Thread: Is this bacterial vaginosis?

I have always had excessive vaginal discharge, but every once in a while it's so bad it's distracting. I'll be sitting there and suddenly it feels like my panties are filled, and they are, essentially. It's disgusting.

I was concerned before, but was pacified by all the articles telling me that I was just one of the women who got the lucky set of genetics for more discharge then others. I ran into bacterial vaginosis though, and the nice pictures that google came up with, and it strikes a resemblance. Especially since most women don't know they have it.

However, I've never had any odor. Never had the "characteristic fishy" smell or musky, unless people have a different definition of fishy then I do. No itching or burning, and no irritation as far as I can tell. But I still have that thin, almost milky discharge.

I'm hesitant to go to the doctor, because they make me nervous, and it's expensive--something I can't really afford right now, for something that's merely a nuisance I've had, as far as I can tell, since vaginal discharge existed in my life.

But I am curious if anyone's /not/ had an odor with the infection?
