You all must have heard of healthy gut bacteria which help in food digestion and absorption. There are bad bacteria as well, which gets troublesome for the ladies, in particular. Commonly called vaginal infection and scientifically called Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), they are normally found in the vagina.

Let us find out what causes bacterial vaginosis in the first place.
Causes

We normally crib about presence of bacteria “around us”. But do you know what causes it to be “inside us”?

Bacterial vaginosis is caused when there is a change in the number or quantity of the bacteria found in vagina. Biological and chemical imbalance of the vaginal flora is one of the key reasons of vaginal bacteriosis. There are other grounds of BV too. Let us check them out.

Bacterial Vaginosis: When bad bacteria outgrow the good bacteria, it leads to BV. This happens most in sexual intercourse, or when women have more than one sex partner, or when she is sexually inactive.

Yeast Infections: Majority of vaginal infections are caused by the fungus C Albicans. This fungus infects other parts of the body too, for instance nail bed, mouth or skin fold.

Trichomoniasis: This infection happens when sex takes place with infected partners.

Noninfectious Vaginitis: When you buy toiletry products like perfume soaps, scent detergents, vaginal sprays, they can irritate your vaginal tissues and vulvar zone thereby leading to allergies. Menopause and surgical removal of ovaries can thin your vaginal lining which can cause your vagina to experience itching and burning sensation.
Apart from the reasons mentioned above, namely poor hygiene, smoking, drinking alcohol, can also become the cause of bacterial vaginosis.
Who gets it and How Common it is?

In reality, as many as 1 to 3 women have faced BV at some point in their lives.

Does it include you?

Well, you will have to answer it to yourself. But, bacterial vaginosis is so mild that one may not feel the need to go to the doctor. However, you can get BV if you have gone through the following conditions:

Women who are sexually active are more prone to bacterial vaginosis (Women who have never had sexual intercourse can also get this infection).

How often you have changed your sexual partner can also lead to BV.

You have had sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the past.

You are an active smoker.
