfortable swelling (Sutton, 2006). If Chlamydia is left untreated, it can lead to the inability to produce offspring in both males and females (Shoquist & Stafford, 2004).
women in his short stories. Because there were so many deaths with women it is hard to tell which ones are portrayed in his short stories but we know that they had a for sure impact. One of the first stories he wrote having to do with girls was “Berenice” a story about a man who rips out his dead lover 's teeth but then comes to realize she is still alive(Lepore 1). Another story of tragedy striking a girl is in “The Fall of the House of Usher
In the present study, analysis of genital hygiene behaviors among wild MBL genotypes estimated that bad genital hygiene behaviors increased the risk of RVVC by 3.47 times while the risk of RVVC has been elevated to 18.67 times in the presence of mutant MBL genotypes. These results supported the fact that RVVC is a monomicrobial; however, it is multifactorial disease in origin [36]. Moreover, good genital hygiene behaviors
Female Genital System: No discharge, itching, sores, lumps. Patient had her menstruation was 2 weeks ago normal menstruation.
Other vaginal infections such as bacterial Vaginosis; common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Trichomoniasis; Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections that cause genital warts and can lead to cervical cancer; Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
The collaborating style of conflict management would best be used during interpersonal conflict situations. For example, two employees disagreeing on the correct way to assist a customer with a challenging concern pertaining to their career. One employee may define the answer and state that ‘we’ve always done it this way;” and the other employee may point out that the guidance has changed and it is now completed a different way. This happens frequently where I work. Unfortunately, when someone leaves or retires from a job, the replacement is not usually hired until after that person is physically gone so there is no cross over or training or passed on to the new employee. Differences in opinions
Vulvovaginitis: If you develop an infection or excessive inflammation of the vagina or vulva tissues, you can be diagnosed with a common condition called vulvovaginitis. This condition has a number of causes, including poor hygiene, bacteria, viruses, yeasts and sexually transmitted diseases. Symptoms of vulvovaginitis can include vaginal itching and inflammation, abnormal vaginal discharge, urinary discomfort or unpleasant vaginal odor. Treatment of this condition typically involves the use of antifungal or antibiotic medications (oral or
Children are being babied way too much. Children are becoming extremely spoiled; to the point of no return. An end needs to be put to this before an inevitable catastrophe occurs! If ever given the chance, it is quite frightening to think about where this generations kids will stand a few years from now, is it not? Something needs to be done.
