What is the longest incubation period for bacterial vaginosis transmitted through sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Transmitted Through Sexual Intercourse: What is the longest incubation period? What is the shortest onset time? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, no, bacteria die quickly once they leave the human body. If infected, symptoms will appear very soon. Bacterial vaginosis is not contagious. You should see a doctor for timely diagnosis and treatment. I suggest you go to the hospital for a detailed examination to find out the cause and receive symptomatic treatment in a timely manner. Otherwise, it could become more serious.
