Gardnerella Infection (Bacterial Vaginosis)

Something is off — and you feel it before you can name it. The changed smell, the discharge, the feeling that your body is producing something that doesn't belong to you. Bacterial vaginosis arises when the natural balance of the vaginal flora tips: protective lactic acid bacteria are displaced by Gardnerella and other microorganisms, the environment shifts, the body reacts.

Medically this is well documented. Antibiotics help, often short-term. But many women know the pattern: the infection comes back. And back again. As though the body is making a statement that isn't being heard.

The psychosomatic question is not: why do I have these bacteria? But rather: why does my body allow its inner balance to tip — in precisely the place where intimacy, femininity, and vulnerability converge? The answer goes deeper than any laboratory analysis.
