Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Eligible patients will be premenopausal, non-pregnant women presenting with a chief
complaint of vaginal itch, malodor, discharge, pain, irritation or rash. We will
accept patient history of being pre-menopausal as valid.

Exclusion Criteria:

- We will exclude women over 45 who have undergone hysterectomy. We will exclude
patients who cannot be reached by phone for follow-up interviews. We will exclude
pregnant women because of concerns that the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial
vaginosis plays a role in pre-term labor prevention.
