What are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

Up to 84% of people with bacterial vaginosis (BV) don’t have symptoms. If you do, you may have:

  • Off-white, grey or greenish color vaginal discharge (fluid).
  • Discharge that smells "fishy."
  • "Fishy" smell that is strongest after sex or during the menstrual cycle.
  • Rarely, an itchy or sore vagina.

BV symptoms are similar to other infections. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to determine if what you have is BV or another vaginal infection.
