Bacterial Vaginosis
What is bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) occurs when the harmless small levels of bacteria in the vagina, suddenly increases to higher amounts. The higher levels can cause problems.
How do you get it?
Increases in BV are usually caused by:
- Having new or multiple sex partners
- Increased sexual activity
- Getting an STI
- Illness, antibiotics or stress
Because BV can also occur in women who have never had sex, it is not generally considered to be an STI. However if you have BV it can increase your chances of getting an STI.
What are the symptoms?
Some women may not have any symptoms. If you do have symptoms, they could be:
- Greyish, white smelly discharge from the vagina
- A strong odour from the vagina which is worse after sex
How do you treat it?
BV is usually treated with antibiotics, although if you have no symptoms it can go away on its own. You shouldn’t drink alcohol while taking the antibiotics or you may get severe vomiting.
