Treatment for two rather than one may help prevent another bout of a common and unpleasant vaginal syndrome.
For many women who develop bacterial vaginosis, the syndrome returns weeks or months after treatment. A clinical trial of women in monogamous relationships with male partners found that treating both partners significantly reduced the likelihood of recurrence, researchers report in the March 5 New England Journal of Medicine. When both partners were treated, 35 percent of the women developed bacterial vaginosis again, while in the women-only treatment group, it was 63 percent.
