The cause of Bacterial Vaginosis is not fully understood. Basically, BV is associated with an imbalance between the good and bad bacteria in the vagina. When the bad bacteria like Gardnerella and anaerobic bacteria overgrow to an unhealthy state. When this happens the good bacteria in your vagina, Lactobacilli, is outnumbered and therefore cannot do its regular job of keeping the bad bacteria in check.

Bacterial vaginosis is not a true sexually transmitted disease but it is more common in women with multiple sex partners, though it can also happen to non sexually active women and virgins. Other causes of Bacterial Vaginitis are:

• Improper Douching - which is douching at least once a month and using a store bought perfumed douche or one that contains extra chemicals. Natural douches that contain just Vinegar and water or antiseptic or iodine based douches are okay.
• Vaginal Hygiene Products - like deodorants, perfumes, scented tampons, antibacterial or alcohol wipes. These products either promote the growth of bad bacteria or kill the good bacteria.
• Antibiotics- antibiotics kill both the good and bad bacteria and since they are so prominent in our society they are one of the most common causes. Also, although antibiotics will initially cure BV, the bad bacteria can regain a stronghold since you have also killed off the good bacteria.
• Sexual Aides - like spermicides, unclean sex toys and sexual enhancement products that contain sugar or chemicals can all promote bad bacteria growth.
• Detergents and Fabric Softeners - Many detergents and fabric softeners, especially the perfumed ones contain chemicals that can promote bad bacteria growth. Use natural and unscented detergents and softeners preferably.
• Tight Clothing - Tight clothing does not allow air to circulate in the vagina which prevents moisture from escaping.
• STD's - The presence of an STD can increases the risk of BV. Up to 64% of women with STD's also have BV.
• Hormonal Changes - caused by stress, menstruation, pregnancy and birth control pills may also play a role in causing BV
