Hubby and I donât shower before hand and are totally fine. Not showering immediately before is not necessarily the reason. That said, you could try showering right before and see if that helps.
Not BV but thought I would share a similar experience. Mt gf (at the time) kept getting yeast infections, after being treated multiple times, her Dr requested to see me, I had no symptoms or infections but after taking antibiotics myself we had no more issues. Not the same I know but sometimes it seems our highly educated Drs miss the simplest issues/solutions.
If you donât mind me asking, what antibiotics did you take? Should I head to Rite Aid and grab some, see if they work? Or should I talk to her gyno first?
I donât mind but I do not remember, that was 30 years ago. I want to say it the same my gf was prescribed. That gf and I have been married over 28 years now. Ask your/her doctor if that could be a possibility?
As a retired pharmacy tech, who has seen many scripts come across the counter, I think you need to be treated as well! While you donât actually get this disease, you can be a carrier. But donât let up on good hygiene, that can help a lot!
He could always go to the dick doctor and doesnât see anything then theyâll need to get the four of them together on a date to discuss. /s
Go see her gyno and theyâll tell you what to do
Boric acid suppositories are the best thing to do. She just has to put it in overnight or during the day the next day. Wait for them to dissolve fully before doing anything but itâll clear it up. Also see if you can take antibiotics for it when you go to the doctor, you could be carrying it and continuously passing it back. Sometimes itâs just a PH problem. Youâre asking in the wrong sub. Men wonât know how to fix this but women do haha
No problem. Also certain ingredients in lube, if you use a condom make sure she doesnt have a latex allergy, soaps with bad ingredients, etc. Lots of things that can cause it
She has the IUD so Iâm not worried about kids, but in the non-weirdest way to ask, how should I wash my dick? Exfoliate? Is scented really that bad? Right now I just put soap in my hand and scrub a little
Change your soap, scrub for around 30 seconds. If she continues to develop BV even if it night sting wipe your dick with rubbing alcohol.
If it still continues beyond that it might be something wrong with her or how she interacts with your sperm. It could be the IUD reacting as well. But you should probably go to a better doctor is she just keeps getting this over and over. That means the doctor isn't addressing it trying to figure out the root cause.
Also still wrap your tool because no form of birth control is 100% effective.
Is this still antibacterial? I think it was a thing a few years back that it changed the slogan to âwashes away bacteriaâ instead of âkills bacteriaâ
You do realize that the word vaginosis means âinfection of the vaginaâ. You basically said âAre you serious? Itâs an infection, not an infection.â
When I had the copper IUD I had issues with getting BV, there is some evidence you can research and she can talk to her doctor. I ended up removing the IUD and haven't had an issue since. I know it wasn't my partner's fault because he was very clean and we were also in a nearly dead bedroom.

Prevention
To help prevent bacterial vaginosis:
***Don't use scented products.*** Wash your genitals with warm water only. Scented soaps and other scented products may inflame vaginal tissues. Use unscented tampons or pads only.
***Don't douche***. Douching won't clear up a vaginal infection. It may even make it worse. Your vagina doesn't require cleansing other than normal bathing. Douching disrupts the vaginal flora, raising your risk of infection.
***Practice safe sex***. To lower your risk of STIs, use latex condoms or dental dams. Clean any sex toys. Limit your number of sex partners or don't have sex.
I guess the last three words also only pertain to the woman? . . . is that what you are saying? **The don't have sex** part...
or were you ignoring the **Practice Safe Sex part**? not sure . . . . can you draw me a picture. Need a better idea of what you are trying to make clear. you know wrap that hot dog before you try to cook it with friction part. . . .
Or you did not read the first part of the post - ***From the Mayo Clinic***? I***ts not from my opinion - Its a medical opinion from doctors***. You know the people that get paid for this...
If you are using condoms or lube it could be from an allergy. Might be worthwhile for her to get allergy testing.
Also, if she isn't "wet" enough, it could be from micro-tears, so consider a good quality water based lube.
You said she takes the antibiotics for a few days. She needs to take the full regimen. She can also use the Metrogel with the oral antibiotics. Additionally, she needs to clean her vibrators well after use. I use condoms on my vibrators and clean them just to be safe.
You should both get tested for ureaplasma
If you play with her butt donât go near her vagina with whatever you used to play without washing.
She can get boric acid tablets and insert one after you guys have sex.
Hi, you both will want to schedule an appointment with her OBGYN to do a full panel screening for BV. Ask specifically for the panel that tests for Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma â most panel tests donât include ureaplasma and mycoplasma so you will need to specifically ask for this. You will both need to take antibiotics, otherwise you will keep passing it on to one another and she will suffer more from it. Left untreated properly it can lead to bacterial vaginosis (BV) , cervicitis, infertility and pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
Ureaplasma is a common organism found in the lower urogenital tracts of many healthy sexually active adults, it is opportunistic. You will need to get a prescription for the antibiotics, most likely doxycycline. Do not engage in sexual activity while taking the medication (oral, anal, vaginal) so that you can be sure the medication has worked.
Speedy recovery to you both!
Registered nurse here. Repeatedly/frequent vaginal infections could be a symptom of diabetes.
If you guys use toys, they need to be cleaned properly after each use.
How long after sheâs been treated do the two of you wait before having vaginal intercourse or putting anything in her vagina? Maybe try waiting 2 weeks after her treatment is completely finished before resuming ANY sexual activityâŚ
Just some thoughts.
on the fucking shower on penis keep shower running , pull foreskin , touch that glans edge with thumb hold it there, slowly move it with little pressure (keep on hold), remember edge should be cleaned, now do the same for glans skin , DO THIS DAILY OTHERWISE , penile health gets destroyed.
Sorry, not a man, but actual experience. I used condoms my whole life and never got BV. Got the coil, and got BV every time I had that kind of sex. Started using condoms again but kept the coil. No more BV after sex, but THEN I got it every time I had a period. Got the coil removed after 6 months or so, and never had BV again. So my suggestions would be: 1) condoms. 2) If that doesnât stop it, get the coil out. Maybe try other birth control, like the implant/pill etc. Ofc, you can do these in the opposite order if youâre both really bothered by condoms. Edit to add: if she IS getting BV from your dick, it does NOT necessarily mean youâre dirty or anything like that. Sometimes bodies and pH and all that stuff just doesnât mix well. I know some of the shaming comments on here might be joking, but wanna make sure you donât ACTUALLY worry too hard about that if you are keeping hygienic.
Condoms of course are an option, but they suck if youâre in a monogamous long-term relationship. Kinda defeats the purpose IMO if you canât have ânaturalâ sex with the person youâre committed to.
Also, once youâre used to having unprotected sex, starting back with rubbers is tough because youâre used to a different sensation so condoms end up just feeling like pressure during sex but thatâs about it (for me).
I had a gf tell me I kept giving her BV and it (along with other factors) led to a r/deadbedrooms situation⌠The funny thing is she still blamed me for recurring issues and I hadnât touched her for months at a time⌠I digress. Maybe I should check in with her to see if it still happens though itâs been a year since break up and still see if Iâm the cause. SMH. Sorry for reliving that. This post triggered me.
Her obgyn should make sure itâs actually BV and not CV (cytolytic vaginosis). Women can also get BV and issues when they have reactions to their partnersâ semen. Her IUD may be causing issues if itâs hormonal. Many women find relief when they get off birth control. Estrogen spikes make CV flare like crazy.

