Fishy odor in vagina and no std at all just got my results which are negative for all std's!! but why the smell? even after shower please help!!!

Fishy odor: A fishy odor to vaginal secretions is a classic symptom of bacterial vaginosis which is not an STD. It happens when the normal peroxidase positive lactobicillus are lost and anaerobic bacteria over grow in the vagina and it is the most common vaginal infection. Douching does not help and can even cause it. See your PCP or GYN for evaluation and treatment. Hope this helps.
