What Are The Symptoms Of Bacterial Vaginosis?

I want to know what I may have that causes my discharge to sometimes come out with a red light color and also my discharge has an odor with a yellowish color when not with red color. I searched up my symptoms and I thought I may have bacterial vaginosis but I dont have all the symptoms that bacterial vaginosis requires. I was wondering what I may have?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Bacterial vaginosis (BV)is normally associated with a white grey discharge with a fishy odor.

The discharge that you are experiencing is not likely BV based on your description.

Red discharge may indicate that there is blood present in the discharge.
The most common reason for a yellow discharge is a yeast infection.

You may want to consider visiting your doctor for an examination and vaginal swab to definitively determine the source of the infection.

Appropriate treatment can then be started.

I hope this helps
