What are the early symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?

Bacterial vaginosis is a common gynecological disease. Its occurrence seriously harms everyone's body and brings considerable harm to patients. In order to avoid the harm of the disease, everyone needs to correctly understand the disease and carry out correct treatment. So what are the clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis?

1. The pH value is higher than normal, reaching 5.0-5.5. Since alkaline prostatic fluid can cause the release of amines, the odor will increase during or after sexual intercourse. The pH value of the vagina increases during menstruation, so the odor may also increase during or after menstruation.

2. Leucorrhea is gray or gray-green, homogeneous, and has a paste-like consistency, with many bubbles. The typical clinical symptoms of this disease are a significant increase in abnormal vaginal secretions, which are thin, homogeneous or thin, and are grayish white, grayish yellow or milky yellow with a special fishy odor.

3. There is a rotten fish-like odor. Since alkaline prostatic fluid can cause the release of amines, the odor will worsen during or after sexual intercourse. The pH value of the vagina increases during menstruation, so the odor may also worsen during or after menstruation.

4. A small number of patients with combined Trichomonas or Candida infection may experience vulvar itching, vaginal burning sensation or sexual intercourse pain. A very small number of patients experience lower abdominal pain, sexual intercourse difficulties and abnormal urination. The vaginal mucosal epithelium does not show obvious congestion at the onset of the disease.

This disease can often be combined with other vaginal sexually transmitted diseases, so its clinical manifestations may be affected by the complications. For example, when combined with gonococcal infection, vaginal discharge may be obviously purulent and urinary tract irritation symptoms such as urinary pain and dysuria may occur; when combined with Trichomonas infection, foamy vaginal discharge may appear and itching may intensify, becoming extremely itchy; when combined with Candida infection, vaginal discharge may appear curd-like or tofu-like.

We must understand the clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, because bacterial vaginitis is very harmful. If we want to completely reduce the occurrence of the disease, we need to correctly understand the clinical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis, because symptomatic treatment of the disease can achieve better results.
