I had some swabs done for an STD because i had yellow discharge(gross i know) i had a lot of it, and the tests came back negative for an STD but positive for BV. Is the yellow discharge caused by BV? And does it damage any of the female parts(baby making parts)? Serious answers please!
Also, does BV give you any pain in your pelvis area?

DONT listen to the first answer. Bacterial vaginosis is perfectly normal, some women get it frequently. Bacterial vaginosis is vaginal condition that can produce vaginal discharge and results from an overgrowth of normal bacteria in the vagina. So yes, the yellow discharge was from the infection, yellow discharge CAN be a sign of an STD, but you were tested, so that wasn’t the cause. Bacterial vaginosis is not dangerous, but it can cause disturbing symptoms. The amount of vaginal discharge that is considered normal varies from woman to woman. Therefore, any degree of vaginal discharge that is abnormal for a particular woman should be evaluated.Many women with bacterial vaginosis actually have no symptoms at all. Others experience an unpleasant fishy odor with vaginal discharge. The discharge is usually thin and grayish white. The discharge is often more noticeable after sexual intercourse.
Most of the time, a doctor will prescribe some anti-biotics to clear it up, but most won’t, because it’s likely that they will just give you a yeast infection. Bacterial Vaginosis will clear up on it’s own naturally.
And no, Bacterial Vaginosis will not cause any long-term effects on the vagina or uterus. However, if you have the infection while you are pregnant. In pregnancy, bacterial vaginosis can cause premature labor, premature birth, infection of the amniotic fluid, and infection of the uterus after delivery. However, treatment of bacterial vaginosis in pregnancy has not been shown decrease the incidence of premature births in most studies.
