Cause Of Bacterial Vaginitis

The main cause of bacterial vaginitis is not human papilloma virus, but vulvar and vaginal infections. Strong chemicals or soaps, douching, may bring on symptoms, or bacteria spread during sex. Symptoms may include swelling, itching, abnormal vaginal discharge, and a strong fishy smell. BV is most commonly found in women and is not a sexually transmitted disease, although it is associated with sex.

Cause Of Bacterial Vaginitis

Human Papilloma Virus, Vulvar
