Vaginal Help

[jessica91911]

Its been a year 3 months since i had sex but in the last couple of months i been having vaginal odor. Its a strong odor like fish and some thing else its hard to explain it. I been having discharge every now and then. Brown or some times dark yellow urine. I thought it was just my urine that smells but even when i leave the bathroom i still can smell it. i have to atleast take a shower 4 to 5 times after i pee because the smell is still there. i dont know why but i need help. When i gave birth to my son a 2 years ago they said my pap smear showed that i had (HPV) , Cervical Cancer. im thinking it has to do with that but im hoping you guys might have a better answers or suggestions .

But are you saying you just had HPV?  HPV is a virus --  genital warts is another term for it.  It's not uncommon to have this.  however, you should use a condom with partners in order to not give it to them.  HPV can lead to cancer but isn't cancer.  BUT it is really important to get regular screenings as cervical cancer doesn't have signs until it is advanced.  You could head that off before it got to that point easily!!  HPV is an STD and not something you inherit or runs in families.  But you need to be having regular pap smears.  Please please please go see your doctor!

here's the cdc website on HPV:

Oh honey, you never did anything when you were told you had cervical cancer?  Or did they just say that hpv could lead to cervical cancer?  What did they want you to do at that time???

Listen, we have one body to take care of.  Most things are very treatable if we handle it rather than run away from it.  You have a child and you need to take your health seriously.  Don't be afraid to take care of a health matter.

If you had actual cervical cancer and did nothing, that would blow me away hon.  You have to go back to the doctor and sort that out.  Your kid is counting on you!

In all honesty, I think you need to be seen by a doctor for a complete pelvic exam and I would not delay.  good luck

Hi there and welcome.  Could it be bacterial vaginosis?  That has a very strong odor almost fish like?  But going to the cervical cancer---  what type of treatment did you have?
