Q: how do i know if i am dealing with a vaginal infection vs using the wrong muscles to pass fecal matter?

Itching &amp;/or odor: Vaginal itching and/or odor designate a possible vaginal infection symptoms. Passing fecal matter has nothing to do with a vaginal infection unless it enters the vagina.
