Women with a vaginosis bacteria, a repetitive situation that creates the risk of pregnancy, may benefit from the sexual members of the male treated with antibiotics, which was the risk of returning symptoms according to the trial.
“Treating male partners were most significant to improve repetition rates in women who have seen in decades,” says Catriona Bradshaw Melbourne at Monash University, Australia, who directed the work.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) affect A quarter of the reproductive elderly women worldwide. When the vagina is “harmful” occurs in the vagina, causing vaginal discharge GRAY-white turn and smell fishwith serious complications. “A woman increases the risk of acquiring a lot of sexual infections, like HIV, and the complications of pregnancy, such as early birth and wrong birth,” says Bradshaw says.
Doctors usually use antibiotics or cream that can be applied inside the vagina. “One of the two women will receive the recommended treatment scheme for BV within three to six months,” Bradshaw says.
To do this, Bradshaw and his colleagues hired 137 women with a Monogamous woman with bacterial vaginosis in Australia, along with male partners. Every woman took standard antibiotics for a week, and half of the partners gave oral antibiotics and applied a cream of antibiotics at the same time. The rest of the men have not received treatment. None of the participants were transsexual.
Three months later, 63% of women who were not treated were repetitive symptoms, and 35% of women who received antibiotics would happen again. “It’s certainly a woman’s impact that is worth this group,” he says Janneke van de wijgert Netherlands at the University of Utrecht.
“Continuous BV and, completely, I will apply this new information to my clinical practice,” he says Christina Muzny From the University of Alabama in Birmingham.
The team did not follow all participants in the long run, but some returned a few years later to say they remain without symptoms. “Last week, they’ve been talking about two years, and these women repeated before the trial,” he says Lenka vodstrclcl Monash university.
However, the approach will not work for women with sexual members, where it can be difficult to adhere to antibiotics, according to Van de Wijgert. Also in monogamous relationships, perhaps males are not always ready to take antibiotics, he says. “We’ve seen the use of the condom, which reduces the repetition of BV – it can really be difficult for women to get their male partner use condoms.”
