About four weeks ago I slept with a friend and we didn't used any kind of protection, but ever since then my white discharge has a smell. I thought it would go away but it hasn't. Can anyone help me or tell me why it happened?

it depends what it smells like and if you have any other symptoms. if it smells like wet bread, looks like cottage cheese, and you want to scratch it with sand paper its a simple yeast infection. a fish like odor indicates vaginosis and is usually treated by flagyl, a prescribed antibiotic. sometimes, after your period traces of blood remain for a few days, and the bacteria this blood attracts makes a sweet pungent smell. if this is the problem it will resolve on its own. call your dr and describe your symptoms to the nurse- they will instruct you what to do further.

This could be the start of a yeast infection since they are commonly passed from a male that has slept with a female that had one then slept with someone else. Or it could be a bacterial infection in that case the doc will give you flagil to clear it up..it's an atibiotic. ....Go to the doc if it is something serious it could do irreversible damage....and please use protection no matter how well you know the person.....

You sound like you have bacterial vaginanosis. It's pretty common and it's most likely from the change of ph in your system. You can read up on it on like a webMD type site. Some women are more prone to it than others. Like pregnant women (yes, I got it when I was pregnant). It's something that can go away on it's own and then it flares back up, so go to your doctor. Don't worry they have seen worse. Good luck!

If it has an odor that means you need to see the doc. Since the sex was unprotected you may want to ask the doc to check for any STD's when you see him.

i think you already know that you have an infection. they only way to know what kind is to go to your doctor and have a culture taken. it can be something simple or can become more complicated. remeber pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which it doesn't sound like you have can cause sterility;.

Bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, PID, trichomoniasis or yeast infection. All have what you do what you have.
You will be fine all can be treated with meds.
