Basically BV is an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. As you can probably guess, when there are too many bad bacteria you get BV. Sometimes using perfumed soaps/shower gels to wash down there can trigger it off. Other things to avoid doing would be wearing tight underwear that isnt 100% cotton, and you should always wipe from front to back (sorry you probably already know this). Intercourse can sometimes trigger it due to semen being a different PH from the vagina which throws the balance off.you can also get BV for no apparent reason! The pain youre getting is more than likely BV related. It is one of the more uncommon symptoms but women do get it. If youre taking abti biotics and it comes back after a week or so, id reccomend taking pro biotics aswell. BV has a nasty habit of coming back all the time!

In all honesty I didn't have a clue wiping front the back was a thing! And I do use shower gels to wash, least I'm a little further to knowing what has caused this, my doctors are pretty useless!!
Is it normal to have numbness around that area and pain in the back and legs? I can understand the abdominal pain, however I do have polycystic ovaries so I'm a little worried that the two aren't reacting well? I'm sorry to ask so much of you!!
Thanks
