There is an acute infection that troubles a majority of girls and women at least once in their life: Bacterial Vaginosis.
Commonly known as BV, this is an infection which kick starts many problems.
It may eventually lead to lack of fertility.
There is a thin and regular discharge of a liquid caused by amine formation.
The liquid has a strange smell resembling dead fish.
The smell becomes a part of the girls' lives if they are suffering from BV.
The other symptoms are petty itching, swelling and redness in the affected area.
The area becomes very soft and open to more invasions.
Bacterial vaginosis is a condition where there is imbalance between the two prominent bacteria in the vagina.
Lactobacillus is a good one and Gardenerella the evil one.
The latter is caused by anerobes which means it does not need any oxygen too multiply.
When the latter starts to win over the former, sexual hormones go for a toss and a steady infection occurs.
This is called bacterial vaginosis.
It may be caused by inserting infectious things in the vagina or even injecting into the blood.
It is helped by the increase in sexual partners.
Some renowned medical schools are ever fighting over sexual involvement in the disease.
One thing is for sure.
Promiscuous sex aids the infection.
Cigarette and other addictive consumptions may also cause ready criteria for bacterial vaginosis.
Girls affected from it have to go for fast and stable treatments.
Antibiotics are often touted as the best way.
