Bacterial vaginosis is a type of vaginal inflammation caused by the overgrowth of bacteria naturally found in the vagina, which upsets the natural balance. Women in their reproductive years are most likely to get bacterial vaginosis, but it can affect women of any age.
Symptoms include
Vaginal discharge with foul-smelling Grayish or white vaginal discharge Burning sensation while urinating Itching around the vagina area
Causes
It is not a sexually transmitted disease, but an infection that can be transmitted from one sexual partner to another.
Overgrowth of one of several bacteria presents naturally in the vagina. The risk factors include: Having multiple sex partners Douching Natural lack of lactobacilli bacteria
Prevention
Lower the vaginal irritation by using mild, non-deodorant soaps Use unscented pads Don't over-clean the vagina as it disturbs the vaginal pH Limit the number of sex partners Use latex condoms Abstain from intercourse to reduce the risk of a sexually transmitted infection
