I again had a HSV-PCR test done (which was negative), STD blood tests for everything including HSV - IgG blood test (negative for both hsv1 and hsv2) and bacterial swab test done.
However the bacterial swab test came back negative which concerned me.
The 4th dr who examined me (and who participated in the surgery) did a gram stain of my discharge but was not bothered of the gram negative rods in the lab result. Her senior who reviewed my lab results, prescribed taking of metrodinazole and thats barely two weeks before my scheduled operation.
After the operation, the doctors told me that surgery wasnt necessary, and I could have just treated with antibiotics. They prescribed clindamycin (4x/d) and doxycyclin (2x/d) for two weeks.
Coccobacilli are rod shaped bacteria, but they are short and fat, so that they look like a cross between rods (bacilli) and spheres (cocci). There are many types of coccobacilli including Haemophilus influenzae, Chlamydia trachomatis, Acinetobacter species, Pasteurella multocida, and a number of others. They are usually opportunistic pathogens, causing no problem until the other flora of the region are disturbed. All of them respond to antibiotic treatment.
Have you recently been retested by your doctor? If you drank a 75 gram glucose drink - for an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test [OGTT] - your preferred 2 hour maximum level is expected to be <140 mg/dl [< = less than]. However, some labs, and some doctors, use <180 mg/dl as the maximum range. Talk with your doctor and get properly tested - Fasting, OGTT and A1c tests. Lastly, try to restrict your consumption of bad carbs.
Borrelia is neither gram negative nor gram positive, but in the past, it was mistakenly thought to be gram negaive. Some old publications out there still call it gram negative (incorrectly). Here is a good biological description.

Jon is right, quit smoking. It's not easy, but millions of us have. My Grandfather referred to cigarettes as 'pimp sticks', and once I made the decision to quit, I kept that word in mind. It helped.
The ratio of your LDL and HDL is wonderful, the HDL is pushing the LDL out of your arteries, and I'm betting your arteries are clean. I'd mix in a gram of Omega 3 fish oils, a gram twice a day, and I'm betting you will see your Tri's go lower.
You need to have a complete assessment of your hormones including FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, TSH, DHEAS, Testostoerone, 17OH-progesterone, fasting insulin, a 2 hour GTT with a 75 gram glucose challenge, lipid panel, kidney functions and liver functions. Women with PCOS have an increased risk for diabetes or glucose intolerance or insulin resistance.
