Does eating fish make your bits smell of fish?

[Fishyfanny]

Because it seems to with me. I had a fish supper last night & now I honk of fish from the minge region. It's horrible!
I've noticed this before. Please tell me it's not just me?

I think it's just you...

I've found it to be the case with onions

Ooh, are you a troll fishy?

No that's called Bacterial Vaginosis dear. Get thee to a doctor posthaste.

I promise you I'm not a troll. I have name changed though. Well, wouldn't you?!
I've had BV before. And that was a slightly different smell (TMI?)
This happens very specifically after I eat fish. It must be to do with that.

Did you drop some fish on your fanny, maybe there's a fish flake stuck in some pubes?

It happens to my DD as well if she eats a lot of fish.

Not uncommon.

If I eat garlic onions or curry type spices. The following day if I sweat a lot at work or the gym when I go to have a wee my bits do smell of those particular odours. Can't say I've ever noticed it with fish or seafood. We do sweat out certain odours depending on what we eat. Also asparagus makes a person urine smell strong the following day.

It may be bacterial vaginosis. Or it could be a condition called fish odour syndrome (really). People with FOS have a compromised ability to metabolise trimethylamine - a compound found in fish, and also other foods e.g. eggs I think. As a result they excrete this compound in their sweat etc and it smells of rotten fish. Its a genetic condition, if you inherit two copies of the gene (one from each parent) you get the full blown FOS. But if you have just one copy of the gene you can have a milder form where you may just have fishy smelling vaginal discharge when you eat fish.

Have you always had this or just recently?

Nah just quite common to smell a bit fishy after eating fish.
More folk with same prob.

Yes me! I've never asked or told anyone about it!

I'm sure it's not an infection as it is only there for a day after I eat fish!

I now avoid fish.

Glad it's not just me, only began in my early 30's.

I have this and I think its tmau or a version of it
I can't eat fish , bread, nuts, cauliflower, broccoli , peas, eggs, beef steak the list goes on but the smell always seems to be coming from vagina even though im very clean.been to gp so many times and fobbed every time and been tested for everything except for tmau .I was told im imagining it but even my kids notice the smell.since I have cut .those food out I rarely suffer with it.

Yes me too, and also DD. It's not fish odour syndrome/ TMAU, nor BV, as it only occurs after eating fish. I think it is quite common. I wouldn't worry.

Me too! Only notice it when I get in shower the next morning, then it seems to go.

I heard that if the fish is god quality it smells in ur urine

I never eat fish and having read this don't think I ever will

It happens to me too. I definitely don't have BV, perfectly healthy minge. All returns to normal shortly thereafter.
It's more so for fish like haddock, not oily fish.
Oh and it affects cocks too...

I feel sick

Not uncommon , definitely a thing.

Same thing happened to me after eating crab and shrimp

You aren't alone in this, there is a rare genetic medical condition called trimethylaminuria or 'fish odour syndrome', it causes that fishy smell in the genital area and some times other areas you sweat from. www.nhs.uk/conditions/trimethylaminuria/

Ohhhhh

Jesus. This is a 7 year old thread. Why resurrect it to just give some very late advice?

It’s not just you. It also happens to me. It’s only been happening since menopause so I assume something is different in my vagina that causes the smell.
