Hi Dr.Gian thanks for your time.... well before i lost my virginty i got this discharge but really didnt pay mind..... like about 8 months after being with my boyfriend i got this fishy odor and it was kind of greenish and yellowish,but once again i didnt worry but it smelled..... when i get my period and it leaves i get that fishy odor for like 2 weeks and its extremly embarassing because it smells and its constantly there... i was thinking it was bacterial vaginosis.. and it comes out like 24/7... but after the 2 weeks the odor leaves but i still have discharge... what can it be doctor? i would really preciate your help and advice and once again thank you..... i'am extremly worried...

I think your diagnosis is good and consider also a trichomonas infection. Have an exam and a test for vaginosis/vaginitis . The treatment is easy and they are both not only treatable but also curable.
In good health

Hi,

You want to check into the possibility of recurrent vaginal infection due to yeast and/or trichomonas.

Be well.

Dear Dr. Gian,
I have noticed a yellow discharge in my panties and a strong vaginal smell. I bathe every other day. Would I have this discharge and smell if I bathed every day. I have douched a lot in the past month. At least once a week, because I have very, very, dry skin, and if I bathe everyday, I am misarable with itchy, flakey dry skin. I am married and my husband and I only have sex once a week. I wash up before sex. I noticed last week that my clitoris was itching. But I am not itching now. I just stink down there and have some yellow discharge. I am on Depo-Provera shots every 3 months only for endometriosis. My husband has had a vasectomy. Could my shots be causing this smell? Please email me and let me know what you think.
Thank You,
Jenny

Hi Jenny

VAGINITIS is a possible situation. VAGINITIS means "vaginal inflammation." and vaginal discharge and genital itching are its main symptoms. Vaginitis may occur because of chemical irritation (e.g. excessive douching, or excessive use of over the counter yeast medication) or may have an infectious cause. The are three main classes of vaginitis : Candidiasis (thick, white, cottage cheese-like, non-odorous discharge) Trichomonas (foamy, yellow-green foul-smelling discharge) Bacterial vaginosis (white-gray discharge, fishy odor). I don't see a relationship to the Depo shots. Check with your Doc and consider a cycle of Metronidazole.

Wish you well.

Dr. Gian
