Getting an IUD removed is not likely to reduce the incidence of bacterial vaginosis. Some women notice an increased problem with BV when changing to the IUD because they have stopped using condoms. You might consider trying to use them, at least temporarily.

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.

Bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis are caused by different types of microorganisms.

If left untreated, bacterial vaginosis can increase the risk of acquiring other infections, but it does not directly turn into trichomoniasis.

Bacterial vaginosis should your partner take antibiotics too?

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. Your partner can't "catch" it. There is no evidence that treating a partner prevents recurrence in the patient.


How does bacterial vaginosis affect pregnancy?

Yes. And see a doctor.Yes of course you can. A spermicide isn't used as treatment, it doesn't stop ovulation either.

He needs to wear a condom either way.Bacterial vaginosis is a condition in women where the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted and replaced by an overgrowth of certain bacteria. It is sometimes accompanied by discharge, odor, pain, itching, or burning. Unpleasant it may be, but yes, you can still get pregnant. Bacterial Vaginosis does not prevent pregnancy, it does not retard pregnancy, and do not consider it any form of pregnancy protection.


Can the same infection that causes bacterial vaginosis spread to your mouth and eyes?
