BV Symptom Visit Prep Checklist

A plain visit-prep checklist for possible BV symptoms, with odor, discharge, itch, pee pain, pregnancy context, testing questions, and private notes.

Use this before a visit for discharge, odor, itch, or burning.

This checklist cannot tell you if you have BV. It helps you bring clear notes. A clinician can decide what testing fits.

Contact a clinician promptly if symptoms are new, strong, painful, or worrying. Tell them early about pelvic pain, fever, sores, new bleeding, pregnancy concern, or symptoms that feel urgent.

What this checklist can do

This checklist can help you This checklist cannot Show what changed. Diagnose BV. Put symptoms in plain words. Rule out yeast or STIs. Help you ask about tests. Tell you what treatment to use. Keep notes short. Replace urgent care.

Symptom checklist

Check what fits. Leave the rest blank.

Odor is new for me. Odor is stronger after sex. Discharge is thin. Discharge looks white or gray. Discharge amount changed. I have itching. I have burning. Peeing burns. The outside skin itches. I have pelvic pain. I have fever. I have bleeding outside my period. I may be pregnant. Symptoms came back after a past visit.

BV can have no symptoms. Symptoms can also overlap with other causes. Your notes are a starting point, not a diagnosis.

What changed

Use plain words. You do not need perfect terms.

Change Date it started What was different Odor Discharge amount Discharge color Itch or burning Pee pain Pelvic pain Bleeding Symptoms after period

If your main concern is odor after bleeding ends, use the vaginal odor after period log.

Questions to ask

What tests fit my symptoms? Can you test for BV? Should we also check yeast? Should we also check STIs? Could cervix irritation cause this? Does pregnancy change what we should check? What symptoms mean I should call sooner? What should I track if symptoms come back? Do I need a follow up visit? What should I avoid writing down or sharing?

Do not start, stop, or change medicine from this checklist. Ask your clinician what is safe for you.

Testing notes

Ask what each test can show and what it cannot show.

Test topic Question to ask Discharge exam What do you see today? pH What does this result mean? Microscopy What can it check? Lab swab What does it test for? STI testing Which tests fit my symptoms? Pregnancy test Does this fit my visit today?

If symptoms keep coming back, ask whether you need a follow up plan or a specialist referral.

Short visit script

"I am not trying to diagnose myself. My main change is . It started . I also have . Can we talk about what to test?"

Start with the change that bothers you most. Odor, itch, burning, and discharge changes all count.

Private notes

Discharge and odor notes can include sex, pregnancy worry, period dates, test results, and location clues. Share the smallest useful record.

Ask:

Do you need my full app history? Is this one page summary enough? Will these notes go in my chart? Can I leave out private notes not tied to care?

Floriva can help you keep short notes on your device. Paper works too.

Use the vaginal discharge color and odor checklist for a broader symptom grid. Use the yeast infection symptom log if itch and thick discharge are your main notes. Read the vaginal discharge data privacy checklist before sharing a full export.
