BV vs Yeast Infection: what’s the difference?

2025-12-015 min read

If you’re dealing with discharge, odour, itching, or recurring discomfort, it’s easy to feel unsure about what’s going on.

BV (bacterial vaginosis) is often linked with a higher vaginal pH and a shift away from protective lactobacilli.

Yeast infections are typically associated with fungal overgrowth and may present with thick discharge and itching.

If symptoms are severe, persistent, or you’re pregnant, always seek advice from a qualified clinician.
