Bacterial Vaginosis

Both "good" and "bad" bacteria live in your vagina. If the delicate balance between them is upset, you can get an infection called bacterial vaginosis, or BV for short. You may not have symptoms, and you may not need treatment.

Most of the time, BV doesn't cause any other health problems. But it can lead to other issues, especially when you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant.

The Gardnerella organism is not the sole type of bacteria causing the symptoms. Other kinds of bacteria that can be involved in bacterial vaginosis are Lactobacillus, Bacteroides, Peptostreptococcus, Fusobacterium, Eubacterium, as well as a number of other types. When these multiple species of bacteria that normally reside in the vagina become unbalanced, a woman can have a vaginal discharge with a foul odor.
