Foul-smelling, watery, milk white vaginal discharge, with itching and burning sensation around the vaginal region, are a few of the symptoms. These are caused, when there is a bacterial imbalance within the vagina
Many factors are said to contribute to this condition, such as having multiple sex partners, having unprotected sex, douching, etc.
Antibiotic treatment is the therapy of choice, which can result in a complete cure
