How do I know if I have a vaginal
infection? My boyfriend and I have been
having sex. He is uncircumsized and
didn't shower when we had sex. I know he
was dirty. I'm wondering if I could have
a vaginal infection because I just got my
period today and it smells very different
and bad. Before my period it didn't
smell so bad...

Usually symptoms for different infections
are.. Thick lumpy discharge, smells
different (sometimes referred to a "fishy"
smell), colored discharge, itchy, burning,
just anything that doesn't seem normal to
you. Best thing to do is get into the doc
and if you have an infection, they'll give
you medicine for it.
Also, have your bf wash his hands and his
private parts before you do anything.
Don't let him use the same towel, wash
rag, loofa, or anything that touches your
area. Men have a lot of bacteria down
there after a full day from sweating and
what not. Doesn't harm them (unless they
don't shower regularly), but causes major
infection in females.
