My husband insists that I slept with the female neighbor. I am hetro not homo or bi. Sorry if anyone takes offense to those words. That just leads me to believe that he is looking for a way to take the blame off of him and put it on me when I did nothing wrong so he feels better about himself.

No, doc is new to field. So, I guess she failed to mention anything other than what I had. Under circumstances I failed to ask questions I should have. I'm new to all this, never had to deal with things like this before.

No, I am not pregnant. Been fixed for 7 years. I douch rarely, but do use tampons. I was on an antibotic for about a week. Normally take showers but took a bath for the first time in 20 years only to find out afterwards that my brothers cats use the bathtub as their litterbox. He says that he cleaned it but the bacteria, ewww. Needless to say the bathtub is being replaced.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common of three vaginal infections that fall under the category known as vaginitis. The other two infections are trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted disease, and the fungal infection commonly known as a yeast infection.
BV is the least understood and most often ignored or misdiagnosed of these conditions. However, it is gaining more attention as more research shows that untreated BV can lead to significant health complications, including premature delivery, postpartum infections, clinically apparent and subclinical pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), post-surgical complications (after abortion, hysterectomy, cesarean section and other reproductive procedures), increased vulnerability to HIV infection and, possibly, infertility. As many as one-third of pregnant women in the United States have BV.
BV is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. Although it is less common in women who have never had sex, there is evidence that it could be linked to having a new sex partner or multiple sex partners. Also, douching appears to increase the risk of developing BV.
BV has gone by different names in the past, including non-specific vaginitis and Gardnerella vaginalis vaginitis. BV is a lot simpler to remember but there is nothing simple about this condition and it is not harmless, as was once believed.
BV is actually a syndrome resulting from an imbalance in the different types of bacteria in the vagina (also called vaginal "flora"). A healthy vagina has numerous organisms that naturally live there. The vast majority--about 95 percent--belong to a type of bacteria called lactobacillus.
There are several different kinds of lactobacillus, at least one of which is responsible for keeping the vagina's pH at normal levels. When these levels become unbalanced, the certain microorganisms may overtake the normal flora leading to a low-grade infection that often produces an abnormal vaginal discharge.

You can get bacterial vaginosis from douching, doesnt necessarily mean anyone cheated.
Bacterial vaginosis is a mild infection of the vagina caused by bacteria. Normally, there are a lot of “good” bacteria and some “bad” bacteria in the vagina. The good types help control the growth of the bad types. In women with bacterial vaginosis, the balance is upset. There are not enough good bacteria and too many bad bacteria.

Are you pregnant? Bacterial vaginosis isn't an STD, it is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria that is already present. They don't always know why the overgrowth happens, but being pregnant can trigger it(happened to me).

you can get bacterial vag from anything hun, it doesnt come from sex exclusively. I wouldnt worry about him cheating or you. it is what it sounds like a bacteria, from any type of infection that you could get from a scented tampon or a yeast infection that has gone too long without notice..... besides that the diesease can go forever without actually having symptoms so you may have had it for quite awhile. lol but if your guy comes home with something else I would def have give him a swift kick in the you know where.
good luck. Hopefully you will get this resolved

This isn't an std. In fact you don't even have to be sexually active to get this.
"If this is an infection, did I catch it from someone?
No. Bacterial vaginosis is an overgrowth of bacteria that are normally in the vagina. While it's more common in women who are sexually active, it also occurs in women who are not sexually active. It's not usually necessary for your sex partner to be treated."

It can come from not cheating. But it can also come from cheating too. It's kind of like a cold or cold sore on your lip, except that's viral instead of bacterial.
If you do suspect him of cheating, there will be other signs too.
"My husband insists that I slept with the female neighbor." Why would he insist that you did this, unless he's got something to hide and he's doing something called blameshifting and projecting?
My husband told me that he might have picked up pubic lice from sitting on the same seat as his coworkers. He has also insisted if I ever got a disease, it wouldn't be from him, that I got it from somewhere else, and blah blah blah...
He refused to get testing for the longest time, then told me how humiliated he was (oh and having a cheating spouse/fiancee is not humiliating!) I lost my baby from an infection (so doctors say), and still had to fight him on getting tested. I have never been diagnosed with infections (bacterial) like this before I met him. And he has admitted to me he has slept with prostitiutes and other women who have had other men and slept around before we met. The ob/gyn told me the things my husband said were his way of trying to find an excuse for what he was doing.... And that's not how you contract pubic lice and herpes (he had a place on him that he said his *** got stuck in the zipper, I wonder why). It is more intimate contact to get this stuff in those areas. My husband insisted he didn't go all the way with other women he was around after me, but I had pictures that indicate something went on with at least one other woman and other signs too... And in my opinion if they did that much in the pictures, they could have done more behind closed doors.
Your husband might not be cheating, but you could mention both of you going back to the doctor and having the doctor examine him. And if there's no trust in the marriage, then maybe counseling is in order too. If your husband is cheating, there will be other signs and symptoms. Just be alert to them. Do an online search for the lists.

BV isn't seen a sexually transmitted ailment. it might want to be brought about by utilizing new or distinct companions, besides the undeniable fact that it is not transmitted from man or woman to man or woman. this is only an dissatisfied or alteration interior the conventional plant existence of the vagina, each from time to time brought about by utilizing douching, or use of an IUD. only take your drugs as directed and it might want to sparkling up.

Bacterial Vaginosis is not a sexually transmitted disease. Women get it quite naturally. Didn't your doctor explain this to you?
