Possibly only from severe cases of bacterial vaginosis that leads to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and is left untreated. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease can be cured by fuyan pill. But BV is a serious risk factor for acquiring HIV and HPV (cancerogen) virus.

Yes it can and happens to a lot of women such as myself. I can go my entire life without getting the infection but once my husband ejaculates in me I find that days or works later I have the infection.

Bacterial vaginosis is not an inflammatory condition, and so it does not cause cervicitis. A women with only bacterial vaginosis does not present with redness, swelling or heat in the vagina, vulva, or cervix. Trichomonas, which is almost always accompanied by BV, may cause inflammation of the female genitalia (vulvitis, cervicitis, and/or vaginitis.)

Azithromyin is not effective against bacterial vaginosis. Medications with anaerobic coverage are needed. Typical treatment is metronidazole or clindamycin.

Bacterial vaginosis is usually a mild problem that may go away on its own in a few days. But it can lead to more serious problems, so see your doctor and get treatment. And if you are douching, avoid it in the future because it makes the risk higher to get it again.

Since BV recurrence is so common, it's first important to understand what the conditions are that create this recurrence.

Many factors can contribute to this condition such as douching, extended thong panty wearing, lactose intolerance and even male ejaculate. The reason why women suffer from recurring BV after having taken antibiotics is because the antibiotics not only get rid of the bad bacteria in the vagina but also the good.

One of the most effective methods to cure recurring bacterial vaginosis is herbal therapy. For example, herbal medicine"fuyan pill", which is made from natural herbs. It could driven away the recurring bacterial vaginosis with low recurrence rate.

Birth control pills will not cause bacterial vaginosis, but some women may note a problem with BV after starting the pill if they've recently stopped using condoms. BV is not spread by sex, but exposure to semen can make BV more likely because it changes the vaginal pH. Try using condoms for a while if you're having this problem.

Bacterial vaginosis is often misdiagnosed at home as a yeast infection and over the counter remedies are often tried before going to a physician. Bacterial vaginosis is treated with antibiotics. Amoxicillin can be used for treating this infection, but it is not a first line treatment and is oftentimes not effective. Physicians usually prescribe Flaygl or Cleocin to treat this infection.

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.

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.

A milky discharge that smells like fish is the classic sign of bacterial vaginosis. Some women may also experience cramping or pain with sex. See your health care provider if you're having discharge and pain, as you need an exam.

If you have bacterial vaginosis, finish your medication and consider using condoms if you have sex. It's not spread by sex, but the pH change from exposure to semen can increase the risk of needing more medication.

To avoid bacterial vaginosis in the future, avoid killing off the good bacteria in the vagina: don't douche, don't use scented vaginal products, and use a mild, unscented soap in the genital area (not antibacterial or deodorant soap). In addition, take steps to reduce the risk of introducing the wrong kind of bacteria into the vagina: use thong underwear only occasionally rather than daily, and wash the sex toy/penis/finger before going from anal sex play to vaginal sex play.

There are prescription treatments for bacterial vaginosis. If you want to treat on your own, try these lifestyle changes to see if your body will find its own balance again:

Aoid killing off the good bacteria in your vagina. The normal bacteria produces hydrogen peroxide, which maintains the normal bacterial colonies in the vagina and keeps the pH in the normal Range. Avoid wet wipes -- just use unscented toilet paper, not baby wipes or other "alternate" baby wipe-type products after using the toilet. If you feel like you have to use something wet, make it plain water with or without mild, unscented soap. Use menstrual supplies that don't contain fragrance or baking soda. Don't douche or use other "feminine hygiene products" (you won't find female OBGYNs who use these products). Don't use deodorant soap, liquid soap, or antibacterial soap in the vaginal area. Go ahead and use these elsewhere if you like, but use a mild, unscented soap on the vulva (something like Dove, Ivory, or Cetaphil). If you're using a lubricant during sex, try changing to one without extra chemicals like antibacterial ingredients, "warming" or "tingling" ingredients, or flavors or scents. Astroglide is one brand that is very benign.

Avoid putting the "bad" bacteria from the rectal area into the vaginal area. Use thong underwear only for the pants that really need it; wear non-thongs on other days. If you have any kind of anal sex plan with a finger, sex toy, or penis, make sure it's washed will before it goes in your vagina.

Bacterial vaginosis isn't spread by sex, but changes in vaginal pH can make it harder to recover. Use condoms or withdrawal to avoid increasing the vaginal pH with semen.

These changes may represent a real hassle for you. Try making them all at once, and then add back and see what makes a difference.

Yes, bacterial vaginosis can clear up on its own. If you are pregnant, planning a surgery or procedure in the vagina, or are having pain or abnormal bleeding, seek treatment sooner.

Trimethoprim will not treat bacterial vaginosis, although it may help in some cases of cystitis. Resistance levels of bacteria that cause cystitis vary widely by location. Talk with your health care provider to find the right treatment for your problems.

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 is not a sign of pregnancy. Signs of pregnancy are a missed period and a positive pregnancy test.

BV does not cause bites or a rash. Sometimes BV is associated with trichomoniasis. If you have a rash in the vulvar area, contact your health care provider to find out if you were screened for trich when you were diagnosed with BV. Trich is harder to diagnose and is often missed in women with BV, particularly if they were diagnosed without the health care provider looking under the microscope at the vaginal discharge.
