Bacterial Vaginosis Symptoms (In particular)

The main symptom of Bacterial Vaginosis is an abnormal, foul-smelling vaginal discharge.

Some women describe it as a fish-like or a musty odor that is most noticeable after having sex.
Itching in and around the vagina.
Majority of the women with signs of bacterial vaginosis, however, have no symptoms.

Other symptoms may include:

A homogenous, greyish white, sticky discharge from the vagina

There is an increased risk of premature labor in pregnant women.
There is an increased risk of bacterial vaginosis after menopause as there is associated diabetes.(2)

Upon entering the Menopause stage, I found myself with reoccuring Bacterial Vaginosis. I took antibotics for over a years off and on and it still came back. Then I remembered that years ago a doctor recommended Betidine douche for a bacterial infection. I HIGHLY recommend you try it.
