Bacterial Vaginosis is really "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, Bacterial Vaginosis doesn't cause any other health problems. But it can lead to other issues, especially when you're pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
Causes
----------------
A type of bacteria called lactobacillus keeps your vagina slightly acidic so bad types of bacteria don't grow well. If your lactobacillus levels drop, more bad bacteria move in, and you get BV.
Any woman can get BV, but some things raise your odds, including:
Smoking
Sexual activity
Douching
You'd think that keeping your lady bits clean would stop BV, but when you wash out your vagina by douching, you upset the natural balance of bacteria. Scented soaps, bubble baths, and vaginal deodorants have a similar effect.
