Ok i can't really get lubricated enough to have sex and when I do I have a white smelly discharge , after I have sex it smells l i just want to know what wrong
A : A smelly vaginal discharge is always cause for concern. You could be dealing with an infection. Most likely a bacterial infection called bacterial vaginosis(bv). If not then you could be dealing with a yeast infection or even an std. Regardless you need to be seen by your primary care provider or gynecoloist for an exam, testing, and treatment. I am not so sure if the fact that you are not getting lubricated is related to the discharge. Regardless, you can see if this problem resolves after you are treated; if not you may need a vaginal lubricant, which can be purchased at your local pharmacy. If you are post menopausal then you may be dealing with vainal atrophy, which could cause the vaina to be dry. If this is the case your provider can give you estrogen cream if indicated. Good luck. ...Read more

Why do I have fecal body odor? I am very hygienic i shower everyday and wipe my butt until the paper is white after a bowel movement but now I have started to notice a strong fecal body odor coming from me. A couple of times I have entered my finger into
From : From the chain of correspondence you have had with dr. Fowler, you may be suffering from fecal incontinence, which is the inability to control your bowel movements, causing stool (feces) to leak unexpectedly from your rectum, ranging from an occasional leakage of stool while passing gas to a complete loss of bowel control. Common causes of fecal incontinence include constipation, diarrhea, and muscle or nerve damage. Fecal incontinence may be due to a weakened anal sphincter associated with aging or to damage to the nerves and muscles of the rectum and anus from giving birth. Treatment will depend on the cause of fecal incontinence, but usually will start with dietary management and then medications, including laxatives and stool softeners. If the determination is made that the sphincter is lax or there is nerve damage, then sphincteroplasty may be beneficial. In some cases, sacral nerve stimulation may be considered. You may wish to see your gastroenterologist or a colorectal surgeon to assist in the management of your fecal incontinence. ...Read more
