Bacterial vaginosis explained
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a frequent vaginal condition that arises when the natural balance of bacteria shifts. It is not counted as a sexually transmitted infection, though sexual activity can be linked to it.
Symptoms of bacterial vaginosis
- A fishy smell, often stronger after sex
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- Mild irritation or itching
- Thin grey or white discharge
Causes and risk factors
The vaginal bacteria shift out of balance; a new partner, douching, perfumed products and smoking can contribute.
