BV question?

can Bv make your vagina on the outside and the urethea sore and irriated when you have a flair up? I am post men., age 63. Dont have the smell but the reddness, sore, and irriated

it could be thrush, that tends to make you really dry and sore. you can buy fluconazole over the counter just incase and will do you no harm to take it even if you dont have thrush
