Google says;
What causes bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by a change in the natural balance of bacteria in your vagina.
What causes this to happen is not fully known, but you're more likely to get it if:
you're sexually active (but women who have not had sex can also get BV)
you have had a change of partner
you have an IUD (contraception device)
you use perfumed products in or around your vagina
BV is not an STI, even though it can be triggered by sex.
A woman can pass it to another woman during sex.
You're more likely to get an STI if you have BV. This may be because BV makes your vagina less acidic and reduces your natural defences against infection. |

"I have gotten BV from time to time. Can only be cleared up with antibiotics. "
I'm allergic to metronizadole which means my immune system has to clear it or have used Balance Activ. |

Hot tubs, Jacuzzis, some pools, the chemicals used can bring it on in me.
I had to make sure I showered very thoroughly after
I was recommended by my SH nurse to use the gel before swimming as it'll act as plug.
So far, it seems to have worked. |

"Can men get it? There was a man and his cock stank of BV.  "
Either he didn't wash after fucking a woman who had it, or his hygiene was dire, or he'd eaten fish in the not distant past. |

I had it once at university (well the GP said that's what it was anyway). I wasn't looking after myself and got really run down. It didn't smell fishy though. Just kind of off and the discharge was very watery. Antibiotics and some probiotics sorted me out! |

"Is it an sti?
For some women they have the distinctive fishy odour and/or a discharge. Lucky women will be asymptomatic (without symptoms). "
It’s caused by ph balances x |

"Is it more prevalent in vegan women ?"
You could look that up on Google scholar. Offhand the only potential link I can see is probiotic drinks are milk based. But most triggers are external.

Yes! Got it after being in a swimming pool in a hotel. |

"All I know is that it doesn't taste very nice.
You're not supposed to spread it on toast.
I thought that was the best way to mop up the dripping?"
That's what towels are for. |
