Question 1

i keep getting reinfected with bacterial vaginosis after sex with my boyfriend.why?

Accepted Answer

Try condoms a while: If bacterial vaginosis keeps returning, a woman may be getting something from her partner. Both persons can examined by a doctor at about the same time, to see if there are other contributing factors. A woman might recover better if she keeps semen out of her vagina for a while, to allow her vagina to naturally self-clean and return to normal. That means using condoms for some weeks.

Question 2

suddenly every time im sexually active, i get bacterial vaginosis ? at one point uti's was a issue, now bacterial vaginosis & it comes only after sex?

Accepted Answer

Try condoms: Assuming you have been examined and had testing, try using lubricant and using condoms. If all testing negative, try rephresh (over the counter) after each period for few months.

Question 6

No: Bacterial vaginosis is not transmitted in this way.

Question 7

postcoital bleeding over a yr and becoming more frequent, pelvic exam, std tests, and pap smear all normal, only have bacterial vaginosis, wats wrong?

Accepted Answer

Cervicitis?: Spotting after sex often means inflammation of the cervix (cervicitis) or cervical ectopy, a common condition on birth control pills or other hormone contraception. It can be gonorrhea or chlamydia, but these would show up on standard STD tests. Sometimes a uterine problem. Keep working with your doctor; it should be possible to find an explanation and perhaps treatment, e.g. cervical cautery.

Question 8

why do i get bacterial vaginosis everytime i have sex? (got rid of it a few weeks ago, now it's come back) only one sex partner.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal pH change: Intercourse is obviously providing a change in the vaginal bacterial content. Have your partner wash thoroughly his penis and scrotum prior to intercourse including the area under the foreskin It is where smega accumulates in uncircumsized men which contains bacteria. Make it a part of foreplay in the shower if needed to "elicit his cooperation".

Question 9

can i get bacterial vaginosis home remedies?

Accepted Answer

No,, see a gyn: U need antibiotics either vaginal or oral, you can take acidolphilus or pre- biotics to help prevent getting BV but that will not treat bv.

Question 10

how is bacterial vaginosis transmitted? is through having multiple sex partners?

Accepted Answer

Can be: Bacterial vaginosis is a description for when a 'normal' vaginal flora (bacteria) grows in abnormal proportion and becomes the dominant bacteria in your vagina.... Over the normal dominant bacteria (the good bacteria, lactobaccilli).  Many things cause bv, including exposure to different bacteria through multiple sex partners, allergens, toxins, changes in exercise, stress, diet.
