Bacteria Vaginosis is usually not considered a sexually transmitted disease although it occurs more often in sexually active women than non-sexually active women.
Bacteria Vaginosis is a condition as a result of the replacement of the usual lactobacilli in the vagina with high concentrations of anaerobic bacteria such as Gardnerella Vaginalis, Mycoplasma Hominis, Mobiluncus Species and prevotella species. This results in a rise in PH from the usual 4.5 to as high as 7.0.

Possible complications of Bacteria Vaginosis
It has been associated with pregnancy related complications such as preterm labor, late miscarriages, premature rupture of membranes and post-delivery endometritis.
It is also associated with pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginal cellulitis post-surgery and endometritis.
Currently there has been more evidence suggesting that Bacteria Vaginosis (lack of lactobacilli) has been associated with an increased risk of HIV contraction with a HIV partner during heterosexual intercourse.
Clinical symptoms and signs of Bacteria Vaginosis
Most people with bacteria vaginosis have no symptoms. If they do have symptoms they may present with an unpleasant fishy smelly thin white homogenous vaginal discharge.
