Hello,

Fishy smell or malodorous vagina may be due to vaginal infection like bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. Vaginitis also cause the same thing.

You should take proper antibiotic treatment (Metronidazole) with vaginal suppository at bed time to eliminate this problem.

Also, avoid vaginal douching, chemical cosmetics/ scented bath products/ soap, wear only clean & cotton underwear, drink plenty of water and healthy diet with antioxidant supplements.

Hope, it helps for you. Be well.
