A GP guide to treating bacterial vaginosis
Despite being the most common vaginal condition among reproductive-aged women, new treatment approaches are still needed to improve a sustained cure
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is the most common vaginal condition affecting reproductive-aged women, with accompanying symptoms in at least 50% of women, including a profuse thin milky vaginal discharge and a fishy-odour.
Worldwide, BV affects approximately 30% of women.1
Limited Australian population estimates suggest the condition affects more than 12% of women, with estimates as high as 30% among women with female sexual partners or who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.2-4
