Bacterial vaginosis is the infection of the female reproductive system that results from the overgrowth of bacteria in the vagina. This causes the pH balance or acidity of the vagina to be disrupted causing more bacteria to grow. The acidity of the vagina protects the reproductive system from being infected by harmful microorganisms.
This infection was often mistaken to be other infections of the reproductive system such as yeast infection or trichomoniasis because they almost have the same symptoms as bacterial vaginosis. A foul, fishy odor is the most common of bacterial vaginosis. A discharge can also come out of the vagina and this may be whitish, yellowish, or greyish. Some women also experience vaginal itching and swollen vagina.
Treatment of this infection is really necessary especially if a woman has BV during pregnancy. The bacteria in the vagina may spread up to the cervix toward the uterus. This may cause complications in pregnancy such as miscarriage and difficulty in child birth. For some women, the symptoms are very mild and they choose not to do any treatment but the condition may grow worse due to the continuous growth of bacteria.
A woman with this condition is advised to consult her gynaecologist and get herself treated. The gynaecologist can recommend various types of treatment. Usually, antibiotic treatments are prescribed to cure this. The antibiotics may be oral or topical depending on the preference of the patient and advice of the gynaecologist. Bacterial vaginosis during pregnancy is an issue that must be dealt with immediately and medication cannot be taken without the consent of the doctor
This is the best explanation of candida that I have found. Thanks for posting and defining clearly what this is.
