A member asked:

I've been itching lately in the vaginal area but no discharge and the smell seems to change from a fishy to a rubbery smell?

It sounds like: Bacterial vaginosis which is usually accompained by discharge. It has that odor and it may not be signifiacnt enough to have a discharge. It is very common. Stay away from thongs and get seen if persistant. An antibiotic called metronizadole will help, good luck.

Bacterial/yeast: The most common cause of fishy smell is bacterial vaginosis and itching is mostly caused by yeast ;chlamydia.Treatment based after making the right diagnosis as bacterial vaginosis;chlamydia is treated with antibiotics and yeast by anti fungal drugs. Meanwhile you can wash the affected area with warm water;mild odorless soap, avoid tight clothings and wear cotton underwears.Consult gynecolo.
