What is Bacterial vaginosis?

BV happens when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted — often with a decrease in lactobacilli and an overgrowth of other bacteria. It’s not a sexually transmitted infection but can be triggered by sex, new partners, douching, or hormonal changes. BV is common, especially among people of reproductive age.

What Are the Symptoms of a Bacterial vaginosis?

Symptoms vary but often include:

Thin, grey or white vaginal discharge

Strong, fishy vaginal odour

Mild irritation or itching

Some people have no symptoms at all
