When bacterial vaginosis infects a woman, a number of symptoms will manifest themselves. One of the most apparent symptoms of this condition is a fishy smell, an intense odor that is associated with the disease. Since the intensity of this odor is overwhelming, it is likely to affect the woman concerned emotionally as the condition will lower her self-esteem.
But it should be understood by the affected woman that the odor is not necessarily due to bad hygiene, although that is one of the causes for bacterial vaginosis to manifest itself, but rather it is the infection which is causing the bad smell.
As mentioned earlier, this smell can cause serious psychological problems to the woman concerned. Because of the bad smell she may suffer from depression and would refuse to socialize with people. At such times we have to reassure the concerned woman that hers is not an isolated case, as many women suffer from this condition. This is a common symptom with a huge number of women suffering from it annually.
The other symptoms of this condition include itching and a burning sensation in the vaginal and vulva region of the affected woman. Though the burning sensation and itching in themselves do not necessarily indicate the vaginosis, these are usually associated with the condition. Sometimes a detailed medical study may be required to arrive at the conclusion that she is suffering from this condition, though when the horrible smell is present along with itching and burning sensation, it is highly indicative of the infection
So can one cure this?
ReplyDeleteYes there are treatments. A course of metronidazole tablets is the common treatment. Metronidazole is an antibiotic and It clears BV in most cases and is very effecitve.
ReplyDeleteMetronidazole vaginal gel or clindamycin vaginal cream placed inside the vagina can be used as an alternative trestment
***One should ALWAYS consult a doctor before treatment. For pregnant women this is an absolute must and also for those who might be on contraceptive pills..as antibiobics interfere with the action of contraceptive pills.
Any more questions please feel free to ask :)

ReplyDeleteHey saratu im really glad you love the blog..do visit often :)
ReplyDeleteNO you dont always get fishy smells with VB...although the smell depends on severity of the infection...infact a few women have it but dont have a clue. it is characterised by an off white- grey colour.
a normal discharge should be egg white and not too thick. Typically, it doesn't have an odor, might have a slight scent. It should not, however, smell pungent; nor should it be another colour, such as green or yellow.
its mostly thick( can be fluid too)..but if its too thick (or flowing with copious amounts of fluids), itching with a burning sensation then its probably thrush.
hope that helps :)
