what caused this feces type smell in my vaginal area? it just started today. i had sex a week ago with a condom and he was very  careful.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal infection?: Strong vaginal odor usually indicates vaginal infection, especially bacterial vaginosis, less often trichomonas. The odor is most commonly described as "fishy", but "feces smell" also fits. A foreign body (e.g. forgotten tampon, condom, etc) can do it. Trich is an STD, and BV is more common in people at risk for STD, so you also need test for gonorrhea and chlamydia. See a doc or clinic ASAP.

If stool samples are needed for other causes, his doctor will give you collection cups &amp; instructions.
