Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common cause of vaginal infection. It is NOT generally considered to be a sexually transmitted infection. The most common symptom of BV is an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant fishy smell. There is rarely itching. Nearly half of all women with BV don't notice any symptoms.

Bacterial vaginosis can be cured by antibiotics such as metronidazole and tetracycline; there is however a high rate of recurrence. Bacterial vaginosis can also be treated with over the counter products such as RePhresh, boric acid, or Lactobacillus Acidophilus capsules.
