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.

Sex can however increase risks of Bacterial Vaginosis by introducing bacteria into the vagina and changing pH. Bacterial infections can be passed between partners, so although a male may not have the symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis they can end-up with a bacterial infection from their partner.
Does bathing in bleach water cause bv?

What is the difference between bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection?
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.
What is Bacterial Flora?

What kinds of clinical specimens may yield a mixed flora in bacterial cultures?
The kinds of clinical specimens that may yield a mixed flora in bacterial cultures include bacterial wound cultures. The mix in flora is often due to contaminants that come from outer surfaces of the wound.
How do normal microbiota and transient microbiota differ?
Transient microiota are not activley growning in or on the body. They are microbes that are just picked up.....transfered. Microbiota are found in and on the body and are actively growing.
Why am i having discharge on the depo shot?
During menstruation it is easier for you to develop a vaginal infection such as Bacterial Vaginosis because the vagina is naturally acidic to maintain healthy vaginal flora, but blood makes the vagina less acidic. Menstrual products make a huge difference, tampons are hailed as more hygienic than pads but are actually less hygienic as they keep flow in the vagina which changes vaginal pH and gives bacteria the perfect place to multiply while preventing vaginal cleaning, commercial pads are also problematic because they make genitals warm/moist so perfect for bacterial growth. It may be a temporary imbalance in vaginal flora but if the bad odour continues it may be a sign you have Bacterial Vaginosis, you should see your doctor for tests and treatment.
Is streptococcus bovis a part of normal bacterial flora?
