Vulva odor
Common Questions and Answers about Vulva odor
vagina
I had a punch biopsy on my vulva due to itchiness, burning and white coloring. The result came back at Follicular Keratosis. Anyone has any insight on this condition? Was only told it was benign. But, would that cause burning, itching, tearing skin of the labia and white skin? Thanks.
I used monstat and it cleared up. Then about two weeks later I found a bump kind of inside of my vulva. It went away then a week later I started having symptoms that appeared as if i had a bacterial infection. My vulva was REALLY inflamed and hard and it burned. I was in unbeareable pain and I could barely sleep or walk.
Note that the discharge never had a foul odor, just that my urine has a strong urine scent. My vulva had started itching again, especially inside my vagina. I have been putting tampons so my panties won't be soaked with this odd discharge. I have noticed that as soon as I've been doing that, my vulva doesn't itch and I am guessing it's because the discharge isn't coming in contact. I have had 8 sexual partners and 5 was unprotected sex.
Hello, I came on this forum because I wanted to know if you can get genital bumps and ulcers/blisters from BV or Yeast infection. I'm sorry in advance if what I say is weird or too much information I'm new to this! I was in a relationship beginning in early December 2014 around late March/ early April we weren't sexual because we go to different schools and couldn't always find the time.
Two swollen areas on my vulva. They look like blood blisters. One of them actually bleeds a little and the blood looks like it may be slightly pus-y though I'm not sure if that wasn't just due to where the blood was coming from.. I put Neosporin on them after my shower. Have recently become very sexually active (monogamously) and wondered if the added frequency could cause this. They don't hurt really. Color is normal around the vaginal area and there is no discharge or odor.
I have recently began noticing I have milky white thin discharge that does not have a strong or odd odor. I also have a tiny bump like figure on my lower vulva that is whiteish. It does not hurt when I urinate or wipe and it also does not hurt to the touch. I noticed the bump after I shaved but the location of it tells me it is not an ingrown hair. Has anyone had this problem before if so what was it?
my vagina is itchy and burns the more i itch. it itches around the vulva and is slightly swollen. there is no odor/little oder, discharge is normal (is white and slightly clumpy but no cottage cheese like) and it doesn't hurt when i urinate (and urination is normal, i'm not going more than i usually do) what can this be?
s always a good idea to have these things checked out by a medical professional. Yellow discharge and fishy odor can often be a sign of bacterial vaginosis (BV), or possibly another health issue going on within your vagina/vulva. Stay away from douching because it can cause further pH imbalances.The best way to figure this out, would be to see your doctor or gynecologist for a diagnosis, and ask about treatment options.
Hello,
Going by your symptoms, it looks like bacterial vaginosis to me. It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole and clindamycin.
Hi,
It could very well be irritation from the shaving. It may itch for a few days. Now if you also have a unusual color discharge along with a bad odor, I'd think it may be an infection of some sort and advise you to go to the doctor. But all in all it sounds like it was just a bad reaction to the shaving. Good luck to you!
By the end of my menstural period the itch then have became intense and spread throughout my pubic area. No discharge, no odor, just very itchy, red, and warm to touch. I have no idea what could be causing this irritation cause I have not recently changed my routine products that I have been using for years. I did recently get checked for stds. All which came back negative but I was diagnosed with uterus adenomyosis.
Hi All,
I am 5 weeks pregnant and just noticed a yellowish/greenish discharge sometimes when I go to the bathroom. It doesn't itch and really has no odor. I am going to the DR tomorrow, but wanted to ask if anyone else has had this, and if everything was ok? By the way it is not an STD as I have been tested for all before trying to get preggers and have a been with only one person for the last 10 years. Thanks for any feedback!
I had sex about three days ago and just yesterday I noticed a bad odor coming from my vagina. I noticed it while I was at work and I lasted all day. I was super nervous and paranoid because I felt like everyone around me could smell it since I was aware of it. The first time I had sex with this person I didn't have usual odor after but with this second time it's kind of strong and I thought that showering would get rid of it but it hasn't gone.
I have a bump on my labia and my vulva is itchy. I cant tell if I have discharge but if I do it's liquid and doesn't really smell all that bad. It does have a minor odor though. I was just wondering if anyone knew what this was and if they do is it serious.
an infection, an allergic reaction to chemicals or fabric that cause an irritation, STD's, etc... If the itching becomes persistent or unbearable make an appointment for a pelvic exam with your doctor.You should also see a doctor if you notice a change in your discharge like a foul odor; a change in color; excessive amounts of discharge or fluid, and any pain or burning sensations.
1. Sometimes has skin/smegma build up in the vulva area, that I struggle to clean with a wet wipe (unusual since she rinses it daily)
2. Frequently has thick white discharge pooled near the vaginal opening.
I’m not put off by the discharge, I appreciate it’s role in her health. While I’m comfortable with intercourse and using fingers, it’s not my preference to put my tongue in the discharge nor use my fingers for anything else without a clean.
My questions are:
1.
Or sometimes it will get round and shiny and I pop it and pus comes out and blood (the pus has no odor). I thought I might have recurring folliculitis. any ideas? I have a few more pictures if needed.
thanks
Oh and in the pass when I had these bumps and got a physical my doctor didn't even mention them

Hello,
Sometimes an infection can cause menstrual blood to look and smell funny. If associated with a foul odor (remember blood itself often has a characteristic smell), tenderness or fever, this should definitely prompt a visit to the gynecologist. Commercial pad such as Always or Kotex are made from synthetic materials and plastics, these prevent aeration to your vulva so get your groin hot and sweaty, as ably as mortified this give the sound environment for germs and yeast to multiply.
Hi there, so I had the IUD put in in March, and started having funky symptoms in October (irregular discharge/odor). The obgyn diagnosed me with BV and chlamydia, which was a total shock because I've only had protected sex, but I tool the medications and the symptoms went away- tested negative after that. A little while ago I started having mild pain on what feels like NY right ovary- it comes and goes, and it's usually pretty mild.
I did start notice of an odor in the beginning, it has changed now, not as bad as before. But it keeps getting itchier and itchier, now it seems that a rash appears its not pimple like.. or like razor rash.. but like a bump under the skin that is VERY itchy. Its not herpes? because it isnt blisterish ? Its not a yeast infection because there is no itching or rash around the area yeast infections occur. its mainly contained in the vulva area.
Anyone had a similar experience?
See a doctor and get an antibiotic prescription. Be sure that you are properly diagnosed so the medication matches the problem. Take the full course of the meds.
