I was just treated for bv about a month ago, and it had started out with intense itching followed by abnormal discharge and foul fishy smell. So I know what the symptoms are. But just now I just noticed a fishy smell again, not as intense but still there. I dont know if during certain times of the menstrual cycle the vagina has different kinds of smells, or if this fishy smell is an early sign that my bv has returned. Women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) may have an abnormal vaginal discharge with an unpleasant odor. Some women report a strong fish-like odor, especially after intercourse.
Discharge, if present, is usually white or gray; it can be thin. Women with BV may also have burning during urination or itching around the outside of the vagina, or both. Some women with BV report no signs or symptoms at all.
I would recommend getting back in touch with your doctor to see what he/she says. They may need to run some tests to give you a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Good luck :) it could have returned.
you should clean your underwears extremely well so the bacteria washes away.
and clean your vagina as much as possible.
there are different smells to a vagina but usually when its a fishy smell that means there is bacteria.
you should go back to your doctor and have it checked. |
