How Is Bacterial Vaginosis Contracted?

I have fought bacterial vaginosis for over a year. Multiple tries of Cleocin, Flagyl did not help. Probiotics help some but if miss one pill, discharger returns. This is not STD. I am 65 year old and no sex in at least 3 years. Now my grandddaughter age 11 has it. Positively no sexual activity. Can we get it somehow from toilet seat, etc. HELP!!!

Hello,

Yes, source of infection could be either sexual activity or unhygienic practices. So do check your toilet seat and other commonly shared things.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
