What exactly causes a bacterial infection down there? Can my man catch this from me?

possibly an overgrowth of yeast, vaginal secretions are out of whack, perfumed soaps, and yes your man can catch it. Refrain from sex until everything clears up.

Answer 2

Bacterial vaginosis or vaginitis is an inflammation which occurs in the vagina and includes several strains of germ that cause bacterial vaginosis yeast infections and trichomoniasis. Many women mistakenly believe that yeast infections are the most common type of vaginal infection but bacterial vaginosis is the most frequently occurring vaginal infection affecting from 10 percent to 64 percent of the female population at any given time.

Primary causes of bacterial vaginosis include an overgrowth of anaerobic bacteria and the Gardnerella organism.
E. coli which is a normal inhabitant of the rectum can cause bacterial vaginitis if it is spread to the vaginal area. Other factors which may contribute include hot weather, poor health, poor hygiene, use of an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control, and routine vaginal douching.
