Hello Doctor, I Am Asking This Question On Behalf Of
Question: Hello Doctor,
I am asking this question on behalf of my wife. My wife is 27 years old. She was diagnosed with Enterococcus Faecalis and Escherichia Coli through vaginal swab test. She was prescribed with Ampicillin 1000 mg x 10 days and Fluomycin (vaginal suppositories). After a month, vaginal swab re-test says she is clear of E.Faecalis but the concentration of Escherichia Coli has increased.
The Urologist has prescribed Antibiotic shots for a week and also suggests a vaccination (after antibiotic shot course). He said that the oral antibiotics and vaginal suppositories are not good for the stomach and vagina respectively. I also have Enterococcus Faecalis in my semen culture and now I am currently being treated with Antibiotic shots. We are planning for a kid.
Questions:
1. Does vaccination affect anyways fertility for my wife?
2. How long does my wife needs to take antibiotic shots to get cleared of E.Coli?
3. Under worst situations, if my E.Faecalis doesn't clear what are the options for pregnancy?
