Bacterial Vaginosis

Also known as BV, bacterial vaginosis is a condition that affects 16-percent of all women of childbearing age. The common symptoms include itching and burning around the labia and vulva, paired with a foul, fishy odor and thick, gray discharge. Bacterial vaginosis is most often confused as a yeast infection, but the odor and burning is different.
