The facts...

Welcome, girlfriends; we’re going to have a straightforward conversation about a vaginal infection that many of us have had to deal with. That infection is bacterial vaginosis, or BV for short. Here are 4 common symptoms and signs of the vaginal infection...

Unusual Vaginal Discharge: BV can cause a thin, grayish-white discharge with a distinct fishy odor. It’s not the most pleasant thing to deal with, but recognizing it early is key to taking action.

Itching and Irritation: BV can sometimes lead to itching or irritation around the vaginal area, making you feel uncomfortable.

Burning Sensation: Some women with BV may experience a burning sensation during urination. It’s not fun, but it’s a common symptom.

Vaginal Odor: The main symptom of BV is a strong, fishy odor, especially noticeable after sex.
