A member asked:

Can a gyne diagnose you w/ bv correctly just by vag exam and seeing the discharges in your cervix? could she tell if theres something else not right?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: BV, or bacterial vaginosis, has a certain look (white-gray discharge) and a fishy smell to it. It is an overgrowth of the normal bacteria in the vagina. A lab test can verify it, and it is easily treated with antibiotics.
