I have clear discharge coming from my vagina, it used to be odorless. However, this month it is a little cloudy with a fowl fishy smell to it. I have never been one of those ladies with an odor problem. Does anyone know what it might be without having to see a doctor? Please advise....thanks.

Well, I do agree to an extent with the others, however, as women, our bodies change over time. The vagina is no different. It literally is a whole nother world. The pH of the vagina changes when different enzymes are produced. The vagina is a natural area where bacteria harbour, it is the same for a penis, as the bacteria love to harbour there as well. Keep washing good, with water, try not to use any detergent soaps and such. no body wash or feminine wash, as these products irritate the tissues. go see the doctor to get it checked out. if it isn't bothering you and making you physically uncomfortable, that's a good thing. discharge changes for every woman thru-out the course of her bodys life. it is wise to have it looked at, then the next time, you may know what to expect.

Discharge is normal but it shouldn't have an unpleasant odor. Like the others said, it sounds like a yeast infection. You can try something over the counter like Monistat but you should probably see your doctor just to be sure.

occasional vaginal odor is very common. quite often arising from fluctuating hormonal changes. there are avariety of product available. If there is itching or redness you should see your gynecologist this may be a sign of a yeast infection. better yet! If you are menstruating or sexually active or even if you aren't, make sure you get your regular pap smear and examination from your doctor. Any physical changes which concern you is reason enough to see your doctor. Trust me. They have seen it all before. You're too special to risk your health on the basis of false modesty.

fishy odor = bacterial infection
cheesy odor = yeast infection
visit your gyne so she can prescribe an antibiotic for you. my aunt had this before, or it could be just the ph of your vagina is disturbed, causing you to have that smell, but it's most likely to have bacterial infection.

Not of itself - but if you had a sexual infection this could be passed on orally. So long as there is no existing condition oral sex should be perfectly safe. I believe there is such a thing called an oral dam which has the same role as a condom in acting as a physical barrier if there is any doubt.

Sounds like a bacterial infection, which cannot be treated with anything over-the-counter. You'll have to go see your doctor so he can prescribe the correct antibiotic.

You may have yeast infection or other kinds of sexual infection. You need to see gynecologist to get the right answer, not Yahoo answer.
