BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS IS NOT A SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASE. OK, now we can stop worrying a little. Bacterial Vaginosis is one of the most common causes of infection in the female genital area, even more common than yeast infections. Bacterial Vaginosis is defined as the condition whereby the normal flora, typically Lactobacillus, in the vagina is out-populated by abnormally growing bacteria, specifically Gardnerella. Physiologically, a woman’s vagina has a healthy supply of naturally occurring bacteria that helps fend off unwanted foreign and potentially harmful bacteria. An imbalance of any kind (too much or too little) can sometimes result in Bacterial Vaginosis.

It is said that 1 in every 10 women will be effected by Bacterial Vaginosis at least once in her lifetime. Whilst Bacterial Vaginosis is NOT a sexually transmitted disease the chances of developing it are greatly increased with frequent sexual intercourse, especially with different partners.
It is possible to have Bacterial Vaginosis and not know as many women remain symptomless and are not properly diagnosed if seeking treatment. Bacterial Vaginosis is not life-threatening or hazardous to a woman’s health but can be embarrassing at times especially if she develops an odor.
Having Bacterial Vaginosis may increase the chances of contracting a STD, as the imbalance of natural bacteria responsible for defending you from such diseases is upset. This alone is a very good reason to treat your infection.

In order to treat Bacterial Vaginosis, the normal levels of bacteria must be reset in the vagina to prevent another outbreak. There are several effective ways to do this, though they don’t always work for everyone.
Common treatment is a prescription of antibiotics, and as you may already know, a very high percent of women who take antibiotics for Bacterial Vaginosis will have a recurring infection within a couple months. Re-infection usually occurs after antibiotic treatment because antibiotics only treat the symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis and not the causes.
