A member asked:
How do you treat a man for bv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not generally at all: Several studies have looked for any benefit to treating male sexual partners while treating women for bacterial vaginosis. However, none of these studies have shown any benefit to doing so. As a result, men are generally not treated when they female partners have bv.
