OK I'm typing this with my fingers metaphorically covering my face in embarrassment. I.have noticed recently that after I eat fish, I smell fishy down below. It isn't BV, thrush or anything like that, and it goes after a day or so. But for that period, it smells like the Tesco fish counter! I am obsessively clean and use Femfresh to ensure my ph levels aren'the affected, and it never happens unless I eat seafood. Its noticeable too - my husband quietly mentions it when it happens (in a kind, non judgey way just to alert me.in case I didn't know). Am I a freak?
Not sure if it's relevant but I had bariatric surgery (sleevectomy) 4 years ago and it has only happened since this surgery so I wondered if it was how my digestive system now worked? Anyone else in this situation and do I have to give up the seafood?
