Bacterial vaginitis: is the diagnosis, this occurs when gardnerella, overgrows above it's normal amount. This causes the symptoms of vaginitis. The cause of the change is multifactorial, such as hormonal, or stress on your immune system. Treatment is with an antibiotic metronidazole gel intravaginal, in most cases. This gel tends not to destroy beneficial lactobacili.
