Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is one of the leading causes of vaginal odor. This odor may become more pronounced after having intercourse and often has a fishy vaginal odor. The odor may also become more pronounced during a woman’s period.

Nearly half of all women with BV don’t notice any symptoms such as foul odor, itchiness, unusual discharge or burning sensations around the vaginal region. These general symptoms are obviously easily confused with something like a yeast infection.

Bacteria vaginosis isn’t some disease you catch from someone else, even though it is more common in women who are sexually active, it also occurs in women who are not sexually active.

If present during pelvic surgery or invasive vaginal procedures, bacteria vaginosis makes the reproductive tract vulnerable to infection or inflammation, which has been linked to such problems as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and can cause serious problems with future attempts at pregnancies.

You can also run the higher risk of getting an STD or sexually transmitted disease more easily after having had BV. STD such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV become more likely to gain a foothold within the body for unknown reasons.
