A Fishy Smell Down there? What does it Mean?!!!

A Fishy Smell Down there? What does it Mean?!!!

 

What does it mean?? 🐟🐠
 The End of the World??? 😫😭

No, it’s not!

Seriously, no girl wants to have a fishy smell messing up the freshness of their Vagina 😫😟

But a lot of ladies experience a mysterious smell down there at some point, prompting them to wonder why on earth it smells like rotten fish 😭



Well, this unusual scent should be a solid tip-off that something is off with your Vajayjay and it’s very much likely that the root cause is Bacterial vaginosis (BV).

 This happens when the good bacteria that is supposed to protect you from infection is disrupted and the bad bacteria invade.

My dear, if you have BV, you’re not alone ooo, it is the most common VAGINAL infection in women between the ages of 15yrs and 44yrs

.

Here are other symptoms alongside the fishy smell even though some women don’t have symptoms;

  • White or gray discharge
  • Sometimes itchiness in and outside the Vagina
  • Burning after you pee which is very noticeable after sex

Any woman can get BV, but you’re at higher risk if you;

  • Smoke
  • 
Douche – Don’t wash inside your vagina. It’s a self-cleaning organ!
  • 
Women sexually active especially those with multiple or new sex partners

So in rare cases, it is also possible that a fishy smell is a symptom of something besides BV🤷‍♀️

The main possibility is Trichomoniasis, a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a parasite

.

Fortunately, these infections are simple to diagnose and treat by a doctor. For BV, a Boric acid suppository like the Tielle Intimates Boric Insert is the best treatment, and don’t forget to maintain your overall feminine hygiene with a 100% Organic wash like our Tielle Intimates Nectar Feminine Cleanser
