A: chronic vaginitis and Copper T IUD

[Guest guest]

,

have you taken a sample and tested for yeast / BV?

I have frequently seen chronic BV in patients with both the copper and

the non hormonal IUD's. In particular I have found unusual strains of

staph. All have begun with the insertion of IUD.

They respond well to combination with 1-2 rounds of Yeast Arrest and

HMF suppositories. Sometimes I also use a Chinese herb patent called

Chien chin chih tian wan... sorry it is not an UNDA answer.
