Imbalance
So, what is an imbalance?
Different types of bacteria live naturally in the vagina;
normally the bacteria present in the largest numbers are lactic
acid bacteria. Lactic acid bacteria produce acidifying lactic acid
which maintains the normal low pH of the vagina, protecting against
infection. If the numbers of lactic acid bacteria are reduced, pH
levels rise, encouraging the growth of other bacteria. This can
result in embarrassing odour, abnormal discharge and discomfort in
the vagina which are very common problems.
The growth of the unwanted bacteria is a condition known as
Bacterial Vaginosis or BV. Experts estimate that at least 1 in 3
women, and perhaps most women, will develop BV at some point in
their life.
It is commonly thought that Thrush is the most common type of
vaginal infection, but Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is actually the
most frequently occurring vaginal condition in women of
childbearing age, and is about twice as common as Thrush.
