A member asked:

Why do i smell like fish after sex? how to make it go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bacterial vaginosis: Most likely you have bv, an overgrowth of vaginal bacteria that requires very specific prescription medication. Often, semen also can have a very distinct odor. Have him wear a condom to see if it helps. Also, see your healthcare provider if it doesn't resolve.
