Understanding Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a prevalent vaginal infection resulting from an imbalance of naturally occurring bacteria. It affects many women and can cause symptoms such as abnormal discharge, foul odor, itching, and irritation. While some women may have no symptoms, it is important to seek treatment to prevent complications.

Symptoms and Causes of BV

Causes and Risk Factors

BV occurs when the balance of bacteria in the vagina shifts, often due to factors like multiple sexual partners, douching, or hormonal changes. It is not strictly classified as an STI but can be associated with sexual activity.

Diagnosis and Medical Evaluation
