What Are The Signs and Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis usually occurs with very obvious signs and symptoms for most women.

There are some rare cases where the women did not develop any signs and symptoms and only to have it detected during her annual checkup at the ob-gyn. If you don’t give the ob-gyn a visit at least once annually, it is time to start doing so.

Some of the most common bacterial vaginosis signs and symptoms include :

• Foul and fishy vaginal odor. This usually gets worse right after a sexual intercourse. You can see it from your partner’s facial expression if you don’t smell it yourself. (Further Reading : Are You Ashamed of The Fishy Odor Down There?)
• Burning and itching sensation around the outside of the vagina. (Further Reading : Cope With Irritations Caused By Bacterial Vaginosis With These 5 Simple Ways)
• Grayish or white vaginal discharge which are more than normal.

It is important to take note that all the symptoms above can happen at the same time.
