Although many women have never heard of it, BV is the most common disorder of the vagina. Many women will develop BV at some point in their lives, and about half of the women who visit their health care provider because of a vaginal discharge have it. Women of color appear to have a slightly higher risk of BV for unknown reasons.

A woman does not get BV from sexual contact with an infected male partner, but women who are sexually active, particularly women with multiple partners or new partners, are more likely to have the infection. Women who have sex with other women may transmit the bacteria that cause BV back and forth, especially if they share sex toys. Women who have never been sexually active and women in stable relationships can develop BV, as can women who have not had sex for a long period. BV also appears to occur more often in women who have other genital infections (such as chlamydia), women who douche (douching disrupts the normal bacterial population and allows the “bad bacteria” to overgrow), and women who use an intrauterine device (IUD) as a birth control method.
