What Are Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) Symptoms, Causes & Treatment Options?

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) causes abnormal discharge, odor, and irritation. It’s diagnosed through exams and treated effectively with antibiotics prescribed online via Klarity.

Understanding Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vaginal flora. It affects women of reproductive age and can cause discomfort and other health issues if untreated.

Symptoms of BV

What are the common signs?

BV symptoms include a thin, grayish-white vaginal discharge, a strong fishy odor, vaginal itching, and irritation. Some women may experience no symptoms at all, making diagnosis challenging without testing.

Causes and Risk Factors

Diagnosis of BV

Healthcare providers diagnose BV through pelvic examination, microscopic analysis of vaginal secretions, and pH testing. Accurate diagnosis is essential for effective treatment.

Effective Treatment Options

Online prescription and telehealth services

Prescription antibiotics like metronidazole and clindamycin are standard treatments. Klarity’s licensed providers offer convenient telehealth consultations, prescribing medications as needed, often within 24 hours.

Prevention Strategies

Prevent BV by maintaining good genital hygiene, avoiding douching, limiting sex partners, and using protection. Regular medical checkups help detect and treat infections early.
