Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common condition caused by an imbalance of the natural bacteria in the vagina. Symptoms may include a thin, gray, or white vaginal discharge with a fishy odor, vaginal itching, and burning during urination. Although BV can sometimes resolve on its own, it can lead to more serious health risks if left untreated, including increased susceptibility to STIs and complications during pregnancy. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, either in oral or topical form.
