&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. It affects women aged 15&amp;ndash;44 and can lead to discomfort, unusual discharge, and an increased risk of other infections if left untreated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatment options is essential for maintaining vaginal health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Is Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/bacterial-vaginosis&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a condition where certain bacteria in the vagina have overgrown, causing a change in the balance of the vagina&#39;s bacteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis and vaginal yeast infection are both types of vaginal infections. Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria, while an increase in fungi causes vaginal yeast infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis is very common, affecting women aged 15&amp;ndash;44. It typically occurs more often in sexually active women than in those who are not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the Causes of Bacterial Vaginosis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis is often caused by a bacterium known as Gardnerella Vaginalis. The most common type of bacteria in your vagina. Any changes in the chemistry of the vagina&#39;s pH balance may lead to infection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Ureaplasma&amp;nbsp;infection is also a possible cause of bacterial vaginosis.&amp;nbsp;Ureaplasma belongs to a class of bacteria known as&amp;nbsp;Mycoplasma. The vaginal pH can be affected by other reasons, such as having a new sexual partner, hormonal changes, and douching.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Not all women infected with bacterial vaginosis will display symptoms.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Some of the possible symptoms of BV can be:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When To See A Doctor?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Visit your doctor to have a regular check and discuss your symptoms. Your doctor will perform &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.ph/std-testing&quot;&gt;vaginal swab tests&lt;/a&gt;. Treatment may include antibodies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Most of the time, male sex partners of women diagnosed with BV generally do not need to be treated. However, BV may infect your female sex partners.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Can I Do to Prevent Recurring Bacterial Vaginosis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Take care of your vagina hygiene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Take probiotics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Prevent sharing and clean your sex toys&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Avoid douching&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;See your doctor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis can recur even after your treatment.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you start experiencing symptoms after treatment, please visit your doctor to determine if you have a recurrent infection or other infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;In Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis is treatable, but ignoring symptoms can lead to serious complications, including increased risk of STDs, pregnancy issues, and pelvic infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Early detection and proper care are key to preventing recurrence and maintaining vaginal health.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
