Why does my vagina smell like fish?

my vigina smells like fish? whys that and I have not had sex or done anything and it smells really bad and I am embarraced to see my boyfriend incase he can smell my vigina I was my self 2 times a day down there and it still smells and it is itch but...

thats only the hair and I shave my pubic hairs as well and I am 13 years old

um that sucks... you could have a bacteria infection... that really sucks... take a hot bath with detol in it... its like really good antibacteria stuff... wish you luck... that really sucks a lot...

Yeast infection! Common name - thrust

DONT WORRY!!! See a Doctor and they will give you a tablet to fix it.

best things to help:
no sugar or very liitle sugar (yeast feed on sugar)
bread is bad, vegemite is bad. tomato's - bad

yoghurt is good
lots of yoghurt - natural yooghurt is the best with plenty of good bacteria (its an imbalance of good and bad bacteria)

cranberry is also good (you can drink cranberry juice or get cranberry tablets)

inner Health plus capsules are good too!

wear cotton underwear. Do not waer tight clothes (pants). Put on a skirt - let your vagina breathe.
do not wash with soaps/deoderant etc. - just let plain water run over and wash
do not wipe hard- fuwill further irritate.

see a doc and they'll give you a tablet to fix it.

yeah so a couple of months ago I had the same problem...and it hasnt really gone away...use vagisal cream incase its a yeast infection, thats what I had, the cream is something you can by at like cvs or rite aid...it stopz the itch and the cream has a fresh smell so you wont smell...k good luck!!!

honey first of all you dont need to be having sex at age thirteen. second of all it could be a std. but lets hope not lets just hope its a yeast infection go to walmart and get some monstate it really good its cream that you put up inside of you for like seven days and if that dont work then you really do need to go see a doctor for your best interest... honey just be safe there is to much stuff out here going around. and your to young to sexually active...

im a younger age i have the same proplem it can be caused due two discharge and if it turns grey green or yellow that can be a std (sexual transmitted diesease ) also try showering more . or try fem fresh it comes in wipes bottles for shower its hard u dont dare have sex unless a boy finds it horrible and he tells people (bad) dont give in the best thing is fem fresh or showering more !

Well, if you're sexually active it could be Trichamonais or something. It's symptoms include a fishy smell and itching. If you're not sexually active, you could have BV (Bacterial Vaginosis). Either way you need to see a doctor and let him know you're symptoms because either one can cause other problems if left untreated. I must warn you though...there is a possibility that you won't be able to get rid of the BV no matter what you do or the medications you take for it. Trust me, I know :-(

lmao, 'morthius' comment made me giggle.

well, you certainly shouldn't be having sex at 13
I had it at 14 and I regret that to be honest.
it's just slaggish to be having sex at that age.

and two, maybe you should wash more often and you wouldn't smell, my boy mate said you should maybe use soap and stuff as no lad likes a smelly fanny - his words not mine aha.

I agree with everyones comment on here, bad and good as some made me laugh you slag

- good luck anyways x

hey I have hair down there too!..it's normal...and if your worried about your boyfriend smelling it...don't worry it smells because of the hair..the hair makes it sweat a lot...that makes the smelly smell
some advise...when your showering make sure you wash your vigina really good...and if your going to have sex...right before that wash it so then if he does smell it...it would smell like soap...then he will know you wash it and are a clean girl

because ya using soap wots perfumed try shower gel

she never said she was going to have sex and he was going to go down on her

Don't you people read? She has not had sex or done anything with her boyfriend so back off that crap. It's not an STD.

There is a new product made by vagisil - it is a testing kit that can tell you if you have a yeast infection. Go buy one at CVS and take the test, it's very simple. If you have one, buy vagisil cream and the infection should clear up in a few days.

Antibiotics don't work for yeast infections - I'm not sure where these people above have gotten their info. In fact, when I have been given antibiotics for sinus infections in the past, they have also given me diflucan to precvent the antibiotics from CAUSING a yeast infection.

Cranberry juice is for UTI's urinary tract infections, not yeast infections.

You are 13 so you probably don't need to go to the gyno just yet. Hopefully you can talk to your mom or an older sister. Just know that the fish thing is a woman thing and we've all been there.

Good luck to you and don't worry too much.

maybe something such as bacteria, etc had gone it. you should try using Guava (or other herbal) soaps to wash, make
sure you are washing properly. drink lots of water.

I am not a girl but I was told by one if you wipe your pices upward you can get pices in your vigina and if you use that method frequently that would probally be the reason why

Dont worry girls, it does not sound serious and your Doc can give you something that will quickly clear it up.

Sensible thing to come on here and ask for advice but ignore the pathetic comments and jokes on here at your expense.

You may only be 13 but you are far more mature than those on here having fun about waht must be a very serious concern and worry for you.

Be strong, ignore the fools and hope that this has all been sorted out by now.

honey you could have a bacterial infection. you dont have to have sex to get this. I have a aunt who also had this as a child she was also told she may not get to have children that it could have made her infertal, but today she has to healthy children. you need to go to the doctor as soon as possible this a pretty serious thing cause im pretty sure that one day you want children I hope that you have at least told your mom so she can help you find a gyno and go with you. I ve been told some of the reasons for this is natural but also a issue of wiping. dont wipe back to front this puts waste in your vaginal area causing infection and also wash your hands before and after.I hope this helps you and I hope take care of it soon. a doctor is your best help. ashley

You probably have bacterial vaginosis. It just means by washing so much you messed up the natural bacteria that is suppose to be in there and you were more succeptable to infections and bacteria. Go to the doctor for antibiotics and it should go away in about a week.

Im thirteen..Mine smells like that too but only on my period and it itches sometimes down there also. I really dont think there's anything wrong with you.But if you think it smells that bad you should buy a vaginal deoderant from a drug store, or schedule an appointment to the doctors office.
hope I helped, xo angie

omg did any of these people read what you wrote??? She never said her boyfriend goes down on her and how can she have an STD she said she has NEVER had SEX... Hun its probably some type of infection and can be cured just go to a doctor dont be scared to talk to your parents about it... the longer you wait the worse it will get...

to riken. If you're going to college to be a doctor, I would advise you to learn how to spell college first!
