Avatar f tn I've been having strong vaginal odors and I have no idea why?!? I'm almost 36 weeks and am so embarrassed by the smell, I feel so disgusting! I'm STD free and have no kind of inffection and don't get why this is happening!
Avatar n tn Vaginal odors can be cause by bacteria/yeast infection. Do you have discharge? I suggest you see your Gyno. Make sure you get a pap once a year.
Avatar n tn She mentioned that women who douch in an effort to combat vaginal odor actually end up encountering more frequent problems regarding vaginal odors, due to disrupting the natural ph by medicated douches; thus, creating a vicious ongoing cycle. I'm 45 yrs. old. I've followed her advice and do not encounter vaginal odor, yeast infections, nor bacterial infections.
Avatar n tn Does anyone have suggestions on how to reduce vaginal odor? I had this problem before I started having sex but it has gotten a worse since. I know this is normal but I want to know if someone has an idea of how to reduce it.
Avatar f tn Do see your doctor. Vaginal odors that resemble strong, fishy odor are a classic sign of bacterial vaginosis which is treated with antibiotics. The odor is often noticeable after sex. Hygiene does not affect BV unfortunately. Your best bet is to get swabbed by a doctor. Anyone can have BV and it is nothing to be ashamed of.
Avatar f tn Is there anyone else on here that had sensitivity to odors during their pregnancy? It seems like every where I go I'm at risk of getting sick because of something I smell! If so, how did you deal with it?
Avatar f tn It sounds like you could have some sort of vaginal infection. Infections can have the symptoms of pain, itching, burning, bad odors, and odd discharge (amount, texture or color). You don't need all of those to have an infection though. I suggest you see a dr to figure out if its a yeast or bacterial infection -or perhaps if it's caused by not enough lubrication and rough sex. The dr will help figure out the cause and help you know how to treat it.

Avatar f tn ve had frequent bowel movements with anal pain and discomfort-- but no anal lesions or bumps. I have no vaginal lesions, discharge, odors, or other pain. Had ONE small painless slightly itchy deep bump inside my vagina lip. No pus or fluid in it. It hung around for 5 days. Doc said it was a cyst. I'm not sure. So far, IGG select Blood tests for hsv1 and hsv2 at 7 weeks out are negative .12 and .09. Does my anal pain symptoms sound like genital herpes infection? PLEASE respond.
Avatar n tn Sometimes a sinus infection, gum infection, throat infection or ear infection can have an odor that you can detect transiently when you pass the person or you are the person. Vaginal odors can also sometimes be detected. Please be aware that some people detect odors better than others. The perm smell is usually related to sulfur or ammonia products. You might also be detecting sewer gas leak if you have a cracked drain pipe some where. It might also be perm chemicals wafting through the air.
Avatar f tn My period was on for the rest of the week. When my period was done. I realized I my vaginal discharge has an odor and it smells just like my boyfriends semen! What does this mean? Could it be an std?
Avatar f tn I am 16 and I have a terrible vaginal itch and smell. I don't know what to do. I have tried creams and everything. Nothing works. I go to the gyno and she says its normal... I don't think so... Someone please help!!
Avatar m tn I have this VAGINAL ODOR when im having sex but sometimes when im finish i dont have the odor nomore. but u can still smell it alittle. i was wondering why do i have the odor it's like a fishy mess and other times it's a different smell. ive been to the doctor and all my tests came back normal so i wanna know why am i still having this odor during sex. i douche and when i take a shower i wash really really good down there so what's the problem.
Avatar n tn sometimes others can smell your odors. easy way to prevent this is to take showers regularly, and keep clean underwear on. I personally wasnt to aware of my hygiene and the fact that I smell, until my boyfriend pointed it out. now I take major steps into making sure I smell fresh. but there are some types of odors to be aware of. fishy odors for example, if you're experiencing fishy odors I would recommend ducheing. only do it once a month or so.
Avatar f tn s almost definitely where the smell is coming from. Yeast and other vaginal infections are actually pretty common so there is no need to be embarrassed or hide it from your mom. Although sex can increase the likelihood of an infection (especially if your partner isn't practicing good hygiene) anyone can get an infection without sex being in the picture. Yeast infections can be treated with an over the counter treatment.
Avatar n tn What you describe, the experience of abnormal smells or odors is common, but not well understood and the odor of sulfur or rotten eggs is one of the more common of these. These sensations are believed to most often originate in the central nervous system, rather than in the nose or other structures. However recent studies suggest that in some instances, the odor may originate from diseased nerve endings in the nose or the nerves that run from it to the brain.
Avatar n tn Irrigate your sinus and supplement with probitoics and Zinc+Magnesium has been said to reduce odors. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/283172'>SINUS ODOR</a>.
