My vagina smells like fish... bad?!


Question: My vagina smells like fish... bad?
I always get comments like "Close your legs." Or in the hallways, "What smells like fish?!", "Something smells like fish."

I know its me. How do I make it go away? An at home cure. I've heard it comes back after a few weeks of treating it. I'm so self concosin about it. I never sit or even lay down (when people are around) with my legs uncrossed. I can't ask my mom to go to a gyno, because me and her aren't that close, and she can't afford it right now. She's just got us a new hottub.

Heres my washing routine, for my vagina.
Take a wash clothe, put soap (lever 2000) on it, wash the outside/inside of the lips. Rinse off with water.
I never douche, and I whip front to back. I don't know why it smells like fish so bad. It's horrible after and before my period too. I'm 15.

Help?

Answers:

Please, go see a doctor. It's not yeast and it won't go away without meds. This can be caused by jeans that are too tight, bubble bath, scented tampons... just to name a few. It's called BV - Bacterial Vaginitis... you don't have to be sexually active to get it, but douching makes it worse, and you aren't going to get rid of the smell alone, nor will you be able to "cover it up with perfume". You will just be smelling like a perfumely fish. (true story) YOu might be embarassed to discuss this with your Dr, but trust me, it is NOT an uncommon thing, nor anything to be ashamed of. It can be cured though, so make that call, TODAY!!

Usually the vagina with have some sort of odour with it, but it shouldn't be so bad that people can smell it by just being in the same hallway as you! Bad vaginal odour can be a sign of infection like bacterial vaginosis, so I advise you to see a gyno as soon as you can.



Are you sexually active? Including masturbating? It may even be your PH balance. A doctor does need to examine you, take swabs nd find out what's going on down there. Until then you can try feminine washes. They work well on odors.



It is infected maybe yeast infection but way to solve it is wash thoroughly and wear perfume on your jeans and. Top so instead of fish they smell perfume and take a bottle of perfume in case it wears off



No, that's absolutely normal for someone your age. I know it's horrible, but use some perfume or body spray on the outside of your pants, and just keep washing down there! It's just hormones. No worries girlie



It's hormonal, sweetie. Keep bathing and try using a F. D. S. (feminine deodorant spray).
