Discharge: Not all discharge is abnormal. This might just be your normal discharge. BV is usually more likely to be grey or yellow and fishy. Your doctor can do a more specific test for BV called a sure swab. It is fairly expensive for uninsured patients, so confirm what your out of pocket costs may be for this test.
