Streptococcus: Doctors and Gynocologist only please?!


Question: I've been having problems and my Gynecologist had told me I had bacterial vaginosis infection and prescribed me antibiotics twice (this was about 4 months ago). I still have dryness and irritation and also missed a period. No sexual contact in a very long time. I am still worried. I got tested for all STDs and I am clean of them. I looked back on my records of results and found this:
"Moderate Streptococcus, Group B, beta-hemolytic. Normal urogenital flora also present."
Should I be worried about this?
I've been searching around the internet and seen that having a newborn with this, can be fetal.

GBBS or Group B Beta-hemolytic Strep is a common bacteria that many ppl carry. The only reason why it's important is that women who have GBBS in their vagina need to get IV antibiotics at the time of labor to help prevent GBBS related meningitis and other infections of the newborn.

One out of every four women are colonized with Group B Streptococcus in the vagina or rectum.
Please see the web pages for more details on Bacterial vaginosis, Vaginal dryness and Group B streptococcus.
