So once again I have bacterial vaginosis they haven't checked the ultrasound pictures to see if I have a cyst but as of…

A man cant get it. Bacterial vaginosis is just when your normal flora is interrupted.

@beebaby, no he can't get it but he can give it to me and he needs the Antibiotics to this is the second dr that's said he needs treatment as well because this is the 3rd time I have had this I can't give it to him but if I treat it and he doesn't take antibiotics then I will get it again

No. He isn't giving you anything. When having unprotected sex the skin on skin contact can mess with your ph and normal flora in the vagina. I have no clue why the doctor is saying that. We treat women every day for BV and none of there partners are treated. It's not an std or something that is given to you by a man. You can get BV from using a dildo because it something foreign in your area.

I can happen from douching, using soap down there, using sex oils and gels, from tampons. You can get it without being with a man at all

@beebaby, well then there are some idiots around because idk either lol all I know is if they say he needs to get treatment then he needs to and yea I know it's not an std I just don't understand I have not ever had this issue in my life but in the past 6 months this is the 3rd time it's getting annoying but hopefully we see what my vaginal ultrasound says Monday and see if that may be causing some of my other pains and issues

Yeah. They are definitely idiots. You can't treat him for something when he isn't doing it. It's just like a yeast infection. Women over time just get a build up of bacteria. Women normally carry bacteria and when you mix that with his during sexual intercourse it can cause BV. If he is using soap down there before you do it can be the cause of the BV.

I don't use tampons I don't douche and I use Unscented soaps we don't use oils or gels or anything I don't own dildos lol so I guess it's just from having sex with my husband and I guess he can just wait for sex because as of not it's causing me pain and to be uncomfortable and I think all the drs in the USA need to meet and get on the same pages so all of us women can stop being told one thing and they get told another from their drs lol @beebaby,

Giving him antibiotics wouldn't change anything for him because he had nothing to actually cure.

Well he sometimes doesn't shower after work which I have been telling his ass if he isn't gonna shower after work he isn't getting any from me because it's gross so maybe the few times I gave in when he didn't shower is what caused me the problems or maybe when he showered with his man soap it caused it all I know is these antibiotics suck they make me so sick @beebaby,

I have been working in healthcare for 7 years now and never in my life have we treated a man for BV.

@beebaby, yea idk what my drs are saying it for then maybe I should question them lol @beebaby,

Exactly. That's what I'm saying @caseyxo2017

@caseyxo2017, this is a new dr I just had to leave my old dr because they wasn't helping me at all and they even said he needed to be treated for it so idk what's going on with these drs

Yeah. It truly does not make since. Sucks that you keep getting it but it shouldn't be causing you a bunch of pain either. It should mainly be just discharge so hope they figure out what is going on with ya

@beebaby, that's why we went for the ultrasound as well because she thinks I may have a cyst

It is possible but a yeast infection shouldnt cause pain, more itchy and thick discharge like cottage cheese. It's more uncomfortable than painful but I guess everyone is different. They should have tested for that at the same time and could have determined it was yeast. It's the same test as BV. @caseyxo2017

@caseyxo2017, my urine came back fine it was the culture swab that showed the bacteria she said no yeast or anything she thinks I may have something going on with my ovaries or something will hopefully know Monday

Aw okay. I have one and it sucks. My causes me.pain every once and again.

@beebaby, they did test for all that they did Urine and swab

What a cyst @beebaby,

@beebaby, have you ever heard of someone's uterus being tilted back the nurse doing my ultrasound couldn't see anything because of it and had to do he vaginal ultrasound to get better pictures and she said that it's normal is that normal lol

Yes. I have a cyst on my ovary. It has hurt from time to time during my pregnancy

Yes. You can have a tilted uterus. It's common in some women

@beebaby, ok just making sure cuz I have never been told this before

@beebaby, can a cyst not be removed
