What are the clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?

We know that the emergence of gynecological diseases has brought serious harm to women and affected their normal life. I believe that the majority of female friends are familiar with bacterial vaginosis. Here we will introduce in detail the main symptoms of bacterial vaginosis.

1. Vaginal discharge is grayish white, very sticky, even like paste, and uniform, but it is not purulent, and the amount is uncertain.

2. The secretion has a particularly high amine content, so it has a fishy smell. During sexual intercourse or after activity, the smell is often aggravated due to the release of amines. Adding 10% potassium hydroxide to the secretion can also release the amine smell.

3. The pH value in vaginal secretions increases, with a pH range of 5.0-5.5, while the normal pH is 4.5-4.7.

4. Clue cells can be detected in wet smears of vaginal secretions.

5. A small number of people with concurrent Trichomonas or Candida infection may experience vulvar itching, vaginal burning sensation, or pain during sexual intercourse.
