vulva odor.
Ok so I got rid of my bv but my vulva still has an odor. I have nomore pain during sex, nomore heavy discharge and nomore itching. Just the vulva odor. I've checked to make sure it wasn't my discharge that was causing the smell, it has no odor to it. Now I know smegma smells but sometimes when I don't that yet it smells. I've tried so hard for so long to find answer but it seems like dead ends. I know bacteria causes bad odor and I've tried to find a why to kill it and get rid of it for good. The closest thing I've found that keeps it away if I use it everyday it diluted lemon juice as a wash. Lemon juice kills bacteria. But I don't use it one day its back. So if any woman out there has had this problem and cured it please please please help. Its so embarrassing and makes me feel dirty and I'm not.
Yea I know I had/have bv. I'm not sure if it's all the way gone yet. Its just this odor on my vulva and clitoris that remains. I can't stand it! I read some women say the odor is coming from the clitoris then leaks down to the vulva. I've also read that nothing comes out of the clitoris. So I'm just confused.

Hello,
Going by your symptoms, it looks like bacterial vaginosis to me. It is the most common cause of abnormal vaginal odor and discharge. In addition to unpleasant "fishy" vaginal odor, thin white or yellowish discharge from vagina may also be present. Diagnosis can be confirmed after pelvic examination and microscopic examination of the vaginal discharge. Treatment is by metronidazole and clindamycin. Please do not use any vaginal douches.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
