5. Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
This is a disease that will only affect women, and it is the most common genital disease in women below the age of 44. It can be caused by a number of bacteria, including gardnerella vaginalis, but it is not considered to be a sexually transmitted disease.
The vagina naturally has bacteria living inside it. These are usually harmless, and even helpful in some cases. However, an imbalance in the bacteria in the vagina can cause problems. It is not clear why such an imbalance happens, but there are some activities that might encourage it. This includes douching, and promiscuity.
