About Bacterial Vaginosis
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a frequent vaginal condition that arises when the natural balance of bacteria shifts. It is not classed as a sexually transmitted infection, although it can be linked to sexual activity.
Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Thin grey or white discharge
- Mild irritation or itching
- A fishy smell, often stronger after sex
Care and Treatment for Bacterial Vaginosis
After a confidential discussion the physician can prescribe treatment if BV seems likely, or recommend an examination or swab if the picture is uncertain. Typical choices are antibiotic tablets or vaginal gels such as metronidazole or clindamycin.
- Avoid douching and scented soaps or washes
- Wear breathable cotton underwear
- Do not self-treat with thrush medicines if your symptoms differ
- Change out of wet swimwear promptly
