&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are 10 FAQs on Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) for men and women&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;Can men get bacterial vaginosis (BV)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;No, BV primarily affects women. However, men can carry BV-associated bacteria and may be able to transmit it to their female partners.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;What are the common symptoms of BV in women?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Common symptoms of BV in women include a fishy odor, thin grayish-white vaginal discharge, vaginal itching, and burning during urination.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the common symptoms of BV in men?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In men, BV does not typically cause severe symptoms. However, they may experience symptoms such as penile itching, burning during urination, or other urinary or penile discomfort if they are carrying BV-associated bacteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is BV a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;BV is not considered a traditional sexually transmitted infection (STI) as it can occur in women who are not sexually active. However, sexual activity can trigger BV in some cases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can BV be transmitted through oral sex?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There is a possibility of transmitting BV through oral sex, although the risk is lower compared to vaginal intercourse. The bacteria associated with BV can affect the oral microbiota and potentially cause an imbalance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can BV cause complications during pregnancy?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yes, BV can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and an increased susceptibility to other genital tract infections. It is important for pregnant women to seek prompt medical attention if they suspect BV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How is BV treated in women?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The primary treatment for BV in women is antibiotics. These medications can be prescribed as oral tablets or topical creams or gels. It is essential to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by a healthcare provider.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can BV be cured with home remedies?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;While some home remedies may help alleviate symptoms, such as maintaining good hygiene practices and avoiding irritants like scented products, home remedies alone are not considered a reliable cure for BV. It is best to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What can be done to prevent the recurrence of BV?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;To reduce the risk of recurrent BV, it is recommended to practice good vaginal hygiene, avoid douching, use condoms during sexual intercourse, and limit the number of sexual partners. Some healthcare providers may also suggest using vaginal probiotics to help maintain a healthy vaginal microbiota. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is important for monitoring and managing recurrent BV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
