Any Suggestion For Suffering From Bladder/vaginal Infection?

I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and a vaginal infection. I assume its bacterial vaginosis because my doctor prescribed Bactrim and Metrogel. But because I have Raynaud's Syndrome, I can't use Metrogel. So my doctor has now prescribed Cipro. But how would either one help with the vaginosis? And as for the bladder infection, couldn't I just take one because they both treat UTIs?

welcome to healthcaremagic forum.
regarding bacterial vaginosis:It is characterized by white-yellow discharge,with sometime a fishy odor.It is usually treated with metronidazole.metro is usually safe even in raynauds.cipro is not usually effective for bacterial vaginosis,but it will help other vaginal conditions like gonorrhea(yello foul smelling discharge).
Regarding cystitis:it is the most common urinary tract infection in females,and responds well to bactrim/cipro.
meanwhile,you take plenty of oral fluids.
i hope you will find this information useful.wishing you a faster recovery.thank you.
