It's been described as one of the great enigmas in women's health.

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) affects 1 in 3 women, is notoriously difficult to treat, and can cause infertility, miscarriage, and neonatal deaths. And under the current recommended treatment, it just keeps coming back.

Until now.

Hop over to our LinkedIn to read all about how @lenkavod and @DrCatBradshaw @MSHCResearch @MonashSTM have overturned years of orthodoxy about what causes this condition and how to treat it, in the latest @NEJM, with links to coverage in @nytimes @CNN @newscientist and more.

Spoiler: yes it's an #STI.

A new paper suggests that stripping the emotive word “cancer” from low-grade #prostatecancer diagnoses would reduce anxiety and unnecessary treatment.
