Actually, studies have shown they reduce the chances of developing BV. Here are some other causes you may want to look into though: Changing hormone levels due to stress or birth control pills Wearing tight clothes or underwear not made of cotton Using harsh soap or bubble bath Bacteria on hands or toys Eating too much sugar I have heard that taking acidophilus can keep the bacteria balanced in your body, and Rephresh is good for keeping PH levels balanced. You could also try eating yogurt and cranberry juice. :) No, it's highly unlikely that condoms would be causing the problem. Actually, studies have shown they reduce the chances of developing BV.

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.vtine.com/?p=4717#comment-24010 My BV was caused by latex condoms. People saying that latex condoms don't cause BV that's a lie. I've been seen by 3 different doctors (2 GP's and 1 gyno) and they all have diagnosed me with BV and I know for a fact I keep getting it from latex condoms. Yea I agree BV is disgusting. The itching, discharge, burning...it's all yucky. MetroGel works best for me. Oh and Bacterial Vaginosis IS NOT an STD because even virgins can get it. My BV was caused by latex condoms.
