Bacterial Vaginosis. WHY do I get BV whenever he ejaculates inside me?

This is normal. Semen pH is higher to allow sperm to survive better in the normally lower pH vagina. In other words, the vagina is normally acidic, to keep bad bacteria at bay, and semen is alkaline in order to neutralize the environment where the sperm will be traveling. This often results in bacterial vaginosis, because the pH in the vagina is higher now, allowing the bad bacteria to flourish. Blame biology, and the survival of the species if you must blame something. If you are having sex with a male partner and the result is not BV, chance are his semen is not well, and is more acidic than it should be. You will have a harder time making babies from his part anyway.

I got tested and it was negative and it still comes back it's gotten so now I don't even bother going to the doctor anymore waste of money

That sounds a bit rape-y

I see everyone dealing with this problem and it's so frustrating. let me tell you I've been having this recurrent problem since the first time I got BV and it hasn't gone away every time Ive had sex with someone either if it's the same person or new one it comes back. It sucks so much. The doctors don't really do much here in the states but just give you antibiotics and I don't want to be living off that all my life, so probiotics do help but it doesn't cure it for me. Recently I went to my mother country in South America and doctors are actually smart. They say here that your partner does not need to get treated with antibiotics but in reality THEY DO. Because they have it as well and once you're done with the antibiotics you're okay but he's not so he still has whatever is causing the BV, they told me both partners need to be treated in order for there to be no passing back and forth. this is very understandable and I really don't understand why the US is incredibly stupid when it comes to this type of stuff. So if you're in a long term relationship with someone I think you should try it out and seek medication for both of you. Anyone who tries it out let me know cause I haven't been sexually active in months, but I will try it once I get in a relationship.

I have had problems with BV since I've been with my man, I have done so much reading, and found a USA study that has helped, do the course of antibiotics the doc prescribed then every time u have sex 1/2 500 mg vitamin c with dose of aci-jel. I talked to my doctor and she was happy for me to do this. Since I have adopted this routine 12mths all clear.

YOU need to break up with your boyfriend. He sounds like a penis

What's "1/2 500 mg vitamin c with dose of aci-jel"

I have the same problem. We do have a child together,so it will not be a problem

This is kind of off subject but what types or brands of lube would you recommend?

Your Ph and his Ph just don't mix well. As unfortunate as it is that is your problem. I'm 35 and have been on and off with my daughters father since I was 17. Every single time he cums inside me I get BV. It only happens with him. My dr. said our PH's just don't mix. His throws mine off and it's down hill from there. I douche( even tho it's not good) with peroxide and h2o immediately after intercourse and also us Rephresh Gel to bring my ph back to a normal level before B.B. sets in. Good luck it's a real b***h!

Whoever you are God Bless You!

I have been with my husband for 8years. I was having constant infection symptoms for years. If he ejaculated inside of me the symptoms were 10 times worse. I went to so many doctors and was tested for everything!! It was all negative. My symptoms were swelling, burning, itching.... sometimes I felt like my vagina was on fire. I finally found a doctor that helped. I now take 2 probiotics per day by mouth, I insert a probiotic suppository 3 times per week(doctor prescribed) and when the symptoms are really bad I insert boric acid suppository (doctor perscribed) I finally have very few days of the symptoms and I have sex daily. My husband never ejaculates inside of me. My symptoms reoccur immediately if he does. I hope this helps. The probiotic suppository is awesome!

Boric acid suppositories! I have this same exact problem, and it's pretty much every time we have sex and only then, So on the nights we do I just pop one in after; it keeps the PH balanced I guess. In any case, it works! I stay with perfectly normal vaginal discharge and odor!

you probably getting it only with him because he is cheating. I have been through a similar situation only to find out my ex was cheating. left him alone and have been with my fiancee 2 years and have NEVER had it. My doctor tried to tell me it wasn't my ex that was giving it to me but I checked it out on the CDC website and it CLEARLY STATES they are unsure how it is spread so how can people say women can't get it from a man!? I have read COUNTLESS reviews of woman who kept getting it and discovered their partner was cheating. More research needs to be done BEFORE people try to dismiss it being passed through sex because too many woman are getting it that way

It shouldn't. I'm pregnant and with the same problem. Doctors says everything is fine.
