A member asked:

What causes cocci bacteria in the vagina?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacteria: Our body has all the skin and mucous membranes covered with millions of bacteria as part of our normal flora (population of organisms). These may include any bacteria from the stool which can populate the female genital tissues, including some species of cocci, which are ball-shaped organisms, and this includes many different species..
