Weird Smell

[letsgo2texas]

Hello everyone!  I'm really starting to like this site!  I'm finding myself addicted to it!  

Anyways....for about the last 2 weeks or so, I have noticed a more distinct smell coming from down there....I have good hygene. I use Eve Feminine Wash and shower daily....I don't know if it's because I'm about 2 weeks out from my period or what...But, I've never noticed the smell like this before...It's almost embarrassing...

Thoughts?  Thanks!

It could be bacterial vaginosis (BV) also known as gardnerella, which is very common and is distinguished by a noticeable smell.  You'd need to be checked by your gyno for a definite diagnosis.

I would stop using the feminine wash, especially if you have an infection.  A lot of women are very sensitive down there and using feminine washes may only make the problem worse.  See a doctor if it doesn't go away.

Feminine washes can actually cause bacterial vaginosis.  I agree, stop douching and go to the doctor.

I had that this past summer and I agree with you the smell is embarrasing but I don't know if other people can smell it but you.  Anyway, the doctor said it was an infection and he prescribed flagyl which is an antibiotic and it worked great.
