smelly vigina(vagina)

Ever since i started having sex with my boyfriend my vigina (vagina) has smelled different. It smells really bad and its never smelled like this before. It smells bad on the inside mainly, but i can smell it on my pants and even when i am just sitting down.

Help please!!!

Are you justing protection or is he finishing inside you.  Sometimes if you are use a condom that can cause you to have an odor due to the latex or spermicide.  You may have a reaction to the condom also.  If he is finishing inside you that can cause an odor.  With sperm being able to live in there for around 3 days you could be experiencing extended odor or if you are having sex often and he is finishing in you that could be causing your odor to be so strong or you smell it alot.  Is this your first partner or have you had others and this has never happened before.  Some STDs will give an odor along with sometimes an burning or iching feeling.  It never hurts to see your gyno if this is new for you and you are concerned about.

As a outside observer and not an actual owner...
My ex had the same problem, it was attributed to washing too much and throwing the Ph balance off.

Its not always something bad. you may need to dusch more often it helps alot.

[GRose]

Please don't d o u che, it pushes any bacteria that is present further up into the vagina, any gynecologist will tell you that.
If you are not using the condoms that is the problem, having semen in you throws your vaginas pH off and can give you a temporary nasty smell, it is normal but if you want to avoid it have him wear a condom, he should be anyways.

Sexual activity does change your hormones and ph balance. It is an inevitable side effect. It will change in strength of course due to things you and he eat, the moon, your emotions and yes if he finsihes inside of you. Sperm is pretty smelly.
Also as you both get older - smells get stronger. You are probably more bothered by the smell than he, unless it is really strong. If so consult your gynocologist.
Try going off the pill for a month (use condoms of course) and see if your body just needed to release the egg.

hope it helps

Ive had this same problem since meeting my present partner 2 years ago! Since we started sleeping together i noticed some very bad smells coming from down there, which got especially bad for a few days after we had sex. We've both been std tested so i knew that wasn't the cause. It was so bad i could smell it through my clothes and was so paranoid about people being able to smell me! I found washing and showering more just didn't help so i tried this: Buy some Natural Probiotic Yoghurt ( i bought Asda's own low fat one ) then first thing in the morning, dip a tampon into the yoghurt, making sure its well covered with it then insert it into your vagina, any excess just rub it over the outside area of your vagina. Leave it in for 5 hours then take it out and repeat the process immediately. I did this for a full day and the smell completely vanished, it was great and such a sense of relief!!! I was smell free for a good few days but then we had sex again and the smell came back, so i definitely agree that some mens sperm can interfere with the ph of a womens vagina. Ive been doing the yoghurt thing the day after we have sex for a few weeks now and would definitely recommend it.  Its just a pain having to do it everytime after we have sex, however we dont live together so thankfully we only tend to have sex once every week or 2! Although we did do it a few days ago and i didn't have any yoghurt so didn't do it that day so the smell has come back but its not nearly as bad as it was before i started doing this, so give it a try and see if it works for you!

I have had a problem twice in the 6 months I've been seeing my partner a weird smell after sex. It only last 1 or 2 days but it is the weirdest smell   Then it goes away  I have been checked for STDs and I was clean I don't get it. Any thoughts

Had same prob went to Dr - recurrent BV due to our chemistry doesn't go well together(my fiancé & myself). They said there was nothing I could do but, to use a condom - out of the question for me I hate them & we are monogamous, so their isn't a need & I flat out refuse. After much online research & trying many things I found a miracle - simply douche with equal parts hydrogen proxide & water after intercourse (everytime) & I also occasionally use the tampon dipped in yogurt just to reintroduce healthy bacteria back into my vagina. I haven't had any odor since & I've been using this method for over a year now. Also, all of my pap smears & exams have been perfectly normal. I only leave the yogurt tampon in for 2 hours. I know this will help you & any other woman who tries it.

I have the same problem too. I go to the bathroom and pee and then I take a shower and that usually helps

Bacterial Vaginosis  
Check with a doctor , very common can be corrected.  I was cured with meds.

I have had it too and its just the semen. Its gunk sitting inside your vagina that isnt usually there going rotten in my opinion, Its warm in thre so its cooking lol What helped me is as soon as he had *** inside me i'd jump up and run to the toilet and push it all out! Then what you need to do is buy some femfresh cleansing wipes which are pH balanced and Hypoallergenic (other countries will have different brand, I am in New Zealand), and keep them in your handbag to wipe yourself with after you have pushed it all out into the toilet and then just use them daily to freshen up. They also have a talc free powder you can buy to sprinkle in your knickers and a liqud soap to use which i have been using for nearly a year due to the fact that normal soaps and shampoos gives me thrush. I have only had thrush once since useing this product and that is because i ran out and had to use normal shampoo. Another cause of bad odor could be thrush cos i use to get it alot when i was having regular sex with a partner. So thats my opinions guys, hope it helps some one :)

I am 18 and I have had sex but its only been afew months now that my vagina is staring to smell really bad and I no I dnt have any STDs (I haven't had many partners) even when I dnt have sexual intercourse for months it will still smell. I wash all the time and keep it clean but I really need help on trying to stop the smell. Its making me very self conscious and embarrassed. My friend is also going through what I'm going through but hasn't had sex? What can I do to get rid of the smell without going to my mom?
