So i just got an IUD inserted yesterday, and today I'm having foul smell spotting. The doctor's office told me it's probably just the iodine clearing out with the bleeding, but they didn't say how long it would last. Has anyone else had to deal with this nonsense, and if you have, how long did it take to get rid of the odor?
View 14 RepliesFor the past couple days I have been experiencing this insanely disgusting odor from my vagina, especially during intercourse. At first I thought it was the smell of dry blood because my partner and I started having intercourse the day my period was suppose to end. After we finished we both noticed a horrible smell and that there were brown stains. I assumed that it was dry blood, but after a couple days the smell and brown discharge did not disappear, it just got worse. I felt some discomfort during intercourse but other than that physically I didn't feel anything, the only thing that was uncomfortable was the disgusting smell. The discharge was a brown liquid most noticeable when whilst on the toilet. I noticed that the discharge was coming deep within my vagina. So I started to google my symptoms and I my results came up with having a vaginal fistula. But it didn't make sense. I came across this website and the forum started by pain and shame, where you are now no longer able to comment thus why I am starting a new thread, and saw that she had the exact same symptoms that I was experiencing. I continued reading and she said that the root of her problem was a lost tampon. I thought to myself "no, that's impossible". Once reading the comments I went to the bathroom to check and to my utter most surprise I indeed found a tampon deep within my vagina. I was completely shocked, I had no idea that this was even possible. The tampon had rolled up deep inside and was difficult to remove, you definitely need time and patience to remove it. This definitely opened my eyes, I never knew this was possible and the consequences could have been dangerous, such as TSS. I just want readers to be aware that this can happen and if anyone is experiencing what I went through they should first check for a lost tampon.
View 1 RepliesLast month, between totally regular, normal periods, I had a watery brown discharge for 2 days. It was foul smelling and very soppy but aside from the smell it seemed like dried blood finally coming down.
This last week I began noticing a foul smell whenever I went to the bathroom. It smelt like fecal matter, so I simply thought it was my bowels giving me a hard time. I was mortified to find out that during intercourse later that day, the foul smell increased. It was emitting from deep within my vagina! My husband politely told me I smelled 'yeasty' but I have had many yeast/BV infections and even PID and nothing compared to this! Furthermore, there is no itching or irritation. I would never have known about the smell if we hadn't engaged in sex.
I took some AZO yeast and medicated with some anti-yeast suppositories but it has been over a week and the smell has only increased. The brown, watery discharge has also come back. It literally smells like a rat crawled up there and died. Furthermore, I am beginning to feel very sore deep inside my vagina, close to my cervix, (almost like the onset of a PID). I did a pregnancy check: I am not pregnant. My husband swears he can 'feel' something rough at the end of my vagina during intercourse. I had a PAP smear/colposcopy 6 months ago and they told me that I was in the clear with regard to HPV (previously I had been on the alert to make sure nothing spread, but the doctors told me they hadn't seen any growth and that I was looking okay).
I've had ovarian cysts before, but they were removed. I've had a lot of women's issues in the past, but nothing this elusive or mystifying (or gross). Even my yeast infections are less smelly with less discharge than this! Help, does this sound like anything? I've looked at possible causes online and there are very few things that meet the criteria of fouls-smelling w/brown discharge with NO irritation and I am at a loss.
I'm due saturday. For the past 2 days I've had light yellow/white/clear mucus coming out of my vagina. I smelled it. There's no foul smell or anything. Just wondering if this is. my mucus plug or not.
View 4 RepliesI have a bad odor coming from my vagina when I sweat. It makes my pants smell in the crotch area. Sometimes it happens when I'm not sweating. I use a feminine wash and spray, but no change (good or bad). I asked my dr and she doesn't have an answer for me.
View 14 RepliesThe last couple of months, I have been suffering what I find to be an unusual vaginal odor. It is not "fishy" or "bleachy" but rather smells... metallic/coppery? Could also be described as a slightly "sour" smell?
Similar to the smell of menstruation-- yet occurs even when I'm not on my period. My discharge doesn't have this odor at all, and doesn't seem to be out of the norm. I can only smell it on my partner after we've had intercourse, etc
My doctor has prescribed me medication for yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis and both didn't seem to have any impact whatsoever on the issue.
I'm taking Blackmores Women's Bio Balance probiotics and I haven't seen any change either.
