A member asked:
Is it possible for vulvovaginitis to persist even after types of bacteria are diagnosed (dna probe) and treated? antibiotics aren't working.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vulvovaginitis : It is possible you have a "mixed" infection with more than one infectious agent that wasn't tested. In addition, you may be resistant to the antibiotic, even though it is intended to eradicate the identified organism. You need to follow up with the gynecologist and search for an explanation for the failed therapy.
