You're not alone and you don’t need to suffer in silence.
While it’s not considered a sexually transmitted infection, BV is linked to sexual activity, pH imbalance, and disruptions to the vaginal microbiome.
BV Symptoms to Watch For:
Unusual discharge (often thin, grey, or watery)
A strong, fishy odour - especially after sex
Mild vaginal irritation or itching
Light burning when urinating
Some people experience no symptoms at all, while others find BV persistent or recurring.
Over-the-Counter Products for BV
Many turn to vaginal care products that are pH-balanced and microbiome-friendly to help support their recovery and prevent future imbalance.
