What are the Risk Factors for Gardnerella Vaginalis?
Several factors can increase the risk of developing a Gardnerella vaginalis infection. These include having multiple sexual partners, douching, using an intrauterine device (IUD), and engaging in unprotected sex. Hormonal changes due to pregnancy or menopause can also affect the vaginal flora, potentially leading to an overgrowth of Gardnerella vaginalis.
