CAN YOU GET BV THE DAY AFTER SEX OR IS THAT AN STD?

I had unprotected sex 4 months ago and the day after sex i had really bad yellow discharge, it was itchy and smelled foul. the doctor thought it was just bv so she gave me meds and it went away. do you think if it was an std that i would have still had the symptoms? or do you think that it was really just bv? can u get symptoms the day after sex of an std?

Yes. Any woman can get BV (bacterial vaginosis). The symptoms of bv are vaginal discharge and odor. Usually, there are no other symptoms. If any person has a new sex partner or multiple sex partners – there are possibilities of involvement of other bacteria and serious complications. There is possibility of transmission in sex partners. Having trichomoniasis and BV may increase the chance of getting HIV – and infected woman passes HIV to her sex partner(s). Multiple or new sexual partners, vaginal douching, and cigarette smoking, untreated / inadequate treated BV may cause serious complications, such as increased susceptibility to STD including HIV.
Gardnerella is predominant in Bacterial vaginosis but there are possibilities of involvement of other bacteria (for multiple sex partners). BV is sometimes confused with yeast infection (candidiasis), or infection with Trichomonas vaginalis (trichomoniasis) which are not caused by bacteria. BV is common in pregnant women and in childbearing age.
SYPHILIS : It IS caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is passed from person to person through direct contact with a syphilis sore on genital tract (penis / vagina/). Sores occur mainly on the external genitals, vagina, anus, or in the rectum. Sores also can occur on the lips and in the mouth. Transmission of the organism occurs during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Pregnant women with the disease can pass it to the babies they are carrying. Syphilis cannot be spread through contact with toilet seats, doorknobs, swimming pools, hot tubs, bathtubs, shared clothing, or eating utensils.
GONORRHOEA: Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Gonorrhea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterium that can grow and multiply easily in the warm, moist areas of the reproductive tract, including the cervix (opening to the womb), uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes (egg canals) in women, and in the urethra (urine canal) in women and men. The bacterium can also grow in the mouth, throat, eyes, and anus. Any sexually active person can be infected with gonorrhea. In the United States, the highest reported rates of infection are among sexually active teenagers, young adults, and African Americans
CHLAMYDIA : Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium, Chlamydia trachomatis, which can damage a woman’s reproductive organs. Even though symptoms of chlamydia are usually mild or absent, serious complications that cause irreversible damage, including infertility, can occur “silently” before a woman ever recognizes a problem. Chlamydia also can cause discharge from the penis of an infected man.
