I am not a Doctor or anything, but I can attempt to answer this question based on my own personal experiences. Although a yeast infection can have a funny odor, it is usually different from bacteria. Bacteria usually has a foul-like "fishy" odor. The discharge is usually thin, and clear. A yeast infection on the other hand, has a cottage cheese like discharge, and the smell is usually "musky". Not to mention a yeast infection itches like mad, and can be very annoying. My suggestion is to go to the Doctor and not to try and diagnose yourself, because although you can get medicine for a yeast infection over the counter, medicine for bacteria can only be prescribed, and trust me the longer you wait on either on of these infections the worse it is.
Hope that helps,

∙ 8y agoThe primary symptom of bacterial vaginosis is a foul-smelling discharge. A doctor will verify the diagnosis by taking a swab sample from inside and performing several tests, including a test of pH levels.
And if you are confirmed to have it, you should get the treatment immediately. Herbal medicine "fuyan pill" has shown great effects on curing it. This pill is natural healthy and effective on treating bacterial vaginosis.
Hope this could help you.

∙ 9y agoThe symptoms of bacterial vaginosis are a milky white vagina discharge with an unpleasant odor, like fish, especially after sex or using soap. See your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

∙ 10y agoBecause chlamydia often has no symptoms, and because you can have BV and chlamydia at the same time, this question is not sensible. A clincian can tell the difference between BV and chlamydia by looking under the microscope at the vaginal discharge and by doing a screening test for chlamydia. Even your health care provider can't tell the difference by eyeballing your genitals or discharge. Get tested with your health care provider.

Can you get chlamydia from a UTI?
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease. Urinary tract infections (UTI) are not. It is possible to have both a UTI and Chlamydia, but one does not cause the other. There is no other way to get Chlamydia except through sexual contact; UTIs, on the other hand, can even be seen in young kids. Chlamydia is caused by bacteria called Chlamydia trachomatis, that is spread by oral, anal, or vaginal sex; genital-genital contact; sharing sex toys; or birth to a woman with chlamydia. Chlamydia can infect the urethra, which is part of the urinary tract. It can cause urinary pain or blood in your urine. However, we don't usually call chlamydia a UTI. In the US, at least, UTI is meant to signify infections of the urinary tract that are not typically spread by sex.

Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.

To get chlamydia test results, contact the health care provider that did the test.
Would you know immediately if you were born with chlamydia?
No, you wouilldn't necessarily know if you were born with chlamydia. There have been cases in which children with lung problems were diagnosed with chlamydia years after birth.
