Bacterial Vaginosis causes
A healthy vagina normally has many bacteria’s. Some of the common ones are Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus jensenii. Lactobacillus which a hydrogen peroxide producing species, helps prevent other vaginal bacteria from increasing to a level that they can cause any harm. The bacteria involved in BV are different. And a change in the normal bacterial flora which may be due to the use of antibiotics or pH imbalance gives these bacteria’s to gain more foothold and multiply. When this happens the body produces toxins that will affect the natural defenses of the body and makes the re-colonization of healthy bacteria’s more difficult.

There are different causes for bacterial vaginosis. One of the most infamous causes are thongs as the cloth rubs against the anus and vagina. bacterial Vaginosis is most common with sexually active women between the ages of 15 and 44, especially after contact with a new partner. It is also shown that condoms may provide some protection. Although bacterial Vaginosis can be associated with sexual activity, there is no clear evidence of sexual transmission. So you don’t need to get your ex partners tested in case you have been infected with this decease.
