BV or Thrush?
I was wandering if anybody would be able to help me.
I have had bacterial vaginosis in the past and was given antibiotics and it went away. Recently I noticed that the symptoms had come back so I went to the drs and she took a swab and apparently It came back as thrush. It didn't seem like thrush and I took the thrush medication but the BV symptoms are still there ???
Do you think I should go back to the doctors and ask them to re test me for BV or would something else be causing me to have a fishy odour down there?
I don't have any discharge just an odour. What do I do?

Well, the hallmark sign of bv is the bad odor which you say you don't have which makes me think they are accurate in saying that this is not your diagnosis this time around. Yes, go back to the doctor though. Are you taking probiotics as well as thrush medicine?
