Bacterial Vaginosis
By Dylan Land Sean Jackson
Bacterial vaginosis is when a women’s vagina has an overload of bacteria and it gets unbalanced. It
causes the vagina to go blue or get discolored. Some other symptoms include odor, pain, itching,
discharge and burning. It is one of the most common infection in women. This can start at a
“childbearing” age. Bacterial vaginosis is a STD.
