My guess is "NO" doesn't sound safe.....
Bacterial vaginosis can have the following effects:
Bacterial vaginosis does not cause chlamydia. Chlamydia is transmitted by oral, anal or vaginal sex; by genital-genital contact; or from an infected woman to her child during vaginal birth.
No.
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an imbalance in the bacteria in the genital tract. The bacteria involved are normally present and you do not catch it so it really is not an infection although it is treated with certain antibiotics to restore the balance (and sometimes caused by others that disrupt it).
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that you catch from having sex with an infected partner. Its symptoms can be similar to BV so the two conditions can be confused but you do not get one from the other.
Bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection are both the results of imbalances in the normal flora of the vagina. A yeast infection involves an overgrowth of candida and related species. Odor is not a huge complaint of women with yeast. Symptoms may include redness and discomfort. The vaginal pH is normal. In contrast, bacterial vaginosis is a death of the protective bacteria in the vagina. Odor is a common complaint, but inflammation and irritation are not. The vaginal pH is usually higher than normal.
That is probably not be the best choice. I would not recommend taking it internally since it is toxic in large doses. And if you were to use it as a douche, it would not be strong enough to really do a good job of getting rid of the bacteria.
I strongly recommend that you see your doctor because bacterial vaginosis (BV) can lead to more serious infections and may even jeapardize your reproductive health. It can be even more of a concern if you are pregnant. There are several treatment options and your doctor will pick out the best one for you. Also, BV is very common and occurs in many women, especially sexually active ones, so please don't be embarrassed about it and get medical help. This is not something that you should try and treat yourself.
Avoiding exposure to semen is best during treatment for bacterial vaginosis. You don't catch BV from sex, but the high pH of semen can make recurrence more likely. Once treatment is complete, you can resume normal sexual activity and try to get pregnant without delay.
The smell changes when we orgasm, that is normal. The vagina has a bit of a fishy smell normally (someone have said "smells like fish but taste like chicken") but it goes away. If it smells like rotten fish, she has it. BV you get from bacterias and it is related to pH levels, not orgasms. You can have your bacterias transfered during sex though and that way she can get it. But if she washes normally and don´t douche or wear tight damp clothes etc there should be no reason.
Yes, you can use Monistat 7 after using clindamycin for bacterial vaginosis. However, since you've just been treated for BV, you should not self-treat what you're assuming is a yeast infection. Instead, contact your health care provider to make sure that you were screened for trichomoniasis when you were diagnosed with BV. Trich is harder to diagnose than BV , and a health care provider who doesn't look at the vaginal discharge immediately under the microscope or use a specific trichomonas swab can miss this condition.
Yes, most definitely.

Any family practice, internal medicine, pediatrics, or gynecological health care provider is able to treat bacterial vaginosis.
Neither penicillin nor doxycycline will cure bacterial vaginosis. Both are likely to make things worse. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Most women with trichomiasis have bacterial vaginosis at the same time. In contrast, most women with bacterial vaginosis do not have trichomoniasis.
No, semen does not directly contribute to bacterial vaginosis (BV). BV is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina, specifically a decrease in lactobacilli and an increase in harmful bacteria. While having multiple sexual partners or unprotected sex can increase the risk of BV, semen itself does not directly cause the condition.
Yes, you can take yeast infection medicine while taking BV antibiotics. Talk with your pharmacist for more information.
That is not possible to occur.
I'm not a doctor, but having Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or Bacterial Vaginosis doesn't necessarily increase your chances of having an ectopic pregnancy. However, if you suspect an ectopic pregnancy, it's important to seek medical attention immediately. A healthcare professional can provide a definitive diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Metronizole gel cures bacterial vaginosis in 75-80% of cases. But after six weeks, 50% of patients treated for BV with any regimen have symptoms again. See your health care provider to make sure you were screened for trichomoniasis.
It's best to avoid highly fragranced or deodorant soaps if you're prone to bacterial vagnosis. In the vaginal area, just use a mild, unscented soap.
Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the good bacteria in the vagina die off, and the bad bacteria take over. Antibacterial soap may kill the good and the bad.
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.
If you think you have BV again shortly after taking antibiotics, you are in good company. Half of women treated for BV have symptoms again within six weeks. But you should be rechecked by your health care provider. Make sure you were screened for trichomoniasis and other STDs. If retreatment is needed, you can get a new prescription.
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.
