Basically going on almost 3 years now I’ve been experiencing this horrible smell down there. I do believe the smell is internal (vag canal). No matter what I do and how many times I wash the smell never leaves. Apparently those around me can smell it and it smells like “sh**” . It’s ruining my life, lost my career from calling out from work out of embarrassment, been to several doctors and Gyn constantly they all say “you’re fine, no std and no smells” I really Really need a cure  HELP

    Check out Fowler GYN. Dr. Fowler changed my life after dealing with this and other issues for 5 years. Good luck!

    Take control of your life and know the doctors can me wrong. I am a Virgin and believe that I have bv but the tests come back negative every time. But i havethe foul oder and discharge sometimes. Just know that the tests are not 100 percent accurate.

    Hi, 

    I’m sorry you are going through this too and I’m sorry for the loss of your job. I’m seriously depressed over this entire situation too and I feel like I’ll neber have a Norma life and it sucks : ‘ ( I sometimes have the foul smell too and I have to shower twice and change my underwear twice a day. Have you been checked for BV?

      Hey Liz, thanks. 

       No I’ve never been tested for BV, I never knew about this condition in order for me to inform my gyn about testing me for it. However, last night I used a home remedy, I took coconut oil and rubbed it on my area and poured a little on the inside (it’s safe) some use it as a lubricant. Anyway I was curious to see if it would do something. Next morning I showered and reapplied the oil (same way again), went to work (12-4). Got home and did a smell check. I didn’t smell as I usually do (sour), I have a small feeling of hope with this process so I will continue to try this remedy (I reapply anytime after I go to the bathroom also)

      My pharmacist only carries rose hip 1000 MG , would there be a difference if I just get that one instead of 2000 Mg ? As far as the other probiotics they say they have to order it but can only order the 1000 mg rose hip

      The 2000 mg is just stronger but you can get the 1000 mg, you’ll probably just have to take two (one in the morning and one at night)
