About Bacterial Vaginosis
BV happens when the usual bacteria in the vagina fall out of balance. Although it is not classed as an STI, it can be associated with sex.
Common Triggers
The vaginal bacteria shift out of balance; a new partner, douching, perfumed products and smoking can contribute.
Signs of Bacterial Vaginosis to Look for
- Mild irritation or itching
- Sometimes no symptoms at all
- A fishy smell, frequently stronger after sex
- Thin grey or white discharge

How Bacterial Vaginosis Is Treated

- Avoid douching and scented soaps or washes
- Wear breathable cotton underwear
- Do not self-treat with thrush medicines if your symptoms differ
