The primary symptom of BV is
an abnormal, odorous
vaginal
discharge. The
fish-like odor is noticeable especially after intercourse. Nearly
half of the women with clinical signs of BV, however, report no
symptoms. A physician may observe these signs during a physical
examination and may confirm the diagnosis by doing tests of vaginal
fluid.
