Did you know that Many women with bacterial vaginosis have no clear signs or symptoms?.

Bacterial vaginosis.

 As it is known that;

A vagina should contain bacteria called lactobacilli. These bacteria produce lactic acid, making the vagina slightly acidic. This prevents other bacteria from growing there.

Lower levels of lactobacilli may cause the vagina to become less acidic. If the vagina is not as acidic as it should be, this can give other bacteria the chance to grow and thrive. However, exactly how these harmful bacteria are linked with bacterial vaginosis is not known.

A doctor should be consulted if the symptoms of BV are accompanied by itching, burning, or pain.

Are you shocked with this BV causes?

Bacterial vaginosis is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring bacterial flora, the usual bacteria found in a woman's vagina. Why this happens is not clear.

It is different from candidiasis, a yeast infection, or Trichomonas vaginalis (T. vaginalis), or trichomoniasis, also known as trich. These are not caused by bacteria.

The role of bacteria in the vagina.

All parts of the body have bacteria, but some are beneficial while others are harmful. When there are too many harmful bacteria, problems can arise.

The vagina contains mostly "good" bacteria and some harmful bacteria. Bacterial vaginosis occurs when the harmful bacteria grow in large numbers in the vagina.

Bacterial vaginosis, also known as vaginal bacteriosis, is the most common cause of vaginal infection for women of childbearing age.

It frequently develops after sexual intercourse with a new partner, and it is rare for a woman to have it if she has never had sexual intercourse.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) also increases the risk of developing a sexually transmitted infection (STI). However, BV is not considered as an STI.

BV is the vaginal infection most likely to affect women between the ages of 15 and 44 years.

Fast facts about bacterial vaginitis

• Bacterial vaginitis (BV) is the most common vaginal infection among women aged 15 to 44 years.
• Symptoms, if they appear, may include itching and a gray, watery discharge with a "fishy" smell.
• Untreated BV can lead to serious complications.
• Treatment is normally with Natural antibiotics rather than artificial ones.
• Some home remedies are suggested, but anyone with symptoms should see a doctor.

The main Causes of BV is as follows;

Bacterial vaginosis results from overgrowth of one of several bacteria naturally found in your vagina. Usually, "good" bacteria (lactobacilli) outnumber "bad" bacteria (anaerobes). But if there are too many anaerobic bacteria, they upset the natural balance of microorganisms in your vagina and cause bacterial vaginosis.

Risk factors

Risk factors for bacterial vaginosis include:

• Natural lack of lactobacilli bacteria. If your natural vaginal environment doesn't produce enough of the good lactobacilli bacteria, you're more likely to develop bacterial vaginosis.

 

Symptoms of Bv are as like this;

Bacterial vaginosis signs and symptoms may include:

• Thin, gray, white or green vaginal discharge
• Foul-smelling "fishy" vaginal odor
• Vaginal itching
• Burning during urination

Many women with bacterial vaginosis have no signs or symptoms.

  

seek for treatment if you find yourself:

• You have vaginal discharge that's new and associated with an odor or fever. Your doctor can help determine the cause and identify signs and symptoms.
• You've had vaginal infections before, but the color and consistency of your discharge seems different this time.
• You have multiple sex partners or a recent new partner. Sometimes, the signs and symptoms of a sexually transmitted infection are similar to those of bacterial vaginosis.
• You try self-treatment for a yeast infection with an over-the-counter treatment and your symptoms persist.

LISTEN CAREFULLY SO AS TO BE AWAY FROM THIS;

Complications that may be led by the BV to your health.

Bacterial vaginosis doesn't generally cause complications. Sometimes, having bacterial vaginosis increases susceptibility to the virus may lead to:

• Preterm birth. In pregnant women, bacterial vaginosis is linked to premature deliveries and low birth weight babies.
• Sexually transmitted infections. Having bacterial vaginosis makes women more susceptible to sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV, herpes simplex virus, chlamydia or gonorrhea and human papilloma virus (HPV). If you have HIV, bacterial vaginosis increases the odds that you'll pass the virus on to your partner.
• Infection risk after gynecologic surgery. Having bacterial vaginosis may increase the risk of developing a post-surgical infection after procedures such as hysterectomy or dilation and curettage (D&C).
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Bacterial vaginosis can sometimes cause PID, an infection of the uterus and the fallopian tubes that can increase the risk of infertility.

