I have been on the websites, and by a fluke looked up discharge, and odor, i'm 100% I have BV. I was even treated for it about a year ago,(doctor didn't really explain, just gave me a prescription for this cream) but had it for about 2 years before that. I always thought it was disgusting, and thought I was alone, now I see it is common. My husband and I didn't know what the heck my problem was. The smell is AWFUL!!(during sex after, even cooking dinner, I can smell it) Sometimes,( I am embarrassed to say) I use a tampon when I am going to be around people, so they can't smell it. I am sooo happy that I NOW know what is going on, I'm gonna make an appt right away. Why does it return? Does my husband need to get treated? I read that it is'nt passed on, but after I got treated, I would make him pull out for a couple of weeks and It didn't come back. I really loved smelling normal!then when he stopped pulling out, it came back again.
