No, bacterial vaginosis can't spread to your mouth, eyes, or any other body part. Bacterial vaginosis isn't an infection in the true sense of the word; it's when there is an imbalance of the normal bacteria that should be found in the vagina, and an overgrowth of bacteria that are normally found in low numbers.

∙ 9y agoNo, the bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis do not affect any other body part. It is caused by the death of the normal bacteria in the vagina and a takeover by bacteria that are normally found in the rectal area.

It's not spread by sex, and treating the woman's partner, whether male or female, does not affect the outcome or chance of recurrence.

If you get a vaginal bacterial infection does this mean your partner is cheating?
Certainly the situation merits a frank discussion with the partner. If you've had genital-genital contact with someone else during that time, it's possible you brought the infection into the relationship without having sex with someone else. It's possible your test was a false chlamydia test result. A more obvious and common explanation is that your partner brought the infection into the relationship. Sorry for your trouble, whatever the cause may have been.

What is the treatment for vulvovaginitis?
The most common causes of vaginitis, candida (monilia, yeast infection) and bacterial vaginosis are due to imbalances in the vaginal environment. Often, they will resolve on their own without treatment, but most women prefer to take treatment to get rid of symptoms more quickly. Atrophic vaginitis, due to decreased estrogen, will often improve without treatment, but treatment can improve comfort and health in the interim. Vaginitis due to chemical irritants or allergens will also often resolve without treatment. Trichomoniasis, a cause of vaginitis spread by sex, needs treatment to go away.
