if your p*ussy always smells like fish, what does it mean? even if you shower? could it be from having sex and not getting pap smears?

I agree you may have Bacterial Vaginosis or an STD, but only a medical practioner may diagnose. Especially worrisome if you have a fever, chills, nausea/vomiting or colored discharge. Go to a clinic or md today ! No douching or antibacterial sprays. And always use a condom ! Good idea for sexually active women to get a yrly pap. Good luck to you- just GO today. Things will be better. RN in CA

I agree that you should go to your doctor and get yourself checked out. It just may be Bacterial Vaginosis or an STD. Whatever you do, never use a douche. Your OBGYN will tell you the same thing too. Using a douche, kills all the good bacteria as well as the bad bacteria. This will only make things worse as it can leas to other problems such as yeast infections. Eating yogurt is a good way to replenish the beneficial bacteria in your body. Just make sure that you find an all natural kind that does not have sugar and says right on the label "Contains Live active cultures"

If your p*ussy smells of fish even after showering, run, not walk, to the nearest OB/GYN. It could mean many different things. The first, and the worst, thing it could mean is that you have an STD. Or, it could be you have an infection, or you need to learn proper washing techniques. The OB/GYN can assist you with all these things.

Generally, fishy smelling discharge usually indicates bacterial vaginosis......easily taken care of with a prescription of antibiotics from your doctor. This is very common and not an STD. PLEASE do NOT use a douche as some have suggested!!!!!!!!!! This could push the infection up further and cause serious complications!!! Good luck!

It usually means infection. Unfortunately, when you do not clean yourself properly, this can also occur. I don't know a woman who has not had a little fishy smell. Use a deodorizing spray made for that area. Can't be totally eliminated, just contained.

Get one of those hand held shower faucets with the jet stream and shove that jet stream right up there. not only is it pleasureable, but it takes care of the smell. a lot of time if you don't shower after sex this happens too.

You have a type of yeast infection called bacterial vaginosis. You need antibiotics to get rid of it. Go see an OB-GYN right away. This type of yeast infection wont go away with Over the Counter medications.

That is MOST DEFINITELY an infection. Go see a doctor asap before it gets worse. Once the doctor puts you on meds, it will be gone within a few days...and you will feel so much better.

This sounds like a common bacterial infection or possibly a STD.
Either way it could lead to Pelvic inflammatory disease which could put you in the hospital, cause loss of fertility or death. Get checked ASAP.

Go to your gyne!!! You could have a yeast infection, or another type of infection. It could also be an STD. This won't go away on its own, and the odor will only get worse!! SEE YOUR DR.
