How are the symptoms of a yeast infection different from symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis?
Although yeast infections of the vagina are probably the most familiar form of vaginitis to women, they are actually much less common than Bacterial Vaginosis. In fact, BV is the most common vaginal infection in women of childbearing age. Is it caused by an overgrowth of bacteria that are usually present in the vagina. If you have BV, you may develop a grayish-white, foul-smelling discharge that has an elevated pH above 4.5. The odor, often described as fish-like, may be more obvious after sexual intercourse or your period.
