Im a 35yr female Ive been diagnosed with streptococcus agalactiae vaginal infection Im not pregant I gave birth 9 months ago. What is the cause of this infection? could it be something wrong we are doing during intercourse. We use olive oil as alubricant because Im very dry, could this be the cause and who is the source of the infection me or my husband? what treatment should my husband take? Ive been given erythromycin and polygynax vaginal capsules for 12 days but nothing for my husband i dont want to be re-infected and what preventetive measures should i take to prevent this or any other infection from occuring? can we have sex during the treatment period?
Thanks for posting you query to Chat Doctor. Streptococcus galactic can be present without causing harm to you in a carrier state .this organism cause infection to baby during vaginal delivery. So presently you do not need to worry. The infection can be received from any environmental source so better to avoid use of lubricant as sterility is doubtful of olive oil. You are using. For your Chat Doctor.  Treatment can be taken by both of you at same time and during treatment you can use condom during sex .hope you would be satisfied with my answer.  Feel free to communicate if any query.regards,
