I cant tell if my smell is normal down there?

Unread post by emmeline »

So basically, I have a sort of tuna/fish ish smell down there and I know it's gross but it's always sort of been there and it changes when I eat strong foods like garlic and it will smell garlicky. I don't think it's BV? I don't have any other symptoms but I'm not really educated on the symptoms. I wouldn't describe it as a rotting fish to be honest but no-one really wants their puss smelling like a tuna. Or garlic. It's not a bad smell I'd say(or I'm just desensitised to it) but it makes me worry.

I go into a Google frenzy every once in a while trying to diagnose myself which doesn't help. I'm also wondering if it could just be hormonal and puberty related? I'm fifteen.

I reaaallly hope it's not always like this cause it'll be very awkward during sex when I get older. Please help!!

Also massive thanks you all of you because this is such a great service and I'm SO GLAD I found it ❣️❣️ big love
