What Causes Strong Odor From Vagina After Having Protected Sex?

Hi, I found this site following a thread. I had protected sex on two occasions, both of which resulted in no leak of condom, but after I had sex there has been a strange smell from my vagina - I don t know what it could be… Will a simultaneous consumption of antibiotics & probiotics help with this issue?

As you say that there is no leak from condom, so we rule out the first possibility that this could be a odor of semen.

Now coming to the other possibility that abnormal vaginal odor may be due to Bacterial vaginosis, Poor hygiene, retained clothes or other infections like trichomoniasis. So the cause of the vaginal odor should be accurately diagnosed. You should consult a gynecologist for proper examination and confirm the cause.

Also you should have to take some personal care as follows:
Maintain proper vaginal hygiene.
Use loose clothing and cotton undergarments.
Use a condom during sex to protect yourself from sexually transmitted diseases .
Stay healthy and take care.
