Aerobic vaginitis

[ShetlandTony]

Shamelessly re-posting in Chat for the traffic..

Hi all

After a tortuous journey with various symptoms, I think I might have aerobic vaginitis. A high amount of enterococcus faecalis was found on a swab test I had done.

It seems this is a bit of an unrecognised / understood illness. Therefore does anyone have any experience of effective treatment?

Also, can anyone recommend a good specialist? I am in Cambridgeshire but willing to travel.

Thanks in advance

You'll need to try antibiotics, but unfortunately, that bacteria is often very resistant to them, so you may need to use herbal remedies like oral doses of cinnamon, ginger, black cumin seed oil and tumeric. You can buy them as capsules. You'll then need to replace the beneficial flora with probiotics. Also, be extremely careful about hygiene or you may reinfect yourself. I haven't had it myself, but a friend did. Apparently it spreads very easily, so if course no sex until it's gone.

That’s not helpful Oodiks

OP I can’t advise but hope you can find something helpful like suggested by XChrome

Thanks @AdoraBell and @XChrome . It's been a tough time for me health wise lately. Mirena coil for pre cancerous cells, mammoth UTi, hysterectomy and now this! Seems like an underappreciated condition so I'm keen to hear people's experiences. Xxx
