| Suggested Pre-Referral Evaluation and Management Guidelines |
| 1) | Depends on type: |
| | Yeast - Control any precipitating factors. Eliminate all unnecessary antibiotics, control diabetes if present, optimize immunosuppressant disease if applicable and possible. Avoid 1- and 3-day topical treatment (use 7-day) |
| 2) | BV: |
| | Use oral metronidazole for 7 days |
