BV: Bacterial vaginosis is a normal inhabitant of the vagina. Certain factors such as intercourse, stress, hormonal changes, and concurrent illness can tip the balance and cause symptoms. I would definitely recommend probiotics such as acidophilus tablets twice daily to increase the healthy bacteria in the vagina. You can use one applicator of clindamycin after sex for prevention.
