BV generally occurs as a consequence of a disturbance in the vaginal flora resulting in an increase in pH associated with overgrowth of Gardnerella vaginalis and the other anaerobic species together with a reduction in lactobacilli. Symptomatic patients can be treated with metronidazole. Ridley's The Vulva, Fourth Edition RelatedInformation
