Question 2

can anyone tell me what causes bacterial vaginosis?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal flora: Bacterial vaginosis is a mild infection of the vagina caused by native bacteria. Normally, there are a lot of "good" bacteria and some "bad" bacteria in the vagina. The good types help control the growth of the bad types. In women with BV, the balance is upset. There are not enough good bacteria and too many bad bacteria.A sign of bacterial vaginosis can be a "fishy" smell, which may be worse after sex. About half of women who have bacterial vaginosis do not notice any symptoms.

Question 3

does bacterial vaginosis cause cervicitis?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Bacterial vaginosis usually causes a thin, grey-white discharge and a characteristic bad smell, which could be described as "musty" or "fishy." unlike a cervicitis, where the cervix is the source of discharge due an infection or other irritation, with bacterial vaginosis the discharge comes from the vagina due to a shift away from the good bacteria that usually live there.

Question 4

does bacterial vaginosis cause pid?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly: The presence of untreated bacterial vaginitis can be 'massaged" into the cervix and thus the Fallopian tubes resulting in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID).  However, early bacterial vaginitis that is properly treated usually does not produce PID. More notable causes of PID include the range of sexually transmitted diseases. (STD's)
