Why does my BV keep coming back?

If you’ve treated BV only for it to return after your period, after sex, or seemingly out of nowhere—you’re probably wondering, “Why does this keep happening?”

BV is more than just an imbalance that needs to be treated. For many women, understanding what may be disrupting the vaginal environment in the first place is an important part of managing recurrent BV.

In Why Does My BV Keep Coming Back?, Annterria Bruce, WHNP-BC, breaks down recurrent BV in an easy-to-understand, judgment-free way—so you can better understand what may be happening in your body and start recognizing your own patterns.

Inside this clinician-led course, you'll learn about:

• Sex, semen & vaginal pH — how sexual activity and semen may temporarily change the vaginal environment and why some women notice BV symptoms after sex.

• Partners & recurrent BV — what current evidence tells us about sexual partners, BV-associated bacteria, recurrence, and evolving partner-treatment recommendations.

• Your period & BV — why some women experience odor or BV symptoms during or immediately after their menstrual cycle and how menstrual blood can affect vaginal pH.

• Your personal BV patterns — how to begin connecting the dots between your symptoms, sexual activity, menstrual cycle, and other potential triggers instead of feeling like BV appears “out of nowhere.”

You'll also receive simple tracking tools to help you document BV symptoms after sex and around your menstrual cycle, giving you information you can use to better understand your patterns and have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider.
