A member asked:

Help docs? i'm having vaginal odor coming back after yeast infection treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginitis: there r other causes of vaginitis other than yeast. Exam needed to check wet mount /cultures. Bacterial vaginosis caused by overgrowth of bacteria and causes symptoms when normal vaginal flora has been disrupted. this produces a fishy odor. This is easily treated with either oral or topical vaginal cream. This is not an STD.