This is becoming very frustrating and putting a damper on my self-confidence and my sex life.
I'm 14 years old, 15 soon and I haven't had my period since around August (6 months). my period was regular until I got the birth control implant in my arm, (June) and then it was irregular. it would last for around two weeks and was light then it just stopped coming. I get sharp pains close to my hip bones and in my left side below my ribs. Recently I've had a lot of white discharge and a bad smell but today it was brown and smelled sour. I am sexually active but I am not pregnant.
View 1 RepliesI am 15 years old and I came on here to see if anyone can give me advice. I am a virgin and I have had my period for almost 3 years now...I have had a white discharge and a fishy smell all the time for about a year or longer! I thought it would just gradually go away but it doesn't...I am pretty afraid to go to the doctors due to it being summer and what not. But I am embarrassed. I don't like this at all D: Is this normal ? I had read on others like this but I just wanted to know if there was a way to stop this or if it's just normal.
View 1 RepliesThere's this brown stuff in my undies. it's been happening for about 3 days now, and won't go away I'm not cramping i feel totally normal... usually it's yellowish but at first clear. Idk what this is!?i wash it there but it's still brown, Idk what this is and i can feel it squirt out and its gross! Can anyone give me an explanation on what's going in? (I've never had this before and I've never had a period) I've had the yellowish stuff for about 2 years now it is usually clear then turns yellowish( sometimes it's like a gooey booger form). I have one more question.. it smells weird down there...ever since 3 years ago...does every woman/girl have their one sent or should they all smell like nothing? And if so then how do u make it smell like nothing?

View 1 RepliesI am a 22 year old female with excessive watery discharge. I soak my knickers sometimes. This does not smell like urine. Periods have been ok, although they sometimes come at different days of the month randomly. It's not really a new symptom and I've had it on and off. It usually happens at the back of the underwear and I'm having quite mild pain on the right side which can go to the left side as well, think it might be gas though since it does gurgle around there and I can feel the pain in my back a little as well. Been to the doctor, UTI and culture test came back negative.It was a bit better a few days ago with cranberry tablets. Could this be something related to my bladder or my vagina? I'm going to have a swab of my vagina next week to see whether there is an infection present. Thank you.
View 1 RepliesI feel my vaginal opening is small and tight, which causes pain and difficulty in penetration. I used to do digital penetration and am able to insert two of my fingers together, but it doesn't seem to dilate while penis insertion. What could be a possible treatment? Would dilators work or will I need to undergo a surgery?
View 1 RepliesI've been having greenish yellow vaginal discharge with no odor. I've been sexually active with one person and always use a condom. What could it be? Should I be worried?
View 1 RepliesToday I noticed a cluster of small bumps around the bottom of the opening of my vagina, they're kind of red. I am sexually active with my boyfriend and I'm slightly worried he could have given me an std. We have oral sex too though and there's nothing wrong with my mouth.. We have sex a lot so maybe it could just be irritation.. I'm not sure but I'm scared. I have pictures but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post them.

View 2 RepliesEvery time I have sex with my girlfriend or masturbate, straight after I come everything smells and it's quite off putting! It then hangs around for days. A previous girlfriend used to get bacterial vaginosis and the smell is similar! Is there anything to stop this for good?
View 1 RepliesI have a problem with the rotten smell after sex. I have been with the same man for over 20 years and the smell is everyday. A little history, I had a tubal in 95, a reversal in 2005. No std's, no yeast infections, I don't have a cycle anymore and went to obgyn about it. What she told me is sometimes partners are just allergic to each other. Does that make any sense at all? I have tried everything. My husband has trouble urinating afterwards. Yes, I think others can smell it also, that's how bad it is. Do I go to another doc, or what? I am 49 and health otherwise. 140 pounds. I recently had dentures in and was given penicillin so not to get an infection. The smell disappeared. But after the medicine was gone, the smell is back. I need some help, some say from tubal, some say bv, others say partner and some say menopause. What the heck can I do or what should I do?
View 1 RepliesI have an unusual smell down there. I am a woman who is a virgin, but my boyfriend and I have tried fingering until we could get used to the fact of touching each other. The smell is very pungent and doesn't exactly smell like pee, so I'm not sure what it is. It comes out of my vagina so I'm sure its not pee. He tells me it doesn't bother him but I'm worried it does. It bothers me so what is it?
