The Call-On-Doc Guide to Bacterial Vaginosis

 

What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal condition caused by an imbalance of the natural bacteria that normally live in the vagina. It occurs when “good” lactobacilli decrease and other bacteria overgrow. BV is not considered a classic sexually transmitted infection, but sexual activity can increase the risk of developing it.

BV is most common in people of reproductive age and can recur even after treatment. While it is often mild, untreated BV can increase the risk of other infections and pregnancy complications.