 

Most people may ask how can she/he be able to prevent this disease to her/his family members?....

Prevention

To help prevent bacterial vaginosis:

• Minimize vaginal irritation. Use mild, nondeodorant soaps and unscented tampons or pads.
• Don't douche. Your vagina doesn't require cleansing other than normal bathing. Frequent douching disrupts the vaginal balance and may increase your risk of vaginal infection. Douching won't clear up a vaginal infection.

Avoid a sexually transmitted infection. Use a male latex condom, limit your number of sex partners or abstain from intercourse to minimize your risk of a sexually transmitted infections.

Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection. What ways can women treat this condition at home?

As many as 1 in 4 women have bacterial vaginosis (BV). Many have no symptoms, and some mistake their symptoms for another infection, such as a yeast infection.

The most common symptom of BV is a foul-smelling, fishy odor coming from the vagina. Some women also experience itching, burning, or an unusual gray discharge.

Natural Antibiotics can treat most cases of BV. Some women prefer to try home remedies first, while others find that BV continues to recur after multiple rounds of antibiotics.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE NOTED;

1. What should be done to Women who suspect they have BV;

Women who suspect they have BV should see a doctor if:

•        They are pregnant: BV is linked to preterm labor, miscarriage, low birth weight, and other pregnancy complications. Prompt treatment can reduce the risk. Moreover, some home remedies for BV, such as the use of essential oils, may not be safe for pregnant women.
•        There are other symptoms: A burning sensation during urination, intense pain, blood discharge, or similar symptoms may suggest something other than BV.
•   They develop a fever: This also points to another infection.
• They experience intense burning or itching.
• Home remedies have failed: Some other infections can mimic BV. Untreated, these infections can get much worse.
• They are unsure whether the problem is BV: Women with a history of recurring yeast infections, for example, should see a doctor before beginning home treatment. Some companies now sell over-the-counter vaginal tests, which may be an option for women unsure of the cause of their symptoms. 
• In most cases, a doctor can easily diagnose BV. A short course of antibiotics should clear up the infection. These antibiotics rarely produce significant side effects.

2. Know how sex can cause bacterial vaginosis.

BV can spread between sexual partners. So, a woman who thinks she has BV should abstain from sex, or practice safer sex with a condom, until the infection is gone.

Sexual practices that disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in the vagina may also trigger an outbreak of BV. Strategies that lower the risk include:

• Never transition from anal to vaginal sex: This can transfer fecal material to the vagina, causing BV. Change condoms before going from anal to vaginal intercourse, and never place anything in the vagina that has been in the anus without washing with soap and warm water.
• Using a condom during sexual intercourse: When semen mixes with vaginal fluids, it can make the smell of an existing BV infection worse.
• Urinating immediately after intercourse: After urinating, rinse the vagina and vulva with clear water. In some women, sexual fluids and lubricants change the delicate pH balance of the vagina, making them more vulnerable to a BV infection.

• Because BV can cause a foul-smelling odor, many women mistakenly believe it is due to poor hygiene. This is a myth.

The vagina is a self-cleaning organ that does not require douches, soaps, or perfumes. In fact, the use of these products can alter vaginal pH. This increases vulnerability to BV and may produce a foul-smelling odor in itself.

To reduce the risk and avoid exacerbating an existing infection:

• Avoid using any scented products on the vagina, including scented tampons or soaps.
• Do not douche, as this alters vaginal chemistry and can use scented products that may cause irritation.
• Wash the vagina with water only and never insert soap into the vagina. It is usually safe to use unscented soap on the vulva.
• Wear breathable cotton underwear.
• Wipe from front to back, as this will avoid sweeping fecal matter into the vagina. Never use objects that have been in the anus, such as sex toys, in the vagina.
• Keep the vaginal area dry. Avoid sitting in wet swimwear or underwear, and gently pat the vagina dry after a shower.
• Wash hands before touching the vagina, especially if inserting objects, such as tampons or menstrual cups.
