Basic effective measures for the primary prevention of chlamydia infection include abstinent, limit the number of sex partner, avoid douching.[2][3][3][4]
- Be abstinent
- Use of condoms
- Limit the number of sex partners
- Do not douche
- Use estrogen-containing contraceptives
Primary Prevention
Most cases of bacterial vaginosis occur in sexually active women between the ages of 15 and 44, especially after contact with a new partner. Condoms may provide some protection. Although BV appears to be associated with sexual activity, there is no clear evidence of sexual transmission.[2][3][1] The following basic prevention steps can help reduce the risk of upsetting the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina and developing BV:
