Bacterial vaginosis

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection in women of reproductive age. Unlike a yeast infection, BV is caused by an imbalance in the vaginal bacteria — when harmful bacteria outgrow the beneficial lactobacilli. Though not classified as a sexually transmitted infection, BV is strongly linked to sexual activity and can often reoccur if not properly managed.

Our Bacterial Vaginosis Awareness & Treatment Guide is your go-to resource for understanding, identifying, and managing BV with confidence and clarity. Designed for real-life use, this guide empowers women to take control of their intimate health through evidence-based knowledge and practical self-care tools.

What’s Inside:

• What is BV? – Understand what causes the imbalance, how it differs from other infections like yeast or trichomoniasis, and why it often returns.

• Recognizing Symptoms – Learn the most common signs: thin grey or white discharge, strong “fishy” odor, itching, or irritation—sometimes without any symptoms at all.

• Diagnosis & Testing – Step-by-step information on how BV is diagnosed using pH tests, swabs, and microscopic analysis — including what to expect at a clinic or with a home test.

• Effective Treatment Options – Explore medical treatments like Metronidazole or Clindamycin (oral or vaginal), and the pros and cons of natural remedies such as probiotics and boric acid.

• Prevention & Lifestyle Tips – Discover how to avoid triggers like douching, perfumed products, unprotected sex, or certain hygiene habits.

• Recurrent BV Solutions – Learn what to do if you’re experiencing frequent flare-ups, including long-term treatment plans and when to consult a specialist.

• Partner Considerations – Understand when it’s necessary to involve your sexual partner in treatment and how to prevent reinfection.
