Vaginal Discharge
A thin vaginal discharge with a fishy odor may be a sign of bacterial vaginosis. The discharge may be white, green or gray. This bacterial infection may arise when the normally present, healthy bacteria proliferate due to a pH imbalance in the vagina. Douching or using vaginal deodorants are possible causes of bacterial vaginosis.
Oral or intravaginal antibiotics address bacterial vaginosis. Probiotics may be helpful for managing recurring cases of this bacterial infection.2‘What Is Bacterial Vaginosis?: Symptoms, Signs and Causes.’ Planned Parenthood, www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/health-and-wellness/vaginitis/what-bacterial-vaginosis
