Can Female Ejaculate Cause BV? Unveiled Facts

I know that semen disrupts the vagina’s environment, so I was wondering if your own female ejaculation could disrupt it as well, leading to bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

_____

The source and constituency of female ejaculate fluid is still under some debate, but fluid ejected from the Skene’s glands, right next to the urethra, during sex or orgasm, is known to have antimicrobial activity¹.

This can help protect from vaginal and urinary tract infections. Female ejaculation is thought to originate in a small gland, the analogue to the male prostate, the Skene’s glands.

Any fluid from the Skene’s glands, no matter what it’s made of or its pH, is on the outside of the vagina.

This fluid will stay on the outside unless you push it back inside the vagina post-ejaculate. This means you are probably safe from female ejaculate fluid contributing to BV or other vaginal infections.

Female ejaculate fluid is not known to contribute to BV.
