Bacterial Vaginosis

Bacterial vaginosis is a type of infection of the vagina caused by the overgrowth of bacteria naturally found in the vagina. Which upsets the natural balance. Women in their reproductive years are most likely to get bacterial vaginosis, but it can affect women of any age.
To prevent Bacterial vaginosis: -Use warm water only to clean the outside of your vagina. -Do not douche. Douching upsets the balance of good and harmful bacteria in your vagina.
