A member asked:

What would make a vagina smell like cheese?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Monilia?: Monilia is the medical term for "yeast infection" which frequently may follow the use of antibiotics. There are over the counter yeast treatments that will correct the problem. If it persist, especially with heavy discharge or vaginal pain, you should see your doctor.
