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.

For Recurring BV
Longer antibiotic courses if needed
