What is BV?

First off BV is not a sexually transmitted diseas. To sum it up it's over growth of bad bacteria in the vagina that causes a fould oder, irretation, swelling, and itching. It can be mistaken for a yeast infection. Below is the best definition I found for BV from Wikipedia:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal infection. For grammatical reasons, some people prefer to call it vaginal bacteriosis[citation needed]. It is not generally considered to be a sexually transmitted infection[1] (see causes below). BV is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring bacterial flora, and should not be confused with yeast infection (candidiasis), or infection with Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis) which are not caused by bacteria.

Hemena is a bacterial infection of the vagina. It's named after a bacterial build up on the hymen. Not to be confused with yeast infections, this disease can only occur in women. It's an unhealthy amount of bacteria infecting the membrane.

Now that you know what BV I ask you to continue to educate yourself and help others. Use this blog to do just that, spread the word!
