Question

Answer 1

You may have a infection.

But if you don't think so then go to the doctor.

Answer 2

Does the odor smell fishy? If so it could be a bacteria that is sexually transmitted. You would just need a antibiotic. It is not a big deal nothing to be ashamed of.

Answer 3

If it's really strong it could be an infection. Esp if it itches or burns too...or if you have green, gray, or clumpy discharge. If that's the case...see a doctor. No amount of washing can cure an infection.

If it's not an infection, then your natural smell may just be stronger than you'd like it.

Answer 4

this could mean that you are about to start your period. thats what happened to me. just dont worry too much about it.

Answer 5

An odor from the v****a can indicate an infection like bacterial vaginosis (an example only).

I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation to see what they say.

Answer 6

you could have an infection, but that happens to me sometimes, and I don't have an infection.

Answer 7

You should get a Vagisil screening kit it will tell you if you have an infection or not. Especially if you have a fishy smell.  I was going through the same thing so I bought a kit and found out that I had BV (Bacterial Vaginosis).  You can only treat BV with antibiotics or creams that your doctor can give you.  If you do have BV and don't get treatment then the infection will get much worse: itching, swelling and pain.  Trust me it sucks.

Answer 8

you have to get to the doctor for a full work up

Answer 9

Me too.

It's really annoying!
