Hello,

You are sufferimg from a condition called Bacterial vaginosis (BV for short). it is caused by the overgrowth of a bacteria called Gardnerella in the vagina. It is usually kept in check by a good bacteria called Lactobacilli, but if lactobacilli dies off due to vaginal douching or use of antibiotics for a long time, bacterail vaginosis ocuur.

You will need to take an antibiotic called Flagyl (500mg twice daily for 5 days) - this is a prescription medicine.. Please take at least 100 gms of yogurt daily to encourage growth of lactobacilli.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

No, bacterial vaginosis cannot spread to males. It can occur only in women.

I hope this helps.
