I've read a lot about BV, and it is reoccuring. Although men dont usually have symptoms, its possible. Bacterial vaginosis occurs in women of child bearing age and there are even cases which have occured in women who arent sexually active.
In short, its an imbalance, that doesnt have anything to do with STD's, or any sort of disease.

I am in need of some answers. My fiance was diagnosed with chlamydia a few years ago, but the infection is recurrent. He has been on antibiotics many different types for 2 months now, some which he took yrs ago when diagnosed. As a result of the infection he is suffering from prostatitis and chronic leg and back pain. Also he developed Peyronies Disease and chronic hives. He has seen his regular dr, an STD dr, and an urologist...no one seems to be able to help him but the symptoms are not getting better. testing shows no other problems or infections other than these things..what steps should we take now to find help or a cure??

My fiance was diagnosed with chlamydia a few yrs ago and it has not been cured. The infection is recurrent and he has now developed chronic leg and back pain and prostatitis because of it. He has been on Oflaxacin, Bactrum, and Cipro to treat these problems previously and for the past 2 months, but the symptoms are recurrent. He has now developed Peyronies Disease and chronic hives which we think are linked to this same issue. He has seen his regular dr, STD dr., and a urologist....none which seem to be able to help him. He has not been diagnosed with anything other than these symptoms or illnesses and is suffereing from depression as a result of all that is going on. What advice can you give us to help with these problems.

For the last year i keep geting vaginosis bacterial infections. It seems like its every month or every other month i get it. I'll go to the doctors and they will give me the treatments and it goes away but when i have sex with my boyfriend without a condom it seems to come back. I told my doctor this and she told me that men dont carry it. If thats true then why does it come back everytime i have sex with him!?! Its driving me crazy. He doesnt have insurance so i cant get him to go to a doctor to find out if he has something but if he can carry this infection i will make him seek treatment! please help me!
