About 4 weeks ago after a night of sex, my vagina was very sore and itchy. That soon went away within a couple days but I continued to have persistent discharge that soon became smelly. It smells kind of fishy and at times sour. I never had this before. What does it mean? Should I be concerned?
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Itchy and smelly vagina is likely due to vaginal infection. Fishy smell is common in bacterial vaginosis which is a infective condition of vagina. I would suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist to get properly examined, investigated including vaginal swab examination and pap smear and get properly treated. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Dr Deepti Verma
