A member asked:

My area down there smells weird during intercourse. what could cause this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal bodily fluids: The secretion of various fluids can cause a temporary change in the 'aroma' of the area in question. If the odor is fishy or foul, please see a gyn md for assessment for a possible vaginal infection.

Dr Higginbotham and another doctor agreed
