A member asked:
Does chronic bv or yeast means you have it lifelong? or it just means you have it long-term?

Yeast is normally present in your GI tract. Cross contamination to the vagina from the anus is common. Some anal sex practices can introduce yeast easily but it can also happen at random. Chronic as a label just means you have dealt with it for months at a time. It is not a label like short or tall that implies forever.

Chronic- something occurring again and again or a disease that lasts for more than three months such as asthma, diabetes etc.
