How Do I Know if I Have BV? (Bacterial Vaginosis Diagnosis)
You can pretty much conclude you have bacterial vaginosis if you possess any of the following bacterial vaginosis symptoms:
- Fishy vaginal odor
- Grayish colored vaginal discharge
- Excessive vaginal discharge with pungent odor
More Severe Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis Include:
- Increased susceptibility to HIV if exposed to the HIV virus
- Increased chance of passing HIV to her sex partner if infected
- Pregnancy complications, resulting in preterm delivery
- Increased susceptibility to STDs
If left untreated, symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis can cause PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease), which is a disease where the uterus, fallopian tubes and other reproductive organs become infected. PID can damage a woman’s reproductive system, causing chronic pelvic pain. Untreated bacterial vaginosis symptoms can also cause endometritis, cervicitis and post-operative infections.
When to See a Doctor:
Sometimes bacterial vaginosis symptoms go away on their own, but there are lingering symptoms of bacterial vaginosis that mean you should see a doctor immediately, to get a clear bacterial vaginosis diagnosis. If your discharge changes color to green or yellow, or the scent of your vagina changes suddenly, these are reasons to see your health care professional immediately, so you can either get a bacterial vaginosis diagnosis or confirmation that you may have a condition other than BV.
