Bacterial vaginosis is condition in which abnormal vaginal discharge can cause. Due to this sexually transmitted diseases are causing in the women. In the bacterial vaginosis there is an imbalance in the vaginal acidity the pH becomes more than 5 the bacteria becomes overgrowth and due to this bacterial infection or bacterial vaginosis leads [1].
 Objective: 1: To assess the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among women. 2: To find out the association between prevalence of bacterial vaginosis among women with socio-demographic variable.
 Materials and Methods: Research Approach- Quantitative research approach. Research Design: Cross sectional survey design. Setting of the Study: The study was conducted at rural hospital and primary health centre. Population: women Sampling technique: non-probability convenient sampling technique. Sample size: 115.

Hence the all findings were describes there was no association between socio demographic variables and prevalence of bacterial vaginosis is 6.1%. Conclusion In this study the finding of the study shows that overall there was n association between bacterial vaginosis and demographic variables. The prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was 6.1% in the present study which was relatively low. However it vaginosis was common among sexually active women. The test was done by pap smear test which gave exact result and interpretation of test.
