Question 4

dr gave me duflican for yeast infection took duflican 4 days ago, still have some discharge and a slight fishy odor is odor normal? it's not to strong

Accepted Answer

BV? Trichomonas?: The main vaginal yeast symptoms are irritation and itching, scant discharge, without odor. Fishy odor suggests bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas. Maybe it wasn't yeast, or you had yeast plus BV or trich. It can be difficult to diagnose vaginal infections, so probably not your doc's fault. Return to be rechecked; request the newer, more accurate DNA test for trich if not yet done. Also STD tests.

Question 6

since i had my c section i've had a fishy odor in my private area . thought i had an infection i went to doc n see if i had a yeast infection but didn?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis?: Contrary to common belief, yeast infections don't smell. The main cause of strong vaginal odor, which is often fishy, is bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of mostly vaginal bacteria. Trichomonas, an STD, also can do it. Other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) are more common in women with BV, but of course only if at risk for STD. Return to your doctor and ask about BV and maybe STD testing. Good luck!

Question 7

fishy odor coming from vagina? could i have a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis?

Accepted Answer

That can be a sign: of bacterial vaginosis. That odor is not typical of a yeast infection, which would present with a white, thick discharge, not necessarily with any particular odor. You should see your doctor to be diagnosed and treated properly.

Accepted Answer

Yes could be an std.: Please refrain from sexual activity, get tested and get treated.  Make sure your partner(s) are tested and treated or you can keep reinfecting each other.  Remember that if you are at risk for one std you are at risk for all of them.  Get tested for syphilis and HIV also.  Good luck and stay safe.
