Shouldn't : It's best you don't.  Get the benefit of having the treatment work for you. Sex is sometimes the cause of bv. You may react to the brand of condoms. Or the spermicide on the condoms.

Question 7

i'm a 20 year old female being treated for bv using the vaginal gel. i'm on a 10 day course. can i have anal sex during treatment? protected vaginal?

Accepted Answer

Whoa Nellie!: Come on buckeroos, how about doing the "unthinkable" by actually waiting until the vaginal infection has cleared as no matter how carefully one "rides that anal horse" bacteria will be spread around worsening the vaginal infection.

Question 8

ive been treated for bv several times. i just started getting it out the blue. but i still feel no relieved ?

Accepted Answer

Recurrent BV: You don't say what Rx's you were previously treated with or by what type of MD. Recurrent vaginal bacterial vaginitis is usually a function of improper treatment, reintroduction by sexual activity, or a vaginal pH (acidity/alkalinity scale) that is altered by vaginal agents/products. Have your GYN MD do a bacterial culture to determine the type of bacteria to be treated for accurate Rx.

Question 9

i've been diagnosed with bv and i was treated for it twice because the green discharge wouldn't go away. it still hasn't gone away,what's the problem?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: There are several possible causes of a green vaginal discharge.  If you have been treated for BV but still have the discharge, its possible that the diagnosis is incorrect.  The best thing to do is to see your doctor and get an exam, cultures and other tests to find out if the diagnosis is correct and treat the correct cause.  Best wishes!
