as my name suggests i have a smelly lady garden - help ???

[smellyladygarden]

for thw past 3 weeks i have really smelt yucky down below - i bathe everyday and so i dont think its because i dont wash enough
it smells sweaty/fishy and im getting quite paranoid about it - also i have noticed my underkrackers feel wet most of the time so am changing them twice a day or wear a panty liner
any ideas
am a regualr but im so have name changed

Sounds like vaginal bacteriosis - off to the GP with you smellychuff!

yup. gp. if it's really bad he'll be able to diagnose you from the car.

If it's really bad the neighbourhood cats try to break into your house!

Bacterial vaginosis.
Get yourself to the GP, very easily sorted, but yep reeks.

oh no not the gp - how utterly embarrassing - is it a std ? or like thrush ? - cant i just get something over the counter?
have any of you had it ?

It does sound like BV.
It is really vile and smelly, the dr will give you antibiotics and within a day or two the smell will go. They will probably swab and if you are unlucky confirm there and them that it is indeed very smelly!

oh no i cant let the doc go down "there" oh no really cant they just take my word for it

You could tell them you are very embarresed and if they need a swab ask if you could do it yourself in the loo?

Yes, I have had it, yes I did have to get the swab. yes it was hideously embarrassing.
Sorry but it's what you need to do to get rid of it.
They will have smelled seen it before, it's very common and no, not an STD.

Tis up to you, but the smell is going nowhere without treatment.

Take a canary in a cage with you, if the canary dies, the GP will probably take your word for it

UCM, is that you?

Poor Op!!

Lol WMMC, not theard that in yonks

I had to swab my own groin (not my word) last week for MRSA.
Ywas a tad odd, and I wasn't sure where I was meant to swab really, so went for the fanjo front, but not in.
As it happens I don't have MRSA, nor swine flu but that's a different story.

Poor thing, I had this when I was 16 and put up with it for a year before getting treatment as I was so embarrassed!
It got so bad it smelt like farts in the end, and all my class mates could smell it but never clicked that it was me!
If you really feel too embarrassed to have an examination then describe your symptoms and ask for a broad base anti-biotic such as metronidazole, a medical domestos that will kill anything off! You may need to buy some thrush cream for after though as it's really strong. Good luck, and I hope you find the courage to be examined

think i will make an appointment to see a lady doctor ,oh god why me

I used to get it quite often. There was a stage where I was on ab's every 4 months for it.
It is really common though, is just an off-balance of the natural bacteria that live down there.
Your gp would have seen it hundreds of times and won't make an issue out of it, I promise.
Washing does not help BV.
I use Femfresh to wash down there now as it doesn't have soap in it, so is more natural.
Also, thongs are supposed to cause/make the condition worse, which is why I now wear massive knickers! But would rather have a VPL than a smelly minge

pmsl at this thread

sorry slg

by any chance have u left a tampon in.i had the same prob as u long time ago now.but it cleared it self up.not tampon just use to be so aware of the smell my self.

mother3?

Yup, soudns like BV. But go in and say 'I think I have BV'
NOT
'My fanjo smells minging'

hahahah no i dont use tampons so no chance
i too am finding this thread funny dispite my smelly mingealina

Yeah well if you feel embarrassed about seeing the doc just look up the threads on bartolyns cysts on here. Okay they don't actually smell but when the GP has to examine your lady bits - oh and then you hit the ceiling as she suddenly finds the problem - well, they really do see everything...

I thought that some people just smell strong. I do. Mine isn't as bad as Op's. But I do smell strong. I know I do. Dh doesn't seem to mind/care. I just assumed it was normal.

If you are a regular you will probably my recall my 'I appear to be growing a bollock' thread SLG (that was a cyst too) - so you know I've flashed the fadge at the GP before. Best thing is, go in say 'I have these symptoms, I think it's X, do you concur?' Mostly they nod sagely and write up scripts at this point without you having to do a show and tell

I sometimes notice a strong smell. Has been worse of late so I have wondered if it could be BV or I just stink.

Maybe I need a trip to the docs too.
