LISA CLARK: Any additional thoughts that youd like to add?
GLORIA BACHMANN, MD: I think the other important issue is to complete your therapy. Many women will come in and say to me, “You know what? I finished sooner than I should of according to the package, because I felt better.” And I think it’s important to complete the complete therapy and not stop midway. The other is if a woman still feels that she has symptoms, they haven’t gone away completely, then that’s time to go back to the doctor and again go through the full evaluation of having a pelvic examination, having the physician look at the secretions under the microscope to be sure that the infection has been resolved with the medication. LISA CLARK: So bottom line, start with a doctor and make sure that your doctor knows — when you’ve completed treatment — that the infection is gone. GLORIA BACHMANN, MD: Exactly. LISA CLARK: All right. Thanks all of you for joining us; we really appreciate your time. And thanks to all of you in our web audience. I’m Lisa Clark. Watch Video Watch Vi
