目的：细菌性阴道病(BV)在性行为活跃的女性中很常见，很大一部分原因不明。我们评估伴侣的包皮环切术状态是一个潜在的风险，并假设有未割包皮的伴侣的女性患BV的风险增加。方法：对1990至1992年间在巴尔的摩进行的一项伴侣研究(272对异性伴侣)进行了回顾性审计。结果：83例(30%)女性伴侣确诊为BV，75例(27%)男性未行包皮环切术。在男性和女性中，淋病的诊断率分别为20%和16%，衣原体的诊断率分别为7%和11%。在有包皮环切术伴侣的女性中，58/197(29%)患有BV，而未接受割礼的女性(25/75)(33%)有BV(p=0.53)。结论：有未割包皮的现任伴侣的女性患BV的风险不会增加。
Objective: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is common in sexually active women, and in a large proportion the underlying aetiology is unknown. We evaluated partner circumcision status as a potential risk and hypothesised that women with uncircumcised partners were at increased risk for BV.Methods: Retrospective audit of a partner study (272 heterosexual couples) conducted in Baltimore between 1990 and 1992. BV defined by clinical criteria and circumcision status of males was determined by physical examination,Results: BV was diagnosed in 83 (30%) female partners; 75 (27%) males were uncircumcised. In males and females respectively, gonorrhoea was diagnosed in 20% and 16%, and chlamydia in 7% and 11 %. In women with circumcised partners, 58/197 (29%) had BV compared with 25/75 (33%) with uncircumcised partners (p=0.53).Conclusion: Women with uncircumcised current partners are nor at increased risk for BV.
