Wondering if any of you lovely ladies can help me.
About three months ago I noticed a wiff from my vagina. No discharge or itch or any other sign. It's not a fishy smell it's just a bit of a nose wrinkling odour but not disgusting. It is defiantly coming from inside as I thought maybe I had left a tampon in so had a rummage around and when I took my fingers out the smell was on my fingers
( not envy )
Anyway couldn't feel anything so treated myself for BV and that seemed to do the trick until next month. Now I'm beginning to notice a pattern. Around a week and a half from the end of my period (when I've worked out I'm fertile/ovulating) the smell seems to appear. Lasts a week then goes away for roughly the weekish before my period is due and then I have a normal period.
Just to give details I don't use high perfumed shower gels I use a non perfumed baby soap as I read that was very mild and a flannel. I shower daily and in the evening I wash at the sink. I don't use the soap directly against my skin. I fill the basin and get a lather going with the bar of soap and then use the weak soapy water to wash. Then pat dry, wear cotton pants etc I've never worn underwear under my pjs so plenty oppurtunity for airing lol
Oh should mention I've just had my smear November 2019 and all was good. A couple of years ago I did have an issue of bleeding between my period which I went to the dr about I was giving blood tests and a scan of my stomach and an internal. Basically the dr chalked it up to hormomes and I was put on the pill for 6 months and that seemed to settle everything back into a rhythm again. No issues since. Any ideas ladies??
Sorry about the length of my msg but wanted to give as much detail as possible
