What is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) can occur unexpectedly, much like any common health issue. The good news is that it’s treatable with prescription medications. BV may lead to vaginal inflammation, which increases the risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections during sexual activity. BV is caused by an imbalance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in the vagina. Treatment with antibiotics targets the harmful bacteria, helping to restore the natural balance.
