A few months ago I started having pain low down straight after a period, legs aching, felt tired, doctor said UTI took antibiotics, urine came back negative, tested positive for BV, more antibiotics and was fine, fast forward to a month ago, strange smell is back, doctor said BV usually happens again not long after the first time, more antibiotics, swab came back negative, pain then went away but smell remained, for the last week the pain has come back, I am due on in a week so may be tied to that but I can’t shift the smell and it’s making me anxious, I feel really self conscious about it and I’m worrying it’s something more severe even though I have had a smear and was all fine, I have even had an internal ultrasound and she said all looks normal, didn’t spot any obvious signs of infection (PID) or any problems with ovaries.
The smell is now affecting my daily life, I get nervous at work in case anyone can smell it, I am obsessed with asking my husband about it and i am driving him mad to the point I just sit surfing the internet about it and then getting upset.
I don’t know what else to try
The smell is a musky smell not fishy, kind of like stale smell wee smell Blush

Could you possibly go back to the doctor's or see another doctor?

Gosh OP, with all the tests you have already had this has me a bit stumped. Does your husband agree that the smell is there? Does he agree with your description of it, and that it is as strong a smell to him as it is to you? We are all going through so much stress at the moment that I believe that sometimes in our minds things can seem much worse than they are, but also that our bodies are strange things, and can react physically to things that we thought were only problems with our thoughts. I will look into your symptoms some more, but if you would give your husband's opinion, that could be very helpful. For now I am sending you some flowers (although lately the picture that comes up is a different one to the one I pressed!) Flowers

Are you incontinent without realising it? Maybe it is wee smell?
