Question

Hey ladies I have a quick question- 
Have any of you had Bacterial Vaginosis? I think I have it. My symptoms are: abnormal discharge color (it doesn’t smell bad but almost has a acidic smell), and skin irritation which I assume is from the abnormal discharge. I took a Walgreens home screening test to see if my PH was normal and it isn’t.  Does this sound like BV?

Answer

Might be thrush I keep having it quite often unfortunately :( I'm prone to that but it's easy to deal with - go and get cream and there's a pill you take and it deals with in in 24 or 48 hrs :) x

Answer

Bv is weird sometimes it throws off your pH and other times it doesn’t. For me sometimes when I have it there were be an off odor but it’s never been “fishy” one of my main symptoms I get every time I have it is that sex becomes uncomfortable and causes my cervix to become really sore and I get a burning sensation in my vagina. I never usually have any color change in my discharge- usually just thin, watery and white. 
Bv is tricky because synonyms can vary greatly from person to person! If you think you may have it I recommend seeing your OB to be swabbed. There are around 6 different bacteria’s that cause BV. Only 6 of those bacteria’s can be cured with Metro gel / pill. So I recommend seeing your doctor to make sure you get prescribed the right meds :)
