Hi and thanks for using the forum.

Bacterial Vaginosis occurs when the normal balance of vaginal bacteria is disrupted and causes an overgrowth of bacteria.  It is typically treated with two different antibiotics.  If left untreated, the infection can clear up on it's own, however it can cause complications such as increased susceptibility to STD's, and preterm delivery in women that are pregnant.  I don't know of any home remedies for bv.  Hope this helps.
