BIOGRAPHY
Bacterial vaginosis is a common cause of vaginal complaints, mainly of odor and discharge in women of reproductive age. BV is poorly understood and recurrence is frequent. More questions than answers remain, but new molecular studies are beginning to provide some additional insights into this condition which could in the future lead to better management strategies. This presentation will discuss new insights into BV based primarily on microbiome-related research.
