A member asked:

Does bread and sugars tend the growth of bacteria in vagina that makes it has vaginal odor and itch in vagina?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BV: No... Breads and sugars contribute to yeast infections but not bacterial vaginosis. If there is odor and pain, i highly suggest you see a physician to check for BV (and treat it) and if necessary, check for stds as well hope that helps.
