She's safe. That's why she's on birth control, remember? So you don't have to worry?

Think about that question! Humans evolved to make babies by the man ejaculating inside of the woman. Unless she's strangely allergic to your semen she'll be fine. The only way she'll get infected by anything is if she never showers and allows herself to develop a yeast infection, OR, if you have an STD.

thanks for the reply... i was just worried because when i go, i'm normally pretty deep

thanks again

Why would being deep make a difference?

since i've been with my boyfriend (7months) i've developed recurring bacterial infections / yeast infections. i've talked to numerous doctors, some say yeast/bacterial can be sexually transmitted, others disagree and say it isn't possible to swap these infections. recently, i went for a check up...because once again i was having the itching, burning, odor problem and i was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. i had my boyfriend see a doctor to determine whether he too obtained the same infection, his results were negative. each time i treat with oral prescription medications. i'm not on birth control and no contraceptives are used, i am aware of the reprocussions, and need no advice on that. what i do need to know is when he ejaculates inside of me (which isn't often) i always seem to experience the fishy odors the following day? does this mean his semen is causing an overgrowth of bacteria (in one nights time) and infecting my vagina, therefore causing the "bacterial vaginosis"?

I think that your bf ejaculating inside of you is the cause of the bacterial infection...i only had 3 bf's in my life, my first 2 bf's never ejaculated inside of me but the 3rd one sometimes did, and that's when i started having the same problems as you. I went to a gyno and he told me that the ph balance of the vagina gets unbalanced sometimes with sperm and that's the cause of the infection. Well, that's my case...but doesn't mean that everyone's the same.

Aniston is correct. The semen changes the ph balance of the vagina and can cause gardnerella, which is naturally in the vagina, to overgrow, causing those symptoms.

thank u for the advice both curly48 and aniston! with what you said...i'm wondering what it is going to be like when and if i would decide to get pregnant with this man? am i forever going to be experiencing these unpleasant odors and infections????!

There are probably some other things going on that may be contributing to the problem that you could do differently.
Avoid using tampons with your period. Tampons are made with bleached fibers and have a basic ph. Your menstrual cycle itself can change the ph so tampons make it worse. The healthy vaginal ph is slightly acidic it sounds like chemistry because it is. Gardnerella loves a basic environment and lactobacillus/acidophilus loves a more acidic environment.The acid loving bacteria is helpful and actually serves to keep the vaginal flora in check.
Soap and bubble baths are basic and affect vaginal ph. Bubble baths are relaxing but not good for the vagina.
Antibiotics indiscriminately kill off bacteria both good and bad.If you are taking antibiotics for any reason it will affect the vaginal flora and can cause gardnerella to return in an unbalanced way.Douching is frowned upon in the medical community but I am starting to beleive that a mild vinegar/lactobacillus douche a couple times a month may be helpful. Go to a natural/health food store
(not GNC)and see what womens health products they have.
Hope this helps.

thank you..everything you've told me are things my gyno already informed me of, but in less words. i do take baths, on a fairly regular basis...although i don't add bath salts, or bubbles...is that still cause for infection regardless if your not putting products in the water? i have quit using tampons while on my menstrual cycle. i never douche, because i thought that was bad for you, although anytime i ever have i've always used vinegar water. but still i'm confused about my last question posted...because of his sperm throwing off the pH balance of my vagina....what does that mean if and when i would be trying to conceive??????

What I have read is that Gardnerella vaginal infections (meaning the balance is out of whack)can contribute to premature contractions.

I would advise an oral round of Flagyl (Metronidazole) instead of the vaginal gel. Once cleared up, I would try a vinegar douche with lactobacillus in it. 2 x's a month.You may need to concoct your own by buying lactobacillus capsules and mixing it with the vinegar douche empty the powder from the capsule). Also, do not use personal lubricating gels if at all possible as they too can change the vaginal ph.Some brands may be better than others. I believe Astro glide is better, as is Orexia but Orexia is very expensive and is only sold on line. But, all things considered it gets expensive treating recurring infections too.Condoms often come with a lubricant.Spermicidal gels also can do this as can being on the pill.

As far as baths go,the ph of water is 7 which is basic. The normal ph of the vagina is around 4.5 which is acidic. I would skip the baths all together.In a bath, water does get in the vagina.Try using a liquid soap that contains citric acid. Good luck.

My boyfriend and i have sex on a daily basis like 3 times a day. He normaly cums in me twice. But i always shower right when i know we are done for the day. I use Treseptic body/face clenser it was recommended by my doctor since it is suppose to clens your body. But for 2 days now i have been experiencing discharge. And its been a little itchy.It's been swollen. Is this because of sperm?
