Question 1

does vaginal odor after taking antibiotics mean that i have cervical cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: You should see your doctor for a vaginal culture.  Taking antibiotics can throw off the normal pH and bacterial flora of the vagina.  Different kinds of bacteria can grow in its place and cause odors/discharge/itching.

Question 2

when i strain something like wet pieces of toilet pper comes out of my vagina no smell no pain nothing dr said yeast been taking antibiotics but still here what could it be ?  i am scared.

Accepted Answer

Listen to him: It sounds like a yeast infection.  If you are on antibiotics, that makes it more likely, in fact.  See him again for an antifungal.

Question 3

i have been taking adderall off and on for about 6 years and every time i take it, there is almost an instant but distinct strong vaginal odor. if i miss a dose then the odor subsides but as long as i take it, its there. what can help with this?

Accepted Answer

: Strong Vaginal Odor is a side effect of all Amphetamine medications. It is caused by PH changes in the vagina and decreased lubrication production. You can use vaginal douches containing fragrance to mask or counter the odor, and you can use lubricating solutions to help with the vaginal dryness.

Question 4

i have vaginal odor for a few months now and i want to know whats going on and how to fix it?

Accepted Answer

: Vaginal odor is caused when germs ae living in vaginal mucus and produce gas as they feed on that mucus. These can be germs that traveled there from your rectum, from the nearby skin, or from sexual activity. There are some OTC products in the feminine hygiene section of stores. Failure of these measures would mean you need an exam &amp; tests to sort it out.

Question 5

vaginal odor, can it be from taking medicines or vitamins? i have no other symptoms just a foul smell!

Accepted Answer

Usually not.: There are some vaginal infectionsa where main symptom is foul odor so please see a physicoian for diagnosis and treatment.

Question 6

29 female. married. every time i eat fish (any kind and only fish) i get a fishy vaginal odor regardless of hygiene. no other s+sx. coincidence?

Accepted Answer

Likely there's a : Scientific explanation- what comes in must come out.My theory - when the fish gets digested and absorbed in the stomach and intestine, the small particles of it with its strong scent travel  into the bloodstream and is excreted in the urinary tract and pores of skin and genital tract exuding the smell. The same thing when people take vitamins , their urine smells more pungent or strongly.

Question 7

the last few months i have noticed an abnormal vaginal odor. it is not fishy and only appears at the middle/end of the day and goes away after showering? could it still be an infection? its strong.my discharge is normal besides being a bit watery?

Accepted Answer

: Suggestive of bacterial vaginosis.  See your primary care provider or gynecologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

what drug(s) has worked best for vaginal odor without infection?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Even if not infected, an imbalance in vaginal ph can cause odor. The antibiotic Metronidazole works well. So does clindamycin. They both will re-establih the normal bacterial balance in the vagina and help eliminate odor.

Question 9

i have vaginal odor, saw a gp and he prescribed tablets & the smell went away, but a month later its back only seeing gyne aug wat can i do meantime?

Accepted Answer

Wait for GYN visit: It is very difficult to diagnose a vaginal infection when a patient has altered the environment with douches, or other feminine deodorant products. See if you can see your GYN MD at an earlier date.

Question 10

for about a week and a half i have had a strong vaginal odor. its very sweet smelling but my discharge is relatively normal with no strange color. i have no itching/burning/ etc. but even after showering or refreshing the smell is still there?

Accepted Answer

: While normal vaginal discharge is colorless &amp; odorless, it doesn't appear that you have a vaginal infection. Yeast vaginal infections can cause a sweet smell but a cheesy,itchy discharge comes with it. My guess is that some harmless bacteria are causing the sweet smelling odor. Your gynecologist can advise you best.
