Vaginal Fishy Odor and Itching: Causes and Remedies
Vaginal fishy odor and itching
Gynecologist/Obstetrician
Answered on 8th Aug '24
A fishy smell from the vagina with itching often signals bacterial vaginosis. Discharge may seem thin, while urination causes pain. The vagina loses its normal bacterial balance, letting harmful bacteria take over. Antibiotics prescribed by doctors can treat bacterial vaginosis by restoring this balance. It's crucial to visit a gynecologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am mathumitha my age is 21 I am trying to conceive I had my ovulation on June 30 and after 14 days I started bleeding not heavier as my period but it was for 4 days I had a unprotected inter course on my ovulation day I should know that iam pregnant or not I have headache nausea and lower back pain
Female | 21
The spotting you are having after ovulation might be implantation bleeding, which is the condition when the egg that has been fertilized sticks to the uterine lining. This is the most common cause of light bleeding. Morning sickness, aching head, and throbbing back are the three most common of them mentioned among the early pregnancy signs. Sometimes, your hunch might be right and you could become pregnant. However, one should also be aware that these signs could be due to other issues. If you are worried, consult a gynecologist.

I have 5months secondary amenorhea due to PCOS and I have sex, what contraceptive can I use?
Female | 28
You can consider birth control. It can regulate periods and manage symptoms. Combined oral contraceptives contain hormones that prevent pregnancy and regulate cycles. Always consult a gynecologist to choose the best option for you.

Hi , I have been having problems since two months ago. I feel pain during sex , there are certain positions that make me feel that pain. I also get tearing everytime after sex.
Female | 20
Experiencing pain and tearing after sex could mean vaginismus, a condition where vaginal muscles tighten involuntarily. Ouch! It's crucial to talk to a gynecologist – they'll diagnose the issue properly.

My question is more of a concern. I haven't seen my period in over 3 months and it's scary because I haven't had sex. I went ahead to take both the home test and visited a lab nearby for a pregnancy test and it both came out negative. Please what could be wrong? The last time I had this issue was in my 200lv when I was super stressed out due to the number of classes I had but that was years ago. I work from home so I don't really go out much and I don't even exercise so it can't be due to stress or intense exercise like I read. I'm really worried. Please help
Female | 24
Irregular periods have many causes, including the fact that you have never been sexually active and the pregnancy tests were negative. All of these factors can be stress, eating abnormalities, thyroxin problems, and hormonal disruptors. A consultation with a gynecologist is a smart option because they already know that you have some disorders and it can be helpful for your cycle regulation.

I have missed my periods for three months
Female | 17
Missing periods for 3 months isn't normal. Stress causes irregular cycles. Big weight gain or loss disrupts hormones. Conditions like PCOS prevent normal ovulation. You might feel tired, bloated, moody. If issues continue, see a gynecologist for medical guidance.

There is no need for a surrogacy plan for cervical stitch in between the pregnancy and plan for pregnancy and do investigate for diabetes before pregnancy and get treated before conception.

Female | 23
Bleeding after using the unwanted kit can vary from person to person, and the duration can also differ. While bleeding can continue for several days after using the kit, if it persists for 18 days and you have concerns, it's recommended to consult a gynecologist in your area.

I am having pcod. I had IUI on 8th May. Doctor suggested progesterone for 15 days. I am on my progesterone dose and very light spotting.
Female | 27
PCOS causes not only problems with menstruation but also with ovulation, and anovulation, as it happens. When you're on progesterone therapy, you can get spotting due to hormone level instability. Spotting is a common sign of changes in the female body but usually is physiological. Except in rare cases, spotting during progesterone treatment is not a big deal but you must continue to follow all the prescriptions and keep your psychiatrist informed as well.

I am 30years old and married. It's my third day if period... It's not heavy but I am passing gel like stringy clots, that cause weakness in the body, dizziness, I have lower abdominal pain as well as lower back pain, accompanied with dry cough at times and lastly my breasts feel heavy and tender. My period is usually heavy for the first 3days, this time it's clotting with pain and the blood flow is light.
Female | 30
Stressing about the clots, similar to gel, appearing when you’re on your period could happen as a result of hormonal changes or low blood flow. The weakness, dizziness, abdominal, back, or chest pain, and cough you feel can be associated with your menstrual cycle. All you need to do to feel better is find a comfortable position, rest, drink enough water, and use warm packs. Please visit a gynecologist if these signs continue affecting you.

I am freaking out about my chances of contracting stds. I had unprotected sex yesterday due to my bad judgement, i dont know the person sexual history. I am currently on Prep and took doxypep right after. How soon can/should I get tested?
Male | 29
If you engage in unprotected sex and you have a fear of getting STDs, you need to be examined now. It is possible that even though you are on PrEP and you have consumed Doxypep after the encounter you may still contract a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It is advisable to see a gynecologist, or a urologist for your test, and a future plan on how to protect yourself.

Did BHCG 35 days after intercourse and the result is 2. I have irregular menstrual cycle and never know when it will come. 25 days after last intercourse, I had 3-4 days light bleeding with brown discharge. Yesterday did Clearblue test (almost 2 months after sex), not first urine, and it came back negative. Is pregnancy definitely ruled out? I don't feel any symptoms except gingivitis.
Female | 28
A blood hCG test is a sensitive test that can detect pregnancy earlier than most urine pregnancy tests. A result of 2 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are still concerned.

Hello, I have been taking birth control pills every day for 3 months. I don't drink at the same time every day, but I always drink at night. I took a 7-day break. And on the first day of this seven-day break, we were together and it emptied into me. What are my chances of getting pregnant? Will I get pregnant? Birth control pills are said to protect for 7 days. Should I stop suspecting in this case?My other two questions are: Should I take the morning after pill? If my period doesn't start in this 7-day break, does it mean I'm pregnant?
Female | 21
Yes there is still a possibility of pregnancy, although the risk may be relatively low. Taking the morning-after pill can be an option to further reduce the risk, but it is best to consult with a gynecologist first.

Female | 17
You need to understand why your periods have stopped so you should not panic after missing a few months. Some causes may include stress, change in weight, or hormonal imbalance. It can be dangerous to take pills when you do not know the real reason behind this. Instead, seek other gynecologist's opinions or see a specialist for more tests and advice.

I am 26 year old Female. My periods are 7 days late
Female | 26
If your period is 7 days late, don't panic. It could occur because of several reasons such as stress, variations in weight, or hormonal disorders. Other symptoms include, for example, bloating and breast tenderness. To get back on track you should try to relax, eat well, and get good sleep. If this situation persists or you have concerns, notify a gynecologist to see if you can get some advice.

Female | 23
If you missed your period and your pregnancy test is negative, it may be that your menstrual cycle is just delayed due to stress, changes in diet or exercise, and hormonal imbalances. But if you continue to experience irregular periods or missed periods, you must talk to a Gynecologist.

I wanted to delay my periods for 3 days so I started taking premoult n tablet 1 day before the estimated period Date but the next day I got my period and still continuing the tablet What to do tp stop and delay the period
Female | 23
Waiting for the menstruation to show up using the Premoult N tablet might not always produce the aimed effect. A gynecologist recommended doing a clinical examination to establish the origin of the irregularity of the period and discuss a treatment plan that is relevant to the disorder.
