The Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis
There
are cases wherein Bacterial Vaginosis does not have any accompanying symptoms
except vaginal discharge. This makes it very important for anyone to see a
doctor if their discharge is more than the usual.
Having
said this, the most common symptoms of BV are:
·
Vaginal discharge
·
Fish like odor or foul smell
·
Itching
·
Burning sensation
·
Feeling of being unclean
The
vaginal discharge is characterized by more than the normal discharge. Since
women have different amount of discharge, you can basically tell if you are
having more than your normal discharge. The feeling of being unclean is caused
by the discharge.
The
symptoms of itching and burning sensation can be very uncomfortable. This makes
many women seek professional help when they have BV. If you are already
suffering from mild itchiness, you should then consult a doctor immediately
before it gets worse.
The
foul smell is a cause of great embarrassment to many. Many women avoid social
gatherings because of the odor. Again, before it gets worse, consult your
doctor.
A
lot of women do not seek professional help because the symptoms are tolerable.
Some are shy for various reasons, such as being shy about the odor or being shy
because they believe that the doctor may think that it is related with sex. What
you have to remember is that there is life beyond Bacterial Vaginosi. Getting
yourself diagnosed and getting treatment is a lot easier than suffering from
the symptoms, however mild and tolerable they are.
