I am confused about my symptoms for bacterial vaginosis vs chlamydia. I keep getting reoccurring BV but my partner is a mystery to me. He travels to southeast Asia and Africa and he swears to no sexual contact. I did get STD testing and it was negative but I keep getting this BV. He rubs his genital area frequently and he says he does because it hurts. Is it common for a 62 year old man to have a painful penis or testicoles?
Hello dear Understand your concern. It is most common in sexually active women . As sperm enter in to the vagina it cause changes in vaginal bacterial flora and ph and predispose to infections.
You take following advice Tablet metronidazole twice daily Lacto bacilli orally or vaginally Hydrocortisone ointment Shower with salted warm water Wear pure cotton loose inner wear Apply oil base lotion that contain vitamin and minerals Wipe pelvic area after urination and sex Avoid sex and douching till you get better
If not resolves contact the gynecologist Pelvic examination Do microscopy and culture , swab taken from urethra or vaginal discharge PCR, NAAT and ELISA for STDs also
Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
