Bacterial Vaginosis (Vaginal Infection) | Causes, Risk Factors, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Bacterial Vaginosis (which is also known as nonspecific vaginitis) is a bacterial infection of the vagina, due to disruptions and abnormalities in normal vaginal bacterial flora.

In this lesson, we discuss the factors you should avoid to reduce the risk of bacterial vaginosis, including the causative bacteria, signs and symptoms, how it’s diagnosed and how it’s treated.
