The NHS states the following with regards to bacterial vaginosis:
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common cause of unusual vaginal discharge. BV is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI), but it can increase your risk of getting an STI such as chlamydia.
BV is not a serious condition. Bacterial vaginosis is usually treated with oral antibiotics, gels or creams if symptoms are present. If you keep getting it (you get it more than 4 times in a year), you may be given an antibiotic gel that you put in your vagina. You may need to use this for a few months to help stop bacterial vaginosis coming back. Your GP will recommend how long you need to treat it.
