Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that you are suffering from bacterial vaginitis. Raised pus cells and mix bacterial growth in vaginal discharge is suggestive of bacterial vaginitis. For bacterial vaginitis I advice my patient to take metronidazole 400mg twice daily for a week, also you can use 2% clarithromycin ointment for local application. maintain the hygiene. Also during this period avoid sexual intercourse. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
