A member asked:
I've just been diagnosed with gardnerella vaginitis & a yeast infection. i was given diflucan (fluconazole) & flagyl. should my husband be treated also?

No: These are not expressly sexually transmitted infections. The pathophysiology has more to do with the micro-environment of your vagina that allows overgrowth of what some would argue are normally commensal flora. Diflucan (fluconazole) is for the yeast and Flagyl is for the gardnerella spp.
