Treating the Partner Helps Break the Cycle of BV Bacterial vaginosis (BV) often comes back , but a new study in NEJM shows that treating both partners can make a big difference. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40043236/#:~:text=population%2C%20recurrence%20occurred%20in%2024,nausea%2C%20headache%2C%20and%20metallic%20taste

In this trial, women whose male partners also took a 1-week antibiotic course had far fewer recurrences: Only 35% had BV again within 3 months , compared to 63% when only the woman was treated.

The study suggests that reinfection from untreated partners may be a key reason BV keeps returning. Treating both may finally offer a way to stop the cycle
