What is bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common cause of abnormal vaginal discharge resulting from an imbalance of vaginal bacteria. Some patients have findings consistent with bacterial vaginosis on bacteriological culture but are asymptomatic. It is not considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI), although sexual activity is a risk factor.
