A member asked:

I just found out that i have gardnerella vaginitis. almost two months ago i had oral sex, he came outside.can this be the cause of my infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: This bacterial overgrowth occurs when ther is a shift in the amount of vaginal lactobacillus bacteria.the reason for that is anyone's guess.
