What exactly is Bacterial Vaginosis? how does one get it and why does it smell like fish?

Can guys get it on their own or can they only get it from sex.

An even more personal question I have is this-
My man has smelled like this before, (down there) without me having BV. Can a man get it on his own or only from a girl? I can handle the truth so please be honest.

I’m almost positive I have BV, I’ve never had it before but I’ve searched the internet and that is exactly what my symptoms are. I am scheduling a gyno appointment for next Saturday.

How fast will I get results? And can someone explain how someone gets BV, is it an STD? I’ve only had 1 sex partner.

Try not to copy and paste things from sites because I really don’t understand that. lol

I took three pregnancy tests yesterday, and they were all positive. All different tests. Today I went to a center and took their test and it was negative. Im really confused. I feel a bacterial infection has come back and Im wondering if that could affect a positive pregnancy test.

I thought I had a bladder infection so I went to the doctor and got on some pills that made me feel sick to my stomach and have diarrhea, then I realized it wasn’t a bladder infection at all, it was bacterial vaginosis according to my Gynecologist. So now I’ve been off the bladder infection meds for two days, and have a new gel like vaginal medicine that I’m going to start tonight… but earlier today I still had some diarrhea and upset stomach symptoms? Why is this? Help please.

Today I started taking the really common pill to treat Bacterial Vaginosis.
But I am now feeling as though I have very flu like symtoms with the cold but hot, and the aching body/ nerves. Is this common?

If you had a patient with a bacterial infection of unknown origin how could you set up an experiment to figure out what antibiotic might work best?

Thanks!

A week ago at my 16 week check up, i was told i had bacteria vaginosis. It is the most disgusting thing i have ever had in my life. My discharge is non stop and green. The pills i have received to treat the infection do not seem to help! Has anyone else had this recently? Did the infection go away without a fight?

and turning into PID? I went to the doctor but I have to wait a week for results!!!!!! I am freaking out

Anyone out there can give me a short paper, about 200-400 characters on Bacterial vaginosis? Causes, symptoms, definition, etc! Need this by the morning!

i read online and its not safe but the doctor its safe. I am so scared
AND I AM 18 WEEKS PREGNANT.

I was prescribed Metronidazole for BV and was wondering if anyone has taken it? Any feedback would be great. Was it an effective treatment? Thank you!

I am looking for a home remedy for BV. Does anyone know of one?

Please answer!
I think I might have it and now I’m scared…..

I believe I have bacterial vaginosis, and I’ve heard the term be described when I go to my gyno for checkups. Is there something that I can constantly take for this, or do I get stuck with a high copay EVERY TIME I have a yeast infection, bladder inf, or bacterial infection because of this stuff? I am tired of seeing my gyno every month or every other month…….. HELP!

I’ve had one for nearly a year. I’ve been on 13 medications. Nothing has worked! The doctor has confirmed that it’s a bacterial infection, but nothing is curing it. Could there be some larger disorder that this is a symptom of? I’m at a loss for why it won’t go away.

Short and simple,

old girlfriend been apart for 3months,
new *girl i slept with a few times*
then we stop talking for a little bit, and my EX came back in the picture, and we slept together

new girl gets infections easily. shes been bleeding kind of a lot cuz im like a *pornstar* if u know wat i mean completely.

now since i slept with my ex – SHE now also has bacterial vaginitis,
and she also has sometype of cancer or something in her crvix i dont know for sure, but she needs to take fertility meds to get pregnant-

now the new girl just ended up bleeding a lot, brown chunk of blood came out-

Whats going on? IS it me? an STD? what is it? your thoughts on what it could be and why

Did i have the infection? did the new girl have the infection – test results come in tomorrow
