A member asked:

I recently got a depo shot and i've noticed my vagina smells a bit foul, there's no discharge but it smells a little fishy, could this be from my depo and would this be something that often occurs on depo?

Vaginal odor ?'s: "Depo shots" are not responsible for vaginal odor. A "fishy" odor is common with Trichomonas infections, so see your gyn physician for an exam and "wet smear"/culture to determine what is probably a vaginal infection.
