Bacterial Vaginosis is in the simplest definition an excess of a particular type of bacteria. It is a bacterial overgrowth.
There are potentially a large number of triggers and sometimes it is a series of events that can eventually lead to Bacterial Vaginosis.
A healthy woman's vagina normally is populated with "good" and "bad" bacteria. The "good" bacteria population will be greater under normal circumstances but due to a variety of influences this "good" bacteria begin to decrease and becomes the minority.
The most common symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis include abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor (often described as fishy). This odor may be more pronounced after sex. Burning during urination or itching around the outside of the vagina.
