Discharge
I am a bit concerned as I have had a vaginal discharge that smells fishy. I experienced it once before and it seemed to happen after having sex. Im also experiencing lower back pain, finding it hard to bend down etc. Could you tell me what this possible could be?
Not sure about the back pain, but the fishy odor sounds like bacterial vaginosis (BV). That's the main symptom: a fishy odor. It usually also makes your CM more sticky than normal. I would suggest you go and see your doctor or obgyn. testing for BV is quick and easy, and if that's what you have, they'll just give you a round of antibiotics. Good luck to you!
