Thread: Does BV always have a fishy odor

Do u know u suffer from it due to actual testing? If it itches occasionally it may be cronic thrush which I had when I was taking loette (mini pill) but it was after taking it for a few years. As soon as I stopped it was gone. I'm pretty sure BV and gardenella can be treated with anti-biotics. I got it earlier this year as some cotton from a tampon stayed inside me and it grew around that. Gross I know. It smelled pretty fishy. U could just have a ph balance issue called "hostile vaginal mucus" which is caused by bad diet and not enough water. It can be almost as uncomfortable as thrush esp when u have sex as it causes too much friction. It just presents as very thick white discharge but not nessesarily in massive amounts like some cases of thrush. U need to go to the doctor and have a pap smear and a few scrapes will b sent off and they'll tell u exactly what is growing in there. Blood tests are handy too incase it's an sti.

Sorry to go off subject a bit. If your sure it's BV it can be treated very easily with anti-biotite but u need to look at what could be making it reoccur like perhaps your methods of contraception or the type of tampons u use. Have u been to the dr? I know how it feels to have somthing like that chronically I'm sure my thrush era was riddled with at least ten cases of BV or gardenella
