I went to my obgyn for my annual exam and also for infertility, and my pap showed I have bacterial vaginosis. What exactly is it, and is it serious? He did prescribe antibiotics, I was just curious how common this is and what the cause is, and if there are ways to prevent it from returning. Thanks ladies and baby dust for all of you!

Its pretty common. Their is always good bacteria in your vagina but if you get to much of it then you can get an infection. Not sure how it happens but its normal and easy to cure.
Even virgins can get BV. Its a bacteria that is transmitted, from unwashed hands or any other way people get diseases.
bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection where there is an accumulation of bacteria.. harmful one.. in the vagina. it is usually accompanied by a foul odor and no to little discharge. the discharge if there is any usually looks like a yeast infection without any discolouration to it. if left unchecked it can cause embarrassing problems. normal treatment is a stat dose of antibiotics and or a vaginal cream to insert. how u get it: poor Hygiene ( not wiping properly, sweating after having a bowel movement and leakage occurs.. anal to vagina and vice versa sex…. u get the idea)
as for ur chances of conceiving it will not affect them, but when treating with meds please ask ur pharmacist or doctor for meds such as flagyl that will not harm an unborn fetus( u r ttc n may b preg n not know it yet )
good luck.
tons of baby dust to u n everyone
