What is bacterial vaginosis?<\/h2><\/summary>
\n

Most vaginas smell a little from time to time, and it\u2019s usually nothing to worry about. But if the odor coming from your vaginal tract is strong and reminiscent of rotten fish, it could be a sign of bacterial vaginosis, or BV. Bacterial vaginosis is the most common vaginal infection that causes vaginal odor, affecting as many as one in four women in Europe. Women of childbearing age have the highest risk for BV, but you may become infected at any age. Although BV is caused by a bacterial imbalance and isn\u2019t considered a sexually transmitted disease, it can increase your risk of contracting a more serious disease, for example chlamydia. T he good news is that BV is easily treated and prevented with natural products that you can buy online or at your local pharmacy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n

\n

Vaginal atrophy. But menopause isn\u2019t the only reason why your estrogen levels may drop. Childbirth, breastfeeding, certain medical conditions and taking oral contraception can also decrease estrogen and in turn lead to vaginal dryness. In some cases, a dry vagina is not related to estrogen at all, but to excessive hygiene practices. Regardless of what\u2019s causing your vagina to feel like the Sahara Desert, there are safe and effective treatments that can help.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"from-article-database":[],"class_list":["post-38","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nFAQ - Multi-Gyn<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Frequent asked questions: What is bacterial vaginosis?
