Does bacterial vaginosis cause abdominal pain?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing some itching downstairs recently, and my body feels very weak. Does bacterial vaginosis cause abdominal pain?

Doctor's answer:

Bacterial vaginosis will never cause symptoms of abdominal pain. Generally, bacterial vaginosis has symptoms such as itching of the external genitalia, abnormal vaginal discharge, and a fishy odor. Confirmation of bacterial vaginosis can be made through a careful examination of the discharge. If it is bacterial vaginosis, it can be treated with a liquid solution and suppositories. Observe for about a week to see if the symptoms are relieved. Note: Re-examine the discharge after the menstrual period is clean.
