Bacterial infections of the vagina are uncommon. You get trichomoniasis or candidiasis of the vagina. Only bacterial infection commonly seen is gonococcal infection. You do not use cephalexin to treat the same. Cephalexin is first generation cephalosporin and is not very effective against the said bacteria and there may be noncompliance by the patient. Instead you use the single dose of injection ceftriaxone one gram IV to treat the gonorrhoea.

Yes , cipro is a very good and effective drug to cure bacterial vaginosis .

Bacterial vaginosis is a mild infection of the vagina caused by bacteria. Normally, there are a lot of "good" bacteria and some "bad" bacteria in the vagina. The good types help control the growth of the bad types. In women with bacterial vaginosis, the balance is upset. There are not enough good bacteria and too many bad bacteria.

Experts are not sure what causes the bacteria in the vagina to get out of balance. But certain things make it more likely to happen. Your risk of getting bacterial vaginosis is higher if you:

Have more than one sex partner or have a new sex partner.

Smoke.

Douche.

You may be able to avoid bacterial vaginosis if you limit your number of sex partners and don't douche or smoke.Bacterial vaginosis is more common in women who are sexually active. But it is probably not something you catch from another person.

Generally BV is treated with metronidazole or clindamycin. I do not believe cephalexin would be effective.

What are three strategies that can be used to treat contagious infections?

Strategies that can be used to treat contagious infections include medication to eradicate infection, alleviation of symptoms, and prevention. Bacterial, fungal, and protozoan infections can be treated with various medications. Bacterial infections are often treated with antibiotics that are selected based on the type and severity of the bacterial infection. Antiviral drugs are commonly used to treat respiratory viruses, herpes viruses, and HIV. Antifungal medications are either administered orally or topically depending on the severity and location of the fungal infection. Since there is no known cure for viral infections, medication can only treat the symptoms. This does provide some alleviation. Many infections, such as rubella and small pox, can be prevented through vaccinations.
