Why does bacterial vaginosis keep recurring?

Patient's question:

2 years ago, I was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis. After seeking treatment at the hospital, I was completely cured. However, it recurs every time I have sexual intercourse, and there are no problems if I don't have sex. It has recurred many times. Why does bacterial vaginosis keep recurring?

Doctor's answer:

If bacterial vaginosis recurs during sexual activity, there could be several reasons. Second, improper hygiene during sexual activity. Third, excessive foreskin in men with too much smegma. Second, low immunity and poor resistance to bacteria. Fifth, infection with other pathogens, such as mycoplasma or chlamydia. It may be worth considering a bacterial culture. A thorough examination can check for mycoplasma or chlamydia. If none are found, then it is necessary to engage in regular exercise to strengthen the body and improve immunity. Attention should be paid to hygiene before and after sexual activity.
