Bacterial Vaginosis (also known as BV) is a common vaginal condition, caused by 
gardnerella vaginalisβ:sparkles:, the most common type of bacteria in your vagina. β

Approximately 50% of BV-havers are asymptomatic (no symptoms, baby 
) and might not even know they have it, but BV often causes strong think fishy-smelling, often watery vaginal discharge. Youβre just going to have to follow your nose with this oneβ¦ (sorry).
