Bacterial vaginosis
|
| Publisher: |
Queensland Health
|
| Description: |
Bacterial vaginosis is a poorly understood disease. It is associated with several changes in the vagina including: 1) less normal healthy bacteria in the vagina (especially ones called Lactobacilli); 2) the vaginal fluids, which are normally quite acidic, become less acidic; and 3) other bacteria in the vagina increase in number. These changes result in a change in the normal vaginal discharge.
