Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) - symptoms and how to test

Vaginosis caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina is called bacterial vaginosis (BV). This disrupts the delicate vaginal bacterial equilibrium. When it comes to women between the ages of 15 and 44, bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most frequent vaginal issue. Indeed, one-third of American women will get BV, according to experts' estimates. Black women experience this at a greater rate. If you have BV symptoms, you may need to get tested. Antibiotic tablets or vaginal antibiotic creams or gels are likely to be prescribed if your tests indicate a BV infection.
