I did a google search on "vaginal coccobacilli" and it came up with the bacterial vaginosis suggestion.Here is a page about BV (Bacterial Vaginosis)http://www.womenshealth.org/a/bacterial_vaginosis_facts.htmBV is not sexually transmitted. The bacteria is there all the time but it is kept in check by lactobacilli (a good bacteria in our body). If the good bacteria get killed off, the bad ones take over and become prominant. It's only when they OVERgrow that they causes symptoms. Antibiotics, birth controll pills, and douching are the best known reasons for the natural flora (lactobacilli) to die off like that so that the coccobacilli (and other bacteria's) can take over. For some people, semen can change the vaginal pH toward bad bacteria as well.Hope this is helpful.Lynn *****END OF MESSAGE/REMOVE WHEN REPLYING*****http://groups.yahoo.com/group/VulvarDisordersto search our
