Bacterial Vaginosis Treatment at Murrays Chemist
What is Bacterial Vaginosis?
Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) is a common vaginal infection that occurs when there is an imbalance of bacteria in the vagina. While BV is not classified as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), it can increase the risk of contracting STIs such as chlamydia. BV can be uncomfortable and cause symptoms such as unusual vaginal discharge with a strong fishy smell, itching, and irritation.
Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis
Common symptoms of BV include:
- Thin, watery, grey or white vaginal discharge
- A strong, unpleasant (fishy) odor, especially after sex
- Mild irritation or itching around the vagina
- Burning sensation during urination (in some cases)
Many cases of BV do not cause noticeable symptoms, but it is still important to seek treatment to prevent complications.
Tests We Offer

- N. gonorrhoeae
- Chlamydia Trachomatis
