Fishy smell?!
Question: I'm becoming really embarrassed about this smell that a guy told me he could smell coming from my vagina. I wash and keep clean, but I was on my period then. How can I eliminate those fish odors for good? And how can I eliminate any other odors for when I'm not on my period?

Go to my link at the bottom here. Dr. OZ has a lot to say on the smell of the vagina.
The vagina is a self cleaning oven, so to speak. It is normal and healthy for a vagina to have a scent because it is always cleaning itself. Very normal. Drop that guy and get one who likes the natural aroma of women.
The douche ads you see on TV want to take advantage of people who don't realize they smell normal because they want you to buy the product.
If you have an infection, that is a different story that you'd want to discuss with your gyno. To put your concerns at rest, next time you have a gyno appointment just ask if the smell you have is normal and if everything looks good down there. The doctor should be pleased you are asking.
If you do not have any kind of infection and the smell you have is the normal kind, I am of the opinion that constant washing of the vaginal area and using wipes, etc. is just not good no matter what.
repHresh
it sounds like a STD....go to the clinic
Bleach... But don't worry, it's normal. Just keep clean and you'll be fine.
If there is a fishy odor you have an infection. You need to see a doctor ASAP.
I don't know, can i see a picture?
well.....sorry to say but a vagina will always have a bit of a scent. there aint a whole lot to be done about it. you can just add flavor to it to cover up the taste. good luck
How about.....I dont know......SOAP!!!!
Get those feminine products...extra strength douche, yuck!
eat vegetables more and drink less and stop smoking if you do.
exercise too
sQk
glade plug in or some lysol
take a bath. You need to just relax and the water will get in there and flush it out. Take baths not showers for the next lil while once everything is good just take baths every now n then to make sure stays good. It just flushes everything out easier than a shower.
dont worry about a lot of guys like it
Change your pad. It happened to me too...i swear, don't cross your legs when you sit, and change your pads often.
drink alot of fluids and wash constantly, and you should go to your GYN too. their could be a bacteria infection going on there....a doctor would help this and know best.
it ccould be a yeast infection
first of all, did you smack him upside the head? What the hell, was he sticking his face down there and you let him--I so don't think you did that....! OMG, he's nasty. He may just be a nasty poophead and said that to be mean, so you'll get a complex.
Yeah, and try that rephresh stuff.
If that was me, he wouldve been wearing a pitcher of beer.
You might want to consult you Doctor just to make sure there is nothing wrong.
A constant fishy smell could indicate a vaginal infection, first see your doctor and he will rule out any conditions then buy unscented soap for your intimate washing, try buying a femenine product (But no douches which mess up your body's natural PH) also consider what kind of underwear youa re wearing, natural fabrics such as cotton are better at absorbing sweat and other bodily fluids and keeping you fresher longer.
I know i hate that smell!, what you can do is buy those always Pads with those little wipes, so everytime you change it keeps you clean, and wipes away the odor, also theres pads that help eliminate odors! other than that take a shower EVERYDAY! Clean well in that particular part, and change your pad more often to be more clean. Hope i helped :]
lol gross..
umm you can use tampons...they don;t stink as much as pads.
During your menses, wash frequently. If the odor is there without the presence of your period, you may have a bacterial infection (it is usually accompanied by a clear discharge). If that is the case, you will need to see you OB/GYN for a prescription.
You sure this guy wasn't just being a smart a**? :P There has always been a saying that a woman's va jay jay smells like fish..so he could have just been using that to get to you.
But if it is a really serious problem I suggest washing there regularly and if you need to use a douche.
Go to the doctor and make sure you do not have an infection. If he says you are fine then, you could try douching, if you plan to have sex during that time. But keep in mind that too much douching will throw off natural balance and could cause you to have problems with bacteria and vaginal infections. Ask the doctor if they can recommend a douche.
try summers eve. take baths and eat more fruit and pineapple too, that works really good for both guys and girls
all i can say is wash yourself good. and when your on your period and when you finish wash yourself really good.
well, use those personal wet wipes, tht helped with my problem
If you keep on washing it then it strange to have that fishy smell... perhaps there must be something wrong with your vagina... it could be bacteria since our anus is close to our vagina isnt it? so it might probably the caused... I suggest you better go to an OB GYNECOLOGIST to get it check... dont you worry its pretty normal for girls to have it so dont hesitate to see a doctor if its bothering you...
Then perhaps the doctor could suggest or give you a prescription to get rid of that smell... most women also use FEMININE WASH... you can buy it in stores... if you are still hesitant to see a doctor then try FEMININE WASH by yourself... I know a name LACTACYD im not just so sure if you can buy it around here in United States... good luck...
Just take a wash cloth and squeeze some body wash on it then scrub your vagina really well (you should do this daily). Plus your underwear and jeans might smell so check before you put them on because that is what could be causing the problem. Good Luck!
Eeeh, that must be embarrassing I feel sorry for you.
Um, you can drink more water to cleanse your body, periodically trim the pubic hairs around the area... Make sure you're using a sterile pair of scissors and have a mirror so you ONLY cut the hair and not anything else.
Use a vaginal cleanser which can be found where you find all the pads. But use the hypallergenic one with no laureth sulfate or anything sulfate. Thats a foaming agent which shouldnt be applied to such a sensitive area, it can be poisonous if used too much and especially on such a sensitive area. And lastly, pads. I guess you can try to use deoderized ones, but maybe you just need to start wearing tampons. It's not as bad as it may seem. If tampons are completley out of the question, find a brand of pad that is more suited to you.
Ohhhhhh Myyyyyyyy GOSHHHHHH...... that's like my dog. We call her salmon ash (you know the real spelling) cuz she always smells like salmon when she gets relaxed! LMFAO. Oh thats right eliminating the smelly smell. To get rid of my dog's scent we get her anel glands squeezed. Do you have anel glands? Well, if u do get em squeezed. If not, spray perfume on ur va JJ or shove one of those good smelling tissues u pute in laundrey in ur pants. BTW... y would the guy even be close enough to ur va JJ to smell this? Yea...... can u say promiscuous?
