BV Partner Treatment (Men)
Expert-Led Care for BV Partner Treatment (Men)
If you have a male partner and you keep getting bacterial vaginosis (BV) back-to-back, treating your partner might help break the cycle. This consultation allows your male partner to get an evaluation for a prescription of the same antibiotic used to treat BV. It's a proactive step some couples take to help reduce the risk of the infection being passed back and forth.
Online clinician-reviewed treatment for male partners of individuals diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis (BV).
Medication cost paid at pharmacy if prescribed.

At Herexa Health, our clinical standards are guided by evidence-based medicine and established clinical guidelines. Every consultation is reviewed by a licensed healthcare provider to ensure that any prescribed treatment is medically appropriate, safe, and tailored to the patient's specific health profile.
This is specifically for the male partners of women who have recurrent or chronic BV, intended to help reduce the 'ping-pong' effect of reinfection.
The treatment is usually a 7-day course of metronidazole, the same antibiotic used for women. The goal is to clear any bacteria the partner might be carrying that could trigger a recurrence. It's most effective when both partners follow the treatment plan at the same time.

Why BV Partner Treatment (Men) Is Important
Bacterial vaginosis can sometimes involve bacteria that are shared between partners. While men may not always show symptoms, they can carry and reintroduce bacteria, potentially leading to recurring infections.
Several factors may make partner treatment beneficial, including:
Recurrent BV infections
Ongoing symptoms despite treatment
Unprotected sexual activity
Imbalance of bacteria between partners
A provider consultation helps determine whether partner treatment is appropriate and ensures both partners receive the right care to reduce recurrence.
