Coming soonBacterial vaginosis is a common dysbiosis of the lower female genital tract, predominantly affecting reproductive-aged females.
It is pathophysiologically characterized by a marked depletion of protective, hydrogen peroxide–producing *Lactobacillus* species and a concurrent polymicrobial overgrowth of facultative and obligate anaerobic organisms, such as *Gardnerella vaginalis*, *Atopobium vaginae*, and *Prevotella* species.
Clinically, affected patients often present with an elevated vaginal pH above 4.5, clue cells on wet mount microscopy, and an off-white or grayish, homogeneous, thin vaginal discharge accompanied by a characteristic amine or "fishy" odor.
Although frequently asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic, the condition increases susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections and is associated with adverse gynecologic and obstetric outcomes, including pelvic inflammatory disease and preterm birth.
