The smell of BV

Posted , 10 users are following.

Hello ladies! This might be a weird question. I was wondering when you first got BV was the smell always fishy or was it something else? And each time it returned was it the same smell?

    Hmmm... Mine came back (I think), but smell is so different, kinda like a mix of yeast/ammonia (this is the closest I can describe) or even better, but funny I remember when my female hamster was in heat, she was producing very similar smell lol and I notice in the morning watery clear discharge. Didn't have any discharge first time when smell was fishy.

      snap you're in my position at first it was fish then the sewers yuk

      now since I used boric acid I get water discharge only when I sleep next morning I've wet pants that smell like wee /urine chemical smell.

      but I'd rather have that than the sewers and the fish smell .

      I can sit next to people comfortably now cuz I'm fresh until I'm asleep I'm single also

      Yup, this is how it is with me when it came back. Clear watery discharge and chemical, ammonia smell. I have gyno appointment next Friday and I don't know if I should wait until then or try hydrogen peroxide douches for a week.

      hey ericka yes I'm ok I'm coping my immune system is down I think and I put apple cider vinegar in the bath and its completely fxxked my vag up on every level all because of bv so annoying.

      I haven't been taking any boric acid for about 10 days and I certainly can not take boric acid now with my vag the way it is.

      are you ok ?x

      Hi im ok, ive learn to cope with this ive accept this but before i didnt, idk maybe im getting older thats why, i do have a normal sex life i get wet i have normal periods etc... i started taking the antibiotics again orally, i started yesterday, but i have an appointment today my yearly check up, i will discuss this with my doctor and see from there, i also dont think its a good idea to douche any kind of way rather its peroxide, or acv, all that do it push the infection up further and make it worse, our vagina naturally cleans its self thats why we have discharges, with now irritations etc...i just want mine to be normal again thats all!
