How serious is an infection like Bacteria Vaginosis? How long is too long to go without treatment?
I am soooooooo nervous that I have Bacterial Vaginosis. I’ve noticed the smell I would say sometime last week, but I figured I just need to shave until I saw the white milky discharge.
The smell has went away a bit but the discharge is still there. I notice it at least once a day and it looks like skim milk (almost clear, a cloudy white), and isn’t heavy.
I won’t be able to get an appiontment until 11 days from now…. should I be worried? Should I get an earlier appointment? Is it anything I can do now to keep it under control?
I’ve looked and see that cervititis has similar symptoms, so I am very nervous, scared and worried…. Can I wait a week or do I need an emergency appointment?
I only have one sex partner, so I really don’t understand this issue…..

I have had several bouts with bacteria vaginosis and you are describing it perfectly. Get it treated ASAP because it is uncomfortable and if not treated early it can cause long term problems. But if your appt. is 11 days from now you should be fine. If you can wait that long. And please remember that shaving or not shaving has nothing to do with vaginal odor. Some odor is normal but strong, pungent odors are not normal. And it is important to refrain from sex until you get treated. Best of luck!
Its really no biggie, most women get it at least once in their life time similar to a yeast infection. I have had one as well and it went away a day or two after I started to take the anti-biotics…As long as you get it treated early there are no risks…causes are pretty obvious, bacteria in the vagina, most likely from a penis, even more likely from an uncircumsized penis…You’ll be alright and have ur sexual partner clean up before hand…Good Luck!
you will be fine rememeber it is not an std,but you need to look out for what could be cuasing it,the soap you use like for me when I take a bath I wash with a nice smelling soap then for my vagina I use a baby soap,mens semen,medications,what happens the ph in your vagina has been thrown off so it cuases BV you can wait for the appt its just thats it very annoying.Its not your fualt your not dirty or is your bf cheating ,try eating lots of yogurt and take a pill from gnc probiotic aciddophilus
