Bacterial Vaginosis is just an overgrowth of the normal bacteria in the vagina. It is usually only treated when it causes symptoms. It is more common after sex because semen, lubricant and others things that might be used during sex can throw off the bacteral balance in the vagina. Symptoms of BV are a thin grey discharge that smells fishy.
Vaginal irritation during or after sex is one of the symptoms.
"How is it more apparent" ? It agitates the smell . Sorta like stirring a pot of soup. Yum.
