How do I prevent bacterial vaginosis?

You can avoid bacterial vaginosis by keeping the vaginal area clean with warm water and mild soap, avoid douching, wear breathable cotton underwear, and practice safe sex.

What causes bacterial vaginosis?

The causes of BV are linked to the increase of bacteria growth. Risk factors include douching, having multiple sex partners, having unprotected sex, using heavily scented or antibacterial soaps, wearing non-breathable, tight clothing, and even hormonal changes.
