Bacterial vaginosis does not affect men, and can't cause an itchy penis. Trichomonas, which can go along with BV, may cause symptoms. Also, any chemicals used during sex or in the vaginal or penile area can increase the risk of itchiness as well as bacterial vagnosis in the female partner. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

∙ 9y agoA few women experience mild itching with BV, but trichomoniasis is the more likely culprit if you have severe itching. BV is easier to diagnose than trich, and women with trich always have BV. Ask your health care provider if you had a wet smear (an immediate microscopic exam of your vaginal discharge) or specific trich swab when you were diagnosed. If not, return to your health care provider or another provider with expertise in vaginal complaints to be tested.

Can tubal ligation cause bacterial vaginosis?
Tubal ligation, also known as "getting your tubes tied," is a procedure to permanently prevent pregnancy by blocking the fallopian tubes. It does not directly cause bacterial vaginosis, which is an imbalance of the bacteria in the vagina. However, any surgical procedure can potentially disrupt the balance of bacteria in the vaginal area, increasing the risk of infections, including bacterial vaginosis.
Can soap or clothing cause bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis happens when the "good" bacteria in the vagina die off and the "bad" bacteria take over. Changes in lifestyle can be helpful in reducing the risk of recurrence. These include avoiding perfumed vaginal products, using mild soap (not deodorant or antibacterial) in the vaginal area, avoiding douching, using condoms, wearing thong underwear only occasionally rather than daily, and making sure that if you have any anal sex play, you wash the finger, sex toy, or penis before it goes into your vagina.
Does Mirena cause bacterial vaginosis?
Mirena does not cause bacterial vaginosis. Some women who stop using condoms when they start Mirena may have an increase in problems with BV. Using condoms may decrease the odds of recurrence. Changes in lifestyle can be helpful in reducing the risk of recurrence. These include avoiding perfumed vaginal products, using mild soap (not deodorant or antibacterial) in the vaginal area, avoiding douching, using condoms, wearing thong underwear only occasionally rather than daily, and making sure that if you have any anal sex play, you wash the finger, sex toy, or penis before it goes into your vagina.
What soaps can cause Bacterial Vaginosis?

Is bacterial vaginosis contagious?
A man does not technically pass BV to his partner. A man can contribute to the condition, as the sperm pH is higher than the vaginal pH. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the "good bacteria" in the vagina die off and other bacteria "take over." 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 have bacterial vaginosis, finish your medication and consider using condoms if you have sex.
