What Is the Most Common Sign or Symptom of Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial vaginosis (BV) occurs when the normal balance of bacteria in a woman’s vagina is disrupted and replaced by an overgrowth of certain bacteria. The main bacterial vaginosis symptom is an abnormal, foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Some women describe it as a fish-like odor that is most noticeable after having sex. Nearly half of the women with bacterial vaginosis, however, have no symptoms.
