Why I Am Having Strong, Fishy Odor Coming From Vagina Even After Scrubbing?
I have a strong, fishy odor coming from my vagina I have tried everything, douching, scrubbing, everything and it still wont go away. I recently had a partial hysterectomy, lapriscoptic and vaginal, but this odor appeared at 1 week prior to that, can you please help me find out what this is..?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
A fishy odor from the vagina is usually caused by an infection called bacterial vaginosis and will not go away just be scrubbing or douching or any of those other procedures. You may require antibiotic coverage for the same.
Please visit a doctor for a confirmation of diagnosis first, as there are other possibilities as well; and accordingly get accurately treated.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
