A member asked:
Can a married woman get bacterial vaginosis? whats the difference of bv and a yeast infection. i am on day 2 if my second dose of fluconazale twill have itching and burning. is bv and std?

Too complex for good answers. The quick answers are 1) Yes for married women. 2) Entirely different vaginal infections. 3) Yeast burns and itches; BV does not. BV is associated with sex, but not necessarily an STD (sometimes yes, sometimes no). Here are two good websites. Good luck. https://www.cdc.gov/std/bv/stdfact-bacterial-vaginosis.htm; and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_vaginosis
