- Though researchers haven’t identified the cause of BV, those who are sexually active with different partners, have an IUD, or use products with a scent around the vagina.
- To diagnose BV, a practitioner will collect the patient’s discharge and test for the condition.
- Treatments for bacterial vaginosis are antibiotics.
