Why all of a sudden I have a fishy odor down there?

[Anonymous]

I'm a very clean female and i like to keep my body clean. Last year I had a yeast infection for the first time and since then I been taking care of my body and especially down there even more. For a good while i wasn't having sex because my boyfriend and i weren't talking but just last weekend we were together and he came over to my house, I knew we were going have sex so I got all clean shave etc ( I had no type of smell down there )

We had sex a very rough sex intense I would say. While intercourse I didn't smell anything. I noticed it a day after I took a shower and thought is probably because I didn't shower that same day but no I been having this fishy smell for day now. I haven't tried to clean my Vag inside because I don't want no bacteria to go in there but why did I get that fishy smell all of a sudden when i started to have sex with my boyfriend if this never happend. What should i do?

See a gynecologist. You have bacterial vaginosis which is likely due to you being too clean down there and then having sex.

"Bacterial vaginosis tends to affect women of childbearing age. Activities, such as unprotected sexual intercourse or frequent douching, can increase a person's risk."

sorry for my ignorance but what is childbearing age?

[abc3643]

How old are you?

Child-bearing age means the age of bearing a fertile woman, so anytime between menarche and menopause.

[abc3643]

being a fertile woman, not bearing.

I'm only 22

Yes, which means you are of child-bearing age. If you can have a period, then you are of child-bearing age because, if you can have a period, the you can "bear a child" (give birth to a child).

Has your diet changed? Are you more/less active recently?
Also, sometimes the smell changes depending on the day of the menstrual cycle.
