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.
