Question

Do i need to abstain from s*x if i have bacterial vaginosis?

Answer 1

Yes, in most cases it is best to abstain until treatment is finished, so you don't infect your partner or make the balance worse. Although, your partner may already be infected and could be the cause and may also need treatment if treating you alone doesn't work.

Answer 2

Have to: No, SHOULD YOU: YES.  

How would you feel if your boyfriend had an infected p***s and wanted to have s*x?  Gross.  Let it clear up.

Answer 3

Are you serious? That is an infection in your v****a. That tells me either you are young and immature or you are so horny that you don't care about your body. Why would you even think about having s*x with an infection in your v****a? It's people like you who spread STD's around. Please keep your legs closed until you heal up.

NOTE: titoalbanaples I did not say that she had an STD. Can you read? However, it is too an STD. Follow this government link: http://std-gov.org/stds/

Answer 4

You COULD have s*x if u really want to but its best to wait until u are finished with the antibiotcs they give u. Its only like a weeks worth of pills so just wait it out.  

Answer 5

Sorry Mae for some of the dumb answers. Bacterial Vaginosis is NOT an STD but rather an imbalance of the normal bacteria that inhabit your love canal. You do not need to abstain though your partner may be somewhat displeased by that mackerel like aroma. It is not unhealthy nor forbidden to make the proverbial "beast with two backs."

Answer 6

yeah unless you want him to give it back to you. after you take the pills or suppositories or what ever type of med the doc gived, ive had em both. let it heal. then your ok to go. and it wont live on him forever,  its just while your full of bacteria you dont want him puting it in and out of u.

Answer 7

bacterial vagionosis is most always caused from s*x..dont re-infect yourself..just let it heal up (take about 10-15 days)
