Coincidence? Question about bacterial vaginosis (sorry TMI)
For the 3rd time in 6 months I have bacterial vaginosis. I've only had it 4 times in my life. I have read and doctors have told me that it occurs when my Ph gets unbalanced as a result of dh's sperm being more Basic and upsetting the acidic state my vagina needs to stay in. However, each time I got BV it was like 2 weeks after intercourse (not much action happening here lately due to DH's traveling and our kids' irregular summer sleep schedules). So I just don't think I'm getting it from Dh.
The weird thing is this- my maid was just telling me she also has had BV 3 times in the last 6 months. She assumed she was getting it from her boyfriend. But is it possible there is some connection between us? She cleans the house for us once a week. Is it possible to pass the bacteria that cause this from just touching the same surfaces? Or maybe there is something in my house that causes both our Ph levels to become unbalanced? Or is this purely coincidence? Anyone have any idea?
