Gardnerella is a common bacterial vaginal infection. Women can get it whether they are sexually active or not. It's not an STD that men can give to women, but women can give it to other women via sexual intercourse or even infected sex toys. It's common in pregnant women.

You have got a fishy smell vaginal discharge What is wrong with you?

If your vulva smells fishy, it is almost certain that you have bacterial vaginosis (also known as "anaerobic vaginosis"). This is an imbalance in the bacteria in the vagina. All women have harmless bacteria in their vaginal passage. In bacterial vaginosis, some of the bacteria multiply so that more are present than is normal (it is usually the Gardnerella and Mobiluncus bacteria that are the culprits). In other words, bacterial vaginosis is not an infection caught from your partner; it is due to bacteria that are normally present in the vagina. Discover more in recommended related link.
