My VAGINA smells?

Question:

I am not sexually active and i do not have any white or yellow discharge, but since the summer began, my vagina smells fishy and my clothes too. I have never smelled it like that before now. The time is very hot so i take regular showers, but my problem comes back as soon as it goes. What could be triggering it like that? What can i do?

Answers:
it unfortuantly natural. vaginas smell it's gross but that's life. It's worse in summer cuz you sweat down there ( everyone does).. It might help if you shave or wax. Having less to no hair won't trap as much of the smell. Don't douche that will only increase secreations and make the smell even stronger.

not normal go see a doctor

You might want to go to the doctor you might have a yeast infection or a UTI.

Probably yeast infection because of the heat & humidity.

Honey I dont knnow what 2 tell ya but if ne 1 asks tell them u went fishing...LOL

do u have a red or brown discharge in ur pants?it cud be ur period.

more than likely you have bacterial vaginosis, check with your doctor.

It sounds like you have an infection--which can happen even if you're not sexually active. It can be with or without the discharge, but the "fishy smell" is one of the biggest symptoms of an infection. Get a doctor's appointment a.s.a.p. because if it is an infection, the infection can travel up to your uterus and cause major problems.

wash really good with different towels everyday and get new undewear, not the same ones u have had since last year and before thats what helped me... good luck sistah

Have you tried douching?It may help. It really couldn't hurt to tallk to your OB/GYN.Although you have no outward symptoms, the smell could be related to an infection.Better to be safe.

Have you changed anything in your diet recently? That maybe the cause of it.

It sounds like you have a bacterial infection and you should go to the doctor. This is not normal.

Christine..sounds like you might have BV..that stands for Bacterial Vagninosis..In short it is not a STD but a overgrowth of bacteria..you don't get it from sex and sometimes it happens for no reason..most common cause is douching. Got to the doctor and be tested..Flagyl is a prescription medication that comes in pill and vaginal gel form. Some women tend to have more often than others..look it up on the internet for a more complete explanation.

Wash

ewwwwww

Whatever you do, don't douche. It sounds like bacterial vaginosis. An over growth of the normal bacteria in the vagina. It is common and one does not have to be sexually active to have it. But do get it checked out so you can clear it up. They will give you a prescription. You will feel much better.
