DTS: WHAT IS THE BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS?
Posted by adminincidence: very common
cause: bacteria such as Gardnerella, Bacteroides, and Mycoplasma
symptoms: vaginal discharge, fishy odor
The vagina normally contains a combination of several kinds of bacteria, including the most common vaginal bacterium, Lactobacillus. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a bacterial syndrome that occurs when other bacteria that also occur normally in the vagina—such as Gardnerella vaginalis, Bacteroides species, and Mycoplasma hominis—begin to reproduce rapidly and replace the normal bacteria. BV then, is a syndrome caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina that disturbs the normal balance of bacteria there. It is sometimes referred to women, it is the most common vaginal disorder.
In the past BV was called Gardnerella (referring only to one of the bacteria that can cause this infection) or nonspecific vaginosis (a term that has gone out of use since the causes of BV have been determined).
