Vaginal Odor

This has probably been going on for a while now, But I started to figure this out, a couple of days ago ! It starts to stink down there & Even right after my shower ! So, I would have to go back in & take another shower. But it won't go away ! I usually cover myself up with perfume, & No one will notice it. But then if I was to change my underwear , It really won't smell. So I been thinking I might have a disease , or just a problem about the way I'm washing my self ..!

Hello,
These symptoms can be due to bacterial vaginosis or TD’s if you are sexually active. 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.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing
