4. Redness
Itching isn’t the only uncomfortable symptom that can be associated with bacterial vaginosis infections. Due to the fact that it’s a routine bacterial infection, it can also cause other symptoms such as discomfort and redness – and this can also sadly be true of a range of other medical conditions out there.
How are you supposed to know which of the medical conditions you really have when the symptoms of several can be so closely related? The best – and really only – way is to make an appointment with your doctor for the proper tests.
Where it’s bacterial vaginosis, it’s easy to treat with some simple adaptations to your health and possibly a course of antibiotics – other times where it’s not caused by BV, other types of antibiotics can also usually help. If it is BV and it keeps recurring for some reason, try to find the cause by eliminating several factors like fabric and washing powder.
