What is bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. It's not a sexually transmitted infection (STI), but it can increase your risk of getting STIs.

What are the symptoms of BV?

The most common symptom is a thin, grayish-white vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, especially after sex. Some women also experience itching or burning around the vagina.

How is BV treated?

BV is typically treated with antibiotics, either oral or vaginal creams or gels. It's important to complete the full course of antibiotics even if your symptoms improve.
