Our professional advice and insights from natural health experts
Bacterial vaginosis, which affects 15–20% of women in France, results from a significant imbalance in the vaginal flora. Under normal conditions, the vaginal cavity is colonized by lactobacilli.
What causes bacterial vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis is caused by the overgrowth of microorganisms such as Gardnerella vaginalis or Prevotella. This overgrowth occurs at the expense of lactobacilli, which are responsible for maintaining the vagina’s acidity. This causes an increase in pH (above 5, whereas it is normally 4.5).
Bacterial vaginosis refers to a mild vaginal infection caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora. It is very common and can be bothersome, but is not serious.
Vaginal discharge may be white or gray, light or heavy. It usually has a strong odor. The odor may become more pronounced after sexual intercourse and during menstruation. Itching is rare.
