What
is bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial
vaginosis is an abnormal vaginal condition that is most often recognized by a
fishy vaginal discharge. This is as a result from an overgrowth of normal
bacteria in the vagina. You may have heard of Gardner Ella vaginitis. This is
what this condition used to be called. It was named after the bacterium that
was thought to cause the condition.
ΓΌ New
research found that there are several different species of bacteria that live
naturally in the vaginal area. Gardner Ella is not the only bacteria causing
all the odor.
The name
of this condition has been
changed to
bacteria vaginosis to reflect these new findings.
When all
the different species of bacteria become imbalanced, you will notice a vaginal
discharge that is associated with a fishy odor.
Bacterial
vaginosis is not an STD. It is not passed by sex. It is very embarrassing and
disturbing and it is very dangerous as it lead to have a very disturbing sex
life and even loss of partner and acquaintances if not treated early. If you
notice an unusual discharge, you should have it checked so you can rule out
Chlamydia and gonorrhea which are serious infections.

of bacterial vaginosis?

symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are a foul, fishy odor and
a grayish white discharge. The amount of the discharge varies so there
is no amount that is considered "normal". There are no other
symptoms. Some women with bacterial vaginosis will experience no symptoms at
