Question -
My girlfriend and me have been dating for 2 months now. This problem started couple of weeks back. I usually see her in the weekends (long distance relationship). What we see is that when we are having sex nowadays, there is this strong odor coming from her vaginal secretions. The odor is almost like the one we get when faeces mixes with water or something like it. We thot that this was because of her hightened sexual energy she is secreting some juices from her ass hole. I am fine with this, but she get totally turned off and feels very bad and embarrased about it. We are not having any kind of anal sex at all. She has never has that kinda odor coming from her previous sexual relations. And this leads to me thinking, is it because of me? This strong pungent odor remains for couple of days and goes away when we are not having sex. There are no rashes or other discharges from either of us, only this pungent odor which comes from all the secretions on her vagina or did it flow down from her ass hole?. We both have got our STD testing before we met and we were 'clean' when we got together. And FYI we are not using a condom. I would like to know how to remove the odor from our amazin sex life and what can we do to prevent it. Will using a condom prevent it? Did we contract any disease? Is it me? Do I do something about it? Thank you for your response
Answer -
If there is a foul smelling odor coming from the vagina, you have to rule out bacterial vaginosis. This is easily done by taking a culture of the vagina and sending it out to be analized. Then, if it is an infection, it can be treated with anitbiotics (usually Flagyl 500 mg twice a day for a week). I doubt that it has anything to do with leakage from the rectum. If she had any recent surgery, she may have developed a fistula from her rectum into her vagina (Rectovaginal fistula) but in the absence of any surgery or childbirth, this is unlikely. I would suggest tht she go to the gynecologist, explain the problem, and get a culture of the vagina. It may merely be a strong odor and not an infection.
AnswerAs I mentioned before, this odor may be a sign of bacterial vaginosis. It is not caused by previous surgery or childbirth. It is due to a bacterial infection in the vagina. This can come from her rectum or from her partner. Condoms will not prevent odors from the vagina. I still think she should have a culture done.
