BV is a common cause of unusual vaginal discharge that has a strong fishy smell.

Menstrual discs are similar to cups but are worn higher in the vaginal canal, just below the cervix.

Despite this, no vaginal examination was carried out and the court heard there was a delay in identifying that she was in labour.

They involve doing a vaginal swab which is then sent to a lab.

Eve Hewitt, who has Crohn's disease and vaginal scarring from surgery, told the BBC she asks for her screenings to be adjusted, because of potential pain and bleeding.
