I’ve been struggling with bv for years now but it’s not exactly a “fishy” smell down there.. it smells EXACTLY like raw chicken I went to get tested and everything came back negative. What’s going on sad I feel itchy and quite sore down there and the smell is just bad and really strong exactly like raw chicken. My discharge is very very sticky and thick with a lot of bubbles. My taste is bad also sad I taste horrible now but the chicken smell is just nasty. HELP

    It’s probably STDS then or some infection. Could be a yeast infection? Feeling quite sore down could be caused by various things then worrying part is the smell and the discharge. Your discharge shouldn’t be like that. Have you been tested for STDs?

      Make sure you go to your gynecologist then. I have no idea what else it could be it all seems to me like STDs or other infections. I’m sure the gynecologist will help you. Good luck.

      I will be making an appointment and going soon, I don’t care what it is I just want a solution already.. the part that sucks is that I’ve been in a relationship for 3 years and it’s the only guy I’ve ever done anything with if it’s std my heart will shatter.

    The are true signs of infection.i think you need to retest for possible STI.if positive start antibiotics as soon as possible.in the mean time try to drink lot of clear fluids which also help eradicate bacterial infections...

    Dont wear tight pants, drink coffee and use soap down there. Eat 8 oz of yogurt, drink a litter of water and don't smoke. Avoid sugary foods

    Process foods and sugaryp drinks as much as you can.

      Thank you for your suggestions. I rarely wear tight pants or even underwear as long as I’m home I’m in loose cotton shorts with no undies and I try to wear cotton underwear when I do go out and wear pants.

    Wow I’m sorry that you are experiencing this. Like the other suggestions you got, I would say the same thing... get tested again. Maybe try a different clinic this time and check back with your gyno. It’s best to have two opinions than one.

    Hey girl. I know exactly how u feel I am going through the same thing and its horrible. I feel disgusting no matter what and as soon as I get out of the shower I wanna get back in cause I never feel clean. I have tried everything and nothing works. I have been to the doc lots of times and they seem like they dont wanna help caused we have tried everything and nothing has worked. I dont know what else to do. If u find anything that helps with the smell please let me know. Thanks

I’m sorry you have to go through this as well I wouldn’t wish it upon my worse enemy. I will for sure let you know if anything helps or if I find the reason why this is happening. Good luck!
