Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. While the exact cause is not fully understood, factors such as disruptions in the vaginal pH balance, hormonal changes, personal hygiene products, sexual activity, weakened immune system, cigarette smoking, and previous history of BV can contribute to its development. Recognizing the symptoms of BV and seeking timely treatment are important for managing the infection and preventing complications. If you suspect you have BV or experience symptoms, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
