Is Bacterial Vaginosis (BV) the only explanation for a somewhat fishy odor? |
My vagina smells alot like sex and it secrets a fluid, well sometimes its fluid, other times its a stain. When it is a fluid its white an has a consistency like glue. When its a stain,its light brown almost mustard. I realised that odour started AFTER having (protected) sex with my boyfriend. I am worried that its BV but hoping that its just a random secretion that happens to women sometimes. Yes I do know i should go to the doctor an check it out but I want some information first before I go. If you have absolutely only had protected sex, I find it unlikely to be BV, but a yeast infection instead. Eat some yogurt, get a prescription for Diflucan from your primary doctor and see if it clears up. If not then see your gynecologist and have a regular exam and be tested for BV. That and not taking a shower. I had the same problem and that's what they diagnosed me with... they use a cream for me but I think you can op for a pill to resolve it.... Also it can be caused by thongs, and bubble baths... or thats what the doc told me saying when i had it I hadnt had sex in a few months usually is BV but could be something more serious..the white stuff sounds like yeast but a yeast infection doesnt smell fishy. You are probably having a reaction to the latex of the condoms. This is quite common; it can interfere with your pH balance and cause all sorts of discomfort like this. Talk to your doctor, s/he may recommend a douche that will restore your normal acidity. Bacterial vaginosis is most likely, and most benign. I hate to be gross, but retained foreign bodies are also a possibility. You're not missing a condom, I hope. |
