TMI topic!
i gave birth 5 weeks ago. I had a second degree tear and for first few weeks there was bleeding which is common I think - I searched and it came up lochia? This went away (bleeding) and so stopped wearing pads. I always shower and just use water have done even prior as have history of thrush!
I thought things were improving but lately when I am sitting (I can smell though just wear gown/pjs in house) that there is this strong odour - I can’t describe maybe bioish/musty? I have washed daily and always just use water down there as history of thrush prior to pregnancy. No sex since baby was born but there is more hair there as normally i’d be waxed every 4 weeks but not had since birth
it does feel slighty irritated itchy at times labia/clit area but goes away..its more this smell I’m
I noticed with yeast infection there is never typically strong odour. According to google it says the same and BV is normally fishy smell if right?
is this common and a birth related thing? - 6 week check up soon…
