Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an infection of the vagina
A healthy vagina contains a lot of good bacteria and some bad bacteria.
But sometimes, there’s an imbalance. When your vagina contains too much bad bacteria and not enough good bacteria, the imbalance leads to bacterial vaginosis
Untreated BV may increase risk of getting STD
A BV test can help you get diagnosed and treated
