Bacterial Vaginosis; Lifestyle Tips.
1. The Culprit Behind Vaginitis
The vagina normally contains lots of "good" bacteria called lactobacilli plus a few other types of bacteria called anaerobes. Too many anaerobes can cause bacterial vaginosis, although health care professionals are not certain why the anaerobe bacteria overgrow and cause this infection. If you experience any symptoms--abnormal, odorous vaginal discharge--see your health care professional. The condition is easily treated with antibiotics such as metronidazole or clindamycin.
