Is bacterial vaginosis common?
If you’re having bacterial vaginosis, you’re not alone. In fact, it’s probably way more common than you think - in fact, it is the most common vaginal problem for women ages 15 to 44, affecting an estimated 1 in 3 women in their lifetime.
How do I know if I have bacterial vaginosis?
One of the most telling features of bacterial vaginosis is an offensive odour (usually described as a fishy smell). It may or may not be accompanied by the presence of discoloured discharge, which may be green, grey or tan. The discharge may also be off-white in colour. Otherwise, patients who suffer from bacterial vaginosis are generally asymptomatic.
What causes bacterial vaginosis?
There is currently inconclusive evidence for a known cause of bacterial vaginosis. However, the condition does occur more frequently in those who are sexually active. Bacterial vaginosis is a result of an imbalance of ‘good’ and ‘harmful’ bacteria in a vagina. As such, anything that may upset the normal balance of vaginal bacteria increases your risk of getting bacterial vaginosis. Some examples include: douching, not using condoms, and having new or multiple sex partners.
Will I get bacterial vaginosis by sitting on a toilet seat?
This is a common misconception about bacterial vaginosis. There is no evidence that any of the following actions contributes to the development of bacterial vaginosis:
- Sitting on a toilet seat
- Touching and/or laying on bedding
- Swimming in a swimming pool
Is bacterial vaginosis the same as a yeast infection?
No. While the symptoms may overlap, the treatment options are different due to the difference in what cases them. The cause of bacterial vaginosis is, as the name suggests, bacteria, which requires a course of antibiotics to kill off. Yeast belongs to a different group of organisms called fungi, which requires an antifungal treatment instead. Do note that antibiotics and antifungal treatments are not interchangeable.
How does bacterial vaginosis treatment over teleconsultation work?
Simply fill in a questionnaire about your symptoms and medical history for our doctors to review prior to any consultation. You will then be able to discuss and/or clarify any concerns that you may have with our doctors during the one-on-one video consultation. Physical examination for bacterial vaginosis diagnosis is generally not required. If appropriate, our doctors will be able to prescribe your treatment and the medications will be delivered to you in a discreet packaging.
