What are Bacterial Vaginosis Symptoms?
In most cases, BV causes no complications. But there are some serious risks from BV including:
- Having BV can increase a woman’s susceptibility to HIV infection if she is exposed to the HIV virus.

hey girls, go to wal mart, go to the vitimin section and get a $5.00 bottle of acidophilus. this will work. you can take the doc perscribes pills first to get rid of it and then the otc vitimin to keep it gone. Also, get your hormones checked by the doc too. Sometimes if your ovaries have problems, it will cause the balance of bacteria to get messed up too.
