I dont know whether or not your state has medicaid or not but there is a medcaid plan called planfirst that gives you one free pap smear everyear and free birth controll. Stop protecting him and start protecting yourself. This can be a life threatening disease and you know that you got it from him if you have it. It may need to be affecting your sexual relationship so he keep giving it to you. 9 times out of ten if you have it he already knows cause men get symptoms before women. He may clearing himself up and refusing sex from you to avoid him having to go to the doctor again and again.   Think about it.

hi

its hard to go to the dr. i dont have a job so that means i have no insurance.. i have been with only one man for 8 months now so if i got an STD "god forbid" that means its from him right...u cant just get those from walking eheh...

do u think maybe the odor could be from to much sex or maybe if his sperm sits inside me to long our odors dont smell to good together?

I am sure it's a vaginal infection... it's not because you ate something that your vaginal smell would change. I am sure you've eaten different things in the past and it never happened. Our bodies are so good about warning us.... go get a pap smear quickly because if it's chlamidya or anything like that, your infection can progress and disable you from ever having children... it can affect your falopian tudes. Do not take it lightly. Go get a pap smear immediately and you'll find out and get treated. Hurry! before it's too late.

Cut out the garlic for a while and see if there's a change. Can't hurt. :)

alot of things i eat have garlic in them..i dont really eat alot of spicy foods..i have always had a smell but sometimes its stronger than other times

[Evie1963]

Apparently some foods can affect the smell and taste down there. I'm sure garlic was one of them, I can't recall any others but I'm guessing the spicy stuff. If this is new it maybe a vaginal infection of some sort. Not all vaginal infections smell fishy anyway.
