Women with BV often
have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women
report a strong fish-like odor, especially after intercourse. The
discharge is usually white or gray; it can be thin. Women with BV may also
have burning during urination or itching around the outside of the vagina,
or both. Some women with BV report no signs or symptoms at
all. (Source: excerpt from Bacterial Vaginosis (BV): DSTD)
