Скачать или смотреть Is my vaginal discharge abnormal if it is smelly?

Vaginal discharge is abnormal if it is green or yellow coloured, and it can be a sign of an infection if there is a signficiant change in smell.

A healthy and clean vagina has a certain natural scent and taste that should not be unpleasant. You should get to know your ‘normal’ smell so you can understand when something is up, but it can sometimes be a bit 'fishy' and that is not abnormal!. You may notice the smell change at different times of your cycle, such as during your period.

If you feel the smell is prominent or has changed from before, it can mean the good bacteria in the vagina have become unbalanced and you may need some treatment!

Factors that affect the odor of the vagina include antibiotic use, douching, spermicide, new sexual partners, and frequency of sex.
Your diet, such as eating garlic, onions, brussels sprouts and red meat, can create a different odor in the vagina.
Hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or menopause can also alter your scent.


If you or your partner notices an offensive, fishy, yeasty, or foul odour, it is a good to speak to your doctor who may recommend a swab to check for any infections.
