- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes. - Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): An imbalance in the natural bacteria found in the vagina. - Yeast Infections: Overgrowth of the fungus Candida. - Poor hygiene: Unclean practices can introduce harmful bacteria. - Hormonal changes: Menopause, pregnancy, and menstrual cycles can affect the vaginal flora.
