This is infection caused by the bacteria Gardenrella.
Bacterial vaginosis is not sexually transmitted infection. But promiscuity,
vaginal douches, intrauterine contraception device and long use of antibiotics
are consider as risk factors.
This condition is usually asymtomatic but the
most common is gray vaginal discharge with fishy odor. At some women there is
also vaginal itching and burning.
Bacterial vaginosis can be dangerous during
pregnancy and can increase the risk for contracting sexually-trasmitted
infections
It is recommended no treatment in normal cases,
but pregnant women should take antibiotics as metronidazole and clindamycin.
