My sister has a very bad fishy smell from her vagina, she's had it for awhile, and no matter how much she washes it, the smell is still there?

Specializes in Hematology and Oncology

How old is your sis: How old is your sister. She needs to go to see her doctor to be examined. Bacterial vaginosis, or perhaps other type of inflammation/ infection should be ruled out.