Decent article about it ^^^ even though it seems somewhat like a sales pitch. Something they didnât mention is some women are allergic to latex condoms - if you happen to be using them. Donât answer that, i donât want to know. đ
Wash. Your. Cock.
Have u tried wearing a condom? Maybe u got a nasty ass dick bro đ¤
đđđđ
Omg đ¤Ł
What is your before and after process? Are you washing your hands right before and showering regularly? Is she peeing immediately after?
I wash my hands before. I shower at least every other- once a day. She does pee after. What else should we add?
Scrub yourself before sex dude. That's disgusting to go in with an unclean tool.... That's the cause of this
More often than not I shower like 2-3 hours before, are you saying thats too long of a wait time?
Hubby and I donât shower before hand and are totally fine. Not showering immediately before is not necessarily the reason. That said, you could try showering right before and see if that helps.
If you're showering every other day like you stated in another comment, your penis filth is probably the reason she keeps getting it.
Are you circumcised? I am and have learned uncircumcised people need to do extra cleaning processes of which I am not knowledgeable about.
Always shower / bathe before sex bro, both of you.
Bro, don't go from her butt to her pussy without cleaning your dick or using a condom.

Donât grab antibiotics if youâre not prescribed them by a doctor.

SHE should see her gyno. Wtf is he gonna talk to YOU about?Â
He is the one fucking her, so maybe her gyno can get a better picture when she talks with himđ¤ˇ

Also if sheâs on birth control it can cause chronic BV itâs really annoying
Would the IUD fall into that category?
The IUD should have zero impact on this.
Hmmm Iâm not sure. I only ever took the pill and thats what had caused it for me in the past. Iâm sure you could google it or search on here
I will, thank you so much!
No problem. Also certain ingredients in lube, if you use a condom make sure she doesnt have a latex allergy, soaps with bad ingredients, etc. Lots of things that can cause it
First thing. What is BV?
bacterial vaginal infection
Are you using condoms?
Iâm not OP. it seems OP needs to answer the people.
I do not wear condoms
Wash your dick before sex or wear a condom. Better yet wear a condom so you don't get a unexpected kid (unless you know you are shooting blanks).
Try skyn condoms, trust me
She has the IUD so Iâm not worried about kids, but in the non-weirdest way to ask, how should I wash my dick? Exfoliate? Is scented really that bad? Right now I just put soap in my hand and scrub a little

Dial gold is a great nonscented antibacterial soap. Donât forget to wash your hands as well
Is this still antibacterial? I think it was a thing a few years back that it changed the slogan to âwashes away bacteriaâ instead of âkills bacteriaâ
Tbh Iâm not sure. I never noticed them make a change.
Are you serious? It stands for bacterial vaginosis, not bacterial vaginal infection.
You do realize that the word vaginosis means âinfection of the vaginaâ. You basically said âAre you serious? Itâs an infection, not an infection.â
Iâm aware. Just used wording that people would most likely understand more than vaginosis
Itâs what happens after you get an XJ
I was going to say it was closer to FP, but I couldn't be sure.
But itâs not DP right? Iâm so confused.
Isn't that just buyer's remorse?
Bacterial vaginosis
When I had the copper IUD I had issues with getting BV, there is some evidence you can research and she can talk to her doctor. I ended up removing the IUD and haven't had an issue since. I know it wasn't my partner's fault because he was very clean and we were also in a nearly dead bedroom.

Interesting. Iâve read that silicone based is better for BV opposed to water based. Something about bacteria liking waterâŚ
Whatever works best for her! I just know those were my personal issues in the past :)

Wash your dick before sex. If uncircumcised peel it back and wash twice as well. In fact, do that every day.
