Question 1

hi, i have a funny fishy discharge since yesterday.
i have only been with one partner for the last 8 years.
me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex over the weekend and i did not have this smell,  
could you please advise, what else can be the cause?

Accepted Answer

This is likely: a bacterial vaginitis, changes in vaginal acidity can allow an overgrowth of bacteria. Not usually considered sexually transmitted, but i some cases can bounce back and forth between you and you partner. Easily treated with an antibiotic creme, but may need confirmation by seeing your doctor.

Question 2

what are causes of itchy vagina with fishy smell and white paste discharge?

Accepted Answer

Cervicovaginitis: As you describe it, it sounds as a cervicovaginitis. It's an infection caused by a bacteria or a fungus, you would have to attend a physician, as physical exploration is important to determine the etiology and treatment.

Question 3

for 14 months i have a fishy vaginal smell, thick white discharge, and vaginal tearing/cuts every week healing in 1-2 days. what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

BV?: These could be symptoms of bacterial vaginosis which is a benign infection treated with antibiotics or other infections. I suggest see your primary doc for eval, culture and treatment. 14 months is too long to sit on this.

Question 4

do you know any home remedies for bv? i think that's what i have. my symptoms include whitish sticky vaginal discharge and a strong fishy smell there

Accepted Answer

BV: No need to mess around with bv.  You need to get examined by a gyno and get the proper medications for this.  Bacterial vaginosis can make you more susceptible to other infections in that area.  Get seen!

Question 5

i have these symptoms:
itchy/red vagina
foul smell - fishy i think
i've bled twice during sex in the past two weeks
i had dark brown discharge for the?

Accepted Answer

YOU NEED: a GYN exam and CULTURE for what is most likely a vaginal/pelvic infection.
Don't delay since many of thse infections can spread to your sexual contact(s) and RE-INFECT you or others!

Hope this helps!

Question 6

sticky dark green nipple discharge from right breast only when squeezed hard. can express a drop from two ducts. no smell & no other symptoms. likely cause?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: One's primary care doctor can check the area of the chest and breasts to see if there is a problem in that area that is causing one-sided nipple discharge. With age, a person's nipples may change over time. Hormones do play a role, which means nipple symptoms can vary during the menstrual cycle, because hormone levels vary. In her mid-30's, breast cancer is a worry, so a doctor should evaluate.
