D
Feedback:
Bacterial vaginosis causes a "stale fish" vaginal odor. Cottage cheese-like discharge is seen in candidiasis and not in bacterial vaginosis, in which the discharge is thin and gray-white. Intense itching of the vulva is associated with candidiasis and not vaginosis. Warts in the vulva and labia are seen in human papillomavirus infection, not in vaginosis.
