Bacterial vaginosis Like a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis (BV) -- which can be transmitted through sex -- results from an imbalance in the microscopic organisms in your vagina. Many of the same symptoms may be present, such as itching and irritation, but BV often produces a distinctive fishy-smelling discharge and a burning feeling while urinating. Sometimes, however, there are few or no symptoms. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pregnant women with BV are more likely to have babies who are born too small or too soon. For this reason, if you suspect BV, contact a health professional immediately. Your doctor or midwife can help you determine whether you should be tested. If you've had a premature or low birth weight baby in the past, you should also be tested for BV.
The good news is that BV is relatively easy to diagnose and treat. Tests on vaginal fluid will determine whether you have BV, and treatment usually consists of the antibiotics metronidazole or clindamycin, according to the CDC.
