Overview

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal infections in women of reproductive age and one of the most misunderstood. While it is not considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD), BV is associated with the same risk factors as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomoniasis. In fact, scientists aren't even entirely sure which mechanisms give rise to BV or why some women are prone to the infection and others aren't.What we do know is that, whatever the underlying cause, BV is the result of an imbalance in the vaginal flora in which healthy bacteria are depleted, allowing unhealthy ones to proliferate. Some of the possible triggers include sexual practices, genetics, and general/vaginal health.Bacterial vaginosis is not considered an STD because the infection is not caused by a foreign pathogen such as a virus (like HIV) or a bacterium (like syphilis). Instead, the infection occurs when certain bad bacteria commonly found in the vagina are given the opportunity to thrive.The culprits include Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, and strains of the Prevotella and Morbiluncus bacteria. These bacteria are usually kept in check by the immune system and, more importantly perhaps, the acidity of the vagina (as measured by the vaginal pH).Get a copy of this book and explore how CBD Oil perfectly treat Bacteria Vaginosis.
