Is bv a STI?

No, and yes.Bacterial Vaginosis is an overgrowth in harmful bacteria in the vagina, it doesn't require sexual contact to contract Bacterial Vaginosis as it can occur whenever vaginal pH or flora is out of balance. Sex can however increase risks of Bacterial Vaginosis by introducing bacteria into the vagina and changing pH. Bacterial infections can be passed between partners, so although a male may not have the symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis they can end-up with a bacterial infection from their partner.

What is the difference between bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection?

Bacterial vaginosis and yeast infection are both the results of imbalances in the normal flora of the vagina. A yeast infection involves an overgrowth of candida and related species. Odor is not a huge complaint of women with yeast. Symptoms may include redness and discomfort. The vaginal pH is normal. In contrast, bacterial vaginosis is a death of the protective bacteria in the vagina. Odor is a common complaint, but inflammation and irritation are not. The vaginal pH is usually higher than normal.

Why am i having discharge on the depo shot?

During menstruation it is easier for you to develop a vaginal infection such as Bacterial Vaginosis because the vagina is naturally acidic to maintain healthy vaginal flora, but blood makes the vagina less acidic. Menstrual products make a huge difference, tampons are hailed as more hygienic than pads but are actually less hygienic as they keep flow in the vagina which changes vaginal pH and gives bacteria the perfect place to multiply while preventing vaginal cleaning, commercial pads are also problematic because they make genitals warm/moist so perfect for bacterial growth. It may be a temporary imbalance in vaginal flora but if the bad odour continues it may be a sign you have Bacterial Vaginosis, you should see your doctor for tests and treatment.
