Hello- No its not normal, its bacterial infection. One of the biggest indicators of bacterial vaginosis is a ?fishy? odor. An imbalance in vaginal bacteria can lead to bacterial vaginosis. Bacterial vaginosis is usually not serious and often goes away on its own. But it?s a good idea to treat it as soon as symptoms appear. Some simple home remedies can help you get rid of this annoying problem. 1. Apple Cider Vinegar An excellent home remedy for bacterial vaginosis is apple cider vinegar. Due to its acidic nature, apple cider vinegar helps increase vaginal acidity. This makes it difficult for bad bacteria to survive and creates a better environment for good bacteria to thrive. Add one to two cups of apple cider vinegar to your bath water. Sit in the bath water for about 20 minutes. Gently pat dry the vaginal area. Do this once daily until the condition improves.
