I’ll be honest—I never expected to deal with something like bacterial vaginosis in my 50s. Like many women, I assumed it was something younger folks had to think about. Turns out, I was wrong. A subtle change in how things felt and a persistent, slightly off smell prompted a conversation with my doctor. That’s when…
So, you’re wondering: what age does BV usually start? It’s a question that more people—especially women—should be asking openly, but it’s often met with silence, confusion, or worse, misinformation.

Bacterial vaginosis—ugh, I remember the first time I had to Google it. That awkward search, trying to find answers without panicking. If you’re here wondering, can bacterial vaginosis clear up on its own?, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been there, and so have millions of women silently dealing with it, often unsure whether to rush…
If you’ve ever dealt with that weird, fishy odor or unexplained discharge and then realized your choice of underwear might be playing a role… yeah, I’ve been there too.
