What is Bacterial Vaginosis?

Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a prevalent infection caused by an imbalance of natural bacteria in the vaginal environment. This imbalance can lead to various symptoms, including excess vaginal discharge accompanied by an unpleasant odour. While some cases of BV may resolve on their own with mild symptoms, in other instances, a course of antibiotic medication may be recommended for effective treatment.

What can Cause Bacterial Vaginosis?

Various factors can increase the risk of developing BV, including:

  • Smoking: Being a smoker can contribute to the disruption of the vaginal bacterial balance.
  • New Sexual Partner: Engaging in sexual activity with a new partner can impact the vaginal flora.
  • Contraceptive Methods: Using an intrauterine device (IUD) for contraception can potentially trigger BV in some cases.

Accurate Diagnosis through Vaginal Swabs

Our experienced medical professionals conduct thorough examinations to diagnose BV accurately. A vaginal swab may be recommended to assess the acidity level of your vagina and confirm the presence of BV. We understand that this may not be the most comfortable appointment, but our compassionate team strives to make you feel at ease throughout the process.

Treatment

For cases requiring intervention, a course of antibiotic medication will be prescribed. Our skilled GPs will select the most suitable antibiotics based on your condition, ensuring effective and lasting relief from BV symptoms.
