Understanding bacterial vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a frequent vaginal condition caused by an imbalance of the natural bacteria. It is not classed as a sexually transmitted infection, although it can be linked to sexual activity.
Why bacterial vaginosis happens

How bacterial vaginosis feels

- Thin grey or white discharge
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Mild irritation or itching
How bacterial vaginosis is treated
The doctor takes a careful, private history and, if BV is likely, can prescribe suitable treatment. When symptoms are unclear, an in-person examination or swab may be advised. Typical choices are antibiotic tablets or vaginal gels such as metronidazole or clindamycin.
