A member asked:

Had a partial hysterectomy november 2015 and i've started noticing an order and is stronger after sex and sometimes has a fishy smell?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fishy smell: The most common vaginal discharge is not a yeast infection. The most common vaginal discharge is bacterial vaginosis. BV has a fishy smell and is most noticeable after sexual intercourse. You state that you had a partial hysterectomy. Was this a Supracervical Hysterectomy where they leave the cervix or do you mean they left the ovaries. You still need a yearly pap smear if you have a cervix.
