3. Bladder or Urinary Tract Infections
Bacterial vaginosis doesn’t just show itself with obvious symptoms like vaginal discharge or an unpleasant odor that might go with it. The bacterial vaginosis might also trigger other infections and conditions in the body – especially if it’s left untreated for longer than it should be.
Bladder and urinary tract infections can also go together with bacterial vaginosis: If you experience difficulty and pain while urinating or having sex, then it could signal that you have either of these infections – and you might also have bacterial vaginosis if you experience it together with some of the other symptoms that are mentioned on this list.
If you experience repeated bladder or urinary tract infections, it might be due to repeated bacterial vaginosis, or could also be due to underlying allergies to fabrics or washing powder. See your doctor for any symptoms or signs that recur, then you can work on finding and treating the underlying cause.
