A member asked:

Hi there. i have this funny fishy smell in my vagina. it also does get itchy at times and a bit uncomfortable around the valve. its not sore, but its more uncomfortable.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"Fishy odor": See your gyn for a test of the discharge. A trichomonas infection can produce this kind of odor, and it is caused by sexual transmission, but easily treated, if both partners (and any other sexual contacts !) are also treated .
