A member asked:

Vagina smells like fish is that because i ate fish yesterday?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Its more likely that the fish smell is caused by a condition called bacterial vaginosis. This is not an STD. Its an overgrowth of a certain type of bacteria that just happen to produce a bit of a discharge and a fishy odor. Its treated with antibiotics. Best wishes!
