AI overview
Bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection that occurs when bacteria that normally live in the vagina grow too much and throw off the natural balance. It's a common condition that can cause uncomfortable symptoms like unusual discharge and odor, and it matters because it can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy and make someone more vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections.
