A vaginal bacterial infection can most of the time, be classed as a simple yeast infection. By determining for certain through a checkup that what you have is a vaginal bacterial infection you can then set about the task of finding the right kind of treatment for it.
By going in for a checkup you also give yourself some maneuvering room to take preventative action against a possible recurrence of your vaginal bacterial infection.
Most vaginal bacterial infections will be uncomfortable and will generally have you running around in circles to find a relief from the itching, or burning sensations you might suffer from.
With a vaginal bacterial infection such as a yeast infection you might also have to deal with a cottage cheese-like discharge which can also have an unpleasant acrid smell to it.
There’s no help for it really, if you do suffer from a vaginal bacterial infection you will need to get it treated as the chances are good that it won’t go away on its own. You’ll also want to try and abstain from having sexual relations until the vaginal bacterial infection clears up as well.
Since it’s an “infection” and not something else there’s a better than even chance that you can pass on your vaginal bacterial infection to your partner as well regardless of whether they’re male or female.
However in the event that you find yourself unable to abstain from sexual intercourse, you might want to practice safe sex and use condoms as far as possible. Although this might not be a 100% fool proof method of protecting against the transmittance of your vaginal bacterial infection it does stand a better chance than using nothing at all.
Also, with a vaginal bacterial infection you will want as far as possible to stop it from recurring. You might be cured of the initial vaginal bacterial infection but you can get it again through sexual intercourse with an infected partner, so it’s always best to be aware of that possibility.
To that end, taking all the necessary precautions, changing dietary habits and generally as stress free lives as possible can go a long way in fighting a vaginal bacterial infection. With minor changes such as these you give your immune system a fighting chance to stand up against whatever infection might be thinking about your body.
