Men's role in recurring yeast infections and BV

If you are getting treated for BV or yeast infections, then your partners need to get treated, too!

I'm posting this everywhere because I hear next to no one talking about this. If you tend to get recurring BV or yeast infections, and you have male partners, it is highly likely that the infection is living in *their* urinary tract and is reinfecting you.

Men can and do get BV and yeast infections, even if their are asymptomatic. The good news is that the pills that treat these conditions in women also work in men.

Many doctors will not mention this, even gynocologists. You and your partner(s) might need to insist that they be given treatment. If your doctor(s) won't agree, go see someone who does.

I know all this because I have a penis and every time my partner is getting recurring infections, they don't go away until I'm treated. We need to spread the word. The responsibility is not just on the woman!

What's been your experience?
