Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a condition which occurs when there is too much growth of normal bacteria in the vagina. While it is not a sexually transmitted disease (STDs), it does increase your risk of getting STDs.
It is a very common condition and certain things, such as douching and not using condoms can increase your chances of developing it.
BV often has no symptoms but common symptoms include discharge, itching or pain from the vagina. It also increases complication rates during pregnancy.
If the test is positive, a short course of antibiotics should be helpful.
