Strep B

[Dr Helen Fawcett]

Hi. Strep B can cause symptoms particularly post menopausal lay with discharge and soreness. Post menopausally you lose the vaginal acidity which oestragen gives, which prevents bacterial infections. You could use some oestragen vaginaly to prevent infections by restoring vaginal acid ph. These doses of oestragen are very low and do not get into your circulation. If you have steep B now it needs treating with antibiotics.
