Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Vaginosis

I am confused about my symptoms for bacterial vaginosis vs chlamydia. I keep getting reoccurring BV but my partner is a mystery to me. He travels to southeast Asia and Africa and he swears to no sexual contact. I did get STD testing and it was negative but I keep getting this BV. He rubs his genital area frequently and he says he does because it hurts. Is it common for a 62 year old man to have a painful penis or testicoles?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
It is most common in sexually active women .
As sperm enter in to the vagina it cause changes in vaginal bacterial flora and ph and predispose to infections.

You take following advice
Tablet metronidazole twice daily
Lacto bacilli orally or vaginally
Hydrocortisone ointment
Shower with salted warm water
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear
Apply oil base lotion that contain vitamin and minerals
Wipe pelvic area after urination and sex
Avoid sex and douching till you get better

If not resolves contact the gynecologist
Pelvic examination
Do microscopy and culture , swab taken from urethra or vaginal discharge
PCR, NAAT and ELISA for STDs also

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
