What's That Smell?
Posted: 10-24-05 14:29pm

When I am aroused, my vaginal area smells
very bad. Also, the lubrication my body
produces is thick and white and gross
looking. Is this normal? What can I do
to remedy this?

I'm not to sure about the very bad
smell...But everyone is diffrent. If you
are very worried, go see a doctor. The
thick white discharge is sometimes normal
(atleast for me anyways!!) when I am
arroused my discharge is like that and it
is also that way close to time for my
period.
Hope I helped,
teresa

I think you should see a doctor, the smell
thing is not supposed to happen. I mean
all bodies are different and we smell
different to but if it stinks to
you-something needs to be checked out.

It could be an infection.

That happens to me whenever I am dealing
with bacteria vaginosis. No big deal go
to the doc they'll give you some gel or
some antibiotics and send you on your way.

It's probably just a case of bacterial
vaginosis. It's a common infection and
can be treated with antibiotics like
metrogel. You should see your
gynocologist though, because odor and
discharge isn't usually "normal". Best
of luck.

Ok, so the gyno said it wasnt bv, but that
it was a yeast infection (even tho I didnt
have any irritation) and slapped me with a
$60 rx that only worked for about a week
or so. Now the smell is back, still no
irritation, tho now there's not the
discharge. Now what?

Vaginal discharge isn't supposed to smell
really bad. That is a sign of a vaginal
infection.

Yeast Infection

Different people have slightly different
symptoms but if your doctor ran a test for
yeast and diagnosed you with a yeast
infection I would try an over the counter
yeast infection medicine. It doesn't cost
$60 and it works for me when needed. If
in seven days you still have symptoms I
would go back to the doctor, you may have
a much more serious problem.

So I noticed that my discharge when
aroused is really thick and white, not
lumpy or anything, but the same
consistency and look of say hand cream.
Also sometimes I get about as messy as my
boyfriend. Like some of my discharge will
run out after sex. And I know it's not
him, cuz he pulls out before he comes.
(don't worry, im on birth control :) ) so
is the discharge thing normal for anyone
else?
Oh, and is it normal for my vaginal area
to have that bad smell even right after I
take a shower?
(man I wish I wasn't so naive, but hey,
that's what this site is for, right? :) )

If it is a continual yeast
imbalance--acidophilis is good for that.
Either chewable or sugar free yogurt(if
you can find sugar free) with live
cultures, you have to eat the yogurt
everyday. Well, the pills too.

Most grocery stores have it now. Not
usually the chewable ones, but they do
have it.

Yeah just look on the side of the yogurts,
ive seen them in my grocery store, just
the cheap store brand too, on the side
youll see it says "contains live
cultures." so I don't think itd be too
hard to find, although I dont think I buy
the sugar free ones. Oh and did you ask
your doctor if maybe you needed to take
the medicine longer, or a higher does to
get rid of the yeast infection? Something
like that isnt good to be keeping around,
and no you shouldnt be having that bad of
a smell that you notice it after a shower.
I don't think thats considered 'normal'.
Also, have you tried maybe douching every
once and while? Would that maybe help to
prevent bacteria building up? Well best
of luck, and hope you get better!

I wont go anywhere near douching. From
what ive heard, it sounds like it causes
more problems than it fixes. Thanks for
the other advice tho. I'll check it out.
