Bacterial Vaginosis: MATURE Answers PLEASE?
Question by TheRealestFemale: Bacterial Vaginosis: MATURE Answers PLEASE?
On my last visit to my gyno, I was told I had bacterial vaginosis. He prescibed me some gel called Metronidazole and was directed to inject it inside of me once a day for five days. Fortunately, it cured me in an instant.
Unfortunately, I got it again after having unprotected sex with my boyfriend. So, I injected more of my prescription and it cured me. After another unprotected sexual encounter with him, I got it AGAIN. This cycle continues to go on at least two more times until I had enough. So, me and my boyfriend finally started having protected sex and it never came back.
Can someone please tell me what’s going on? I read online that you CAN only get bacterial vaginosis from another woman and too many sexual partners, not from just one man.
I’m wondering does this have to do with my boyfriend being uncircumsized? I’m probably thinking he doesn’t wash good enough underneath the extra skin causing an accumalation of bacteria in there. Is that possible? Should have my boyfriend tested for anything?

Maybe there is a chance that since you didn’t follow the prescription directions by using it for 5 days you never completely eliminated the problem in the first place. That is why it is important to always finish a prescription even if you are feeling better. I read several sites about it and I certainly didn’t see anything about flare ups after having sex. It could also be the fact like you stated about your boy not washing well enough. If this problem were to persist I would certainly talk to you gyno.
