Patient's question:
Six months after giving birth, my leukorrhea has increased significantly, and it has strong a odor, which makes me feel very embarrassed. I haven't dared to go out in crowds. I went to the gynecology department for a check-up and found out that I have bacterial vaginosis. What are the symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Bacterial vaginosis is primarily a type of vaginitis caused by Gardnerella vaginalis and can be transmitted through sexual contact. Symptoms include a significant increase in abnormal vaginal discharge, which is thin, homogeneous, or mucous-like, appearing grayish-white, grayish-yellow, or creamy-yellow, with a distinctive fishy odor.
