BV can happen when the amount and type of bacteria in the vagina change. Lactobacilli are a type of bacteria that are always present in the vagina. In women with BV, the amount of lactobacilli is greatly reduced.

There are a few different activities which are thought to cause BV including a new sexual partner, douching, and smoking cigarettes. BV isn't just limited to sexually active women though; Women who have never had vaginal intercourse may also have the pleasure of getting it.

There are two recommended types of medicine used for the treatment of BV: metronidazole and clindamycin. Both of these can be taken orally in a pill, or with a gel or cream that is inserted inside the vagina. Oral medication is easier to take and cleaner but it also causes more side effects. But after all of this, BV usually comes back to visit.
