Monitoring

Bacterial vaginosis

  • Follow-up is not recommended if symptoms resolve. Recurrence of bacterial vaginosis is not unusual and women should be advised to return for additional therapy if symptoms recur.

  • A treatment regimen different from the original regimen may be used to treat recurrent disease.

Trichomoniasis

  • Re-testing is recommended for all sexually active women within 3 months of initial treatment. This is because of a high rate of re-infection.[4]

Vulvovaginal candidiasis

  • Women should be instructed to follow up if symptoms persist or recur within 2 months of onset of initial symptoms.
