What causes the *usually mild* smell of "fish" in the vaginal region?!


Question: What causes the *usually mild* smell of "fish" in the vaginal region!?
This has never been a probem of mine, but i have known a few girls who don't seem to have very good hygenic practices in such matters (if you know what i mean)!.
I'm just wondering what are the actual bacterial, chemical, physical components to produce such a phenomena of curious smell!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Bacterial vaginosis and trichomonas can both cause the fishy odor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it could be BV - Bacterial Vaginosis!.
it's all about the acid and alkali levels in your body!.
there are medicines to treat it!.

it could simply just be bad hygiene and not enough washes!.

may even be thrush!.
just tell them to go to a doctor, although it may be embarrasing for you to suggest it, and them to talk about it to a doctor, best get it out the way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Their bacterial balance is less than ideal, and they need to clean it!. (There just might be an over-abundance of microbes down there!.) It should not smell like fish unless the bacteria are digesting something!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It could be a yeast infection if it smells "fishy"

in a rare case it might be an std!.
just go talk to your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
