&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment in the Philippines | Causes, Symptoms &amp;amp; Care at PULSE Clinic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/bacterial-vaginosis&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is a common vaginal infection caused by an imbalance in the vagina&amp;rsquo;s natural bacterial flora. A healthy vagina typically contains a mix of bacteria, with lactobacilli (the &quot;good&quot; bacteria) keeping anaerobes (the &quot;bad&quot; bacteria) in check. When anaerobes grow excessively, they disrupt this balance, leading to symptoms of BV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Although BV can occur at any age, it is most common among women of reproductive age, especially those who are sexually active. Hormonal changes, multiple or new sexual partners, and practices like douching can all increase the risk.&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;Symptoms 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;Some individuals with BV may not notice any symptoms, but when they do occur, they may include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Thin vaginal discharge (gray, white, or green)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;A strong, &quot;fishy&quot; vaginal odor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Vaginal itching or irritation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Burning sensation during urination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s important to consult a healthcare provider if you notice unusual vaginal discharge, suspect an &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/most-common-sexually-transmitted-infections-in-the-philippines&quot;&gt;STI&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, or have recurrent infections with different symptoms.&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 Causes BV?&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 results from an overgrowth of harmful anaerobic bacteria that overwhelm the beneficial &lt;em&gt;lactobacilli&lt;/em&gt;. This microbial imbalance can be triggered by several factors, including:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unprotected sex or new sex partners&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Douching or using scented hygiene products&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low levels of natural lactobacilli in the vagina&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;While BV is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), it is associated with sexual activity and higher STI risk.&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;Risk Factors&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;You&#39;re more likely to develop BV if you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Have a new or multiple sex partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Use douches or feminine sprays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Are sexually active with female partners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Have a naturally low level of &lt;em&gt;lactobacilli&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;These factors disturb the vaginal microbiome and increase the chance of developing or recurring BV.&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;Possible Complications&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;Although often mild, &lt;strong&gt;untreated BV can lead to serious health concerns&lt;/strong&gt;, such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Increased susceptibility to STIs&lt;/strong&gt; (including &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/hiv-testing&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HIV&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/gonorrhea-in-the-philippines-symptoms-testing-complications-and-treatment&quot;&gt;gonorrhea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/chlamydia-in-the-philippines-symptoms-testing-and-treatment&quot;&gt;chlamydia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://pulse-clinic.com.ph/where-to-get-herpes-test-in-the-philippines&quot;&gt;herpes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Complications during pregnancy&lt;/strong&gt;, like preterm birth and low birth weight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Post-surgical infections&lt;/strong&gt; after procedures like a hysterectomy or D&amp;amp;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)&lt;/strong&gt;, which can affect fertility&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;If you are pregnant and have symptoms of BV, testing and treatment are essential for protecting both your health and your baby&amp;rsquo;s.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
