What is Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)?
BV occurs when there’s a change in the natural pH balance in your vagina. This allows certain bacteria to grow which leads to symptoms such as strong vaginal odour and excess watery discharge. Being aware of the various triggers and signs as well as treatments is essential for managing your intimate health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is caused by an imbalance of natural bacteria in the vagina.

The gel works by restoring the vagina’s natural pH level and supporting healthy bacteria, helping to relieve symptoms like fishy odour, abnormal discharge, and discomfort.
If you notice a strong fishy smell, grey or watery discharge, or vaginal discomfort, you may have BV. These symptoms are different from thrush and can appear after sex, menstruation, or antibiotic use. For accurate diagnosis, speak with a healthcare professional.
BV is common but often misunderstood. It’s not officially classified as an STI, though research suggests it can be passed between sexual partners, which may increase recurrence risk. Treating both partners may help reduce repeat infections. BV is a shared health concern, not just a 'women’s issue'.
Insert one tube of Balance Activ BV Gel into the vagina daily for 7 days to treat BV. For ongoing protection, use 1–2 tubes per week or after triggers such as sex or your period. The gel is easy to apply and mess-free. Always follow the instructions provided with the product.
Avoid using Balance Activ BV Gel during menstruation, as menstrual flow may reduce its effectiveness. Wait until your period is finished before applying the gel for treatment or ongoing support.
Yes. Balance Activ BV Gel is suitable for women who experience recurrent BV and want a non-antibiotic solution to help support vaginal health. For persistent or frequent BV, speak with a healthcare professional for personalised advice.
Balance Activ BV Gel is considered safe to use during pregnancy. Always consult your GP or midwife before use to ensure it is suitable for your individual circumstances.
