Yes, it's generally caused by E. Coli. It is not sexually transmitted unless your boyfriend stuck it in your butt then in your ****. It's generally caused by bacteria getting in your **** by poor hygiene practice. Symptoms vary from a slight musty odor to heavy discharge, itching, and pain depending on the type of bacteria, how long you've had the infection, and how poor your hygiene is, poor being a relative term because it's bad hygiene to scrub yourself with dial soap and super hot water. It dries out your skin and kills all of the good bacteria, thus allowing the bad bacteria to breed and bam, you got vaginosis. They tell you to wipe front to back for a reason, and to not douche or use perfumed soaps for a reason. You get yeast infections and bacterial infections when you abuse your body.
They diagnose it by a culture of your ****, not by the smell. There's too many types of bacteria that could cause it for them to diagnose by smell. If your doctor is diagnosing by smell, it's time to find a competent doctor. Different antibiotics affect different areas of the body and different types of bacteria. Just putting you on Amoxicillin isn't acceptable for any infection, unless it's appropriate for the type of infection.
They generally give you MetroGel these days, too, so only the bacteria being targeted is killed.

hi Erica, To on the present time we nevertheless do no longer know precisely what's the reason for this an infection. at cutting-edge, it seems to be that a mixture of distinctive micro organism could be cutting-edge at the same time for the concern to advance. Bacterial vaginosis (yet another be conscious for bacterial an infection) regularly good factors a help interior the form of the conventional hydrogen peroxide-generating lactobacilli interior the vagina. concurrently, there's a upward push in concentration of different varieties of micro organism, incredibly anaerobic micro organism (micro organism that advance interior the absence of oxygen). as a effect, the analysis and medical care are no longer so elementary as figuring out and removing a single variety of micro organism. Why the micro organism combine to reason the an infection is unknown. 2nd, particular they are able to be gotten smaller via intercourse so i might propose your chum avoids having any sexual intercourse immediately. She could make an appointment with a OB/GYN to take of this situation.

The Symptoms are:
An excessive grayish white vaginal discharge, unlike normal vaginal discharge (1 in 3 women with BV describe the discharge as yellow).6
A bothersome "fishy" odor, which is usually worse after sex.
Women with BV may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women report a strong fish-like odor, especially after intercourse. Discharge, if present, is usually white or gray; it can be thin. Women with BV may also have burning during urination or itching around the outside of the vagina, or both. Some women with BV report no signs or symptoms at all.
