Is it possible that my partner's semen is causing my bacterial vaginosis? Is there a solution?

Yes, it is possible that contact with sperm can cause bacterial vaginosis in some women. To reduce the risk, it is important to maintain a healthy pH balance in the vagina by using gentle, unscented soap for the genital area and avoiding feminine hygiene products that disrupt the natural pH balance. It is also a good idea to avoid vaginal douches, tight clothing, and excess moisture in the genital region. By taking these steps, you can help prevent bacterial vaginosis.
