I think I may have vaginosis... I can't get in to see my doc til next Tuesday. And of course the more I think about it, the more I worry. My husband and I just noticed this weird smell during our last romp. He thought it was really weird because in 10yrs I've never had this problem. He thought maybe I should try a douche, which I did and now I've read it could do more bad than good (thanks hun). I read that symptoms include discharge, which I may have a slight one and a fishy smell. I'm unsure if I'd call it a fishy smell since I think of tuna when I think fish. I also have no itch or irritation. The best I think I can describe the smell is sorta urine like. It's definately coming from the inside. If I do have vaginosis is it going to keep coming back to haunt me? Do my symptoms match up? Maybe something else?
thank so much.... this is killing me!

What are the Symptoms of Bacterial Vaginosis?
The most obvious sign of bacterial infection is an unpleasant foul, often fishy odor. Itching and/or burning sometimes accompany bacterial infections, but are not a required symptom for a diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis.
Many times women are unaware they are infected until they are diagnosed during a routine pelvic exam and Pap smear. It is important that you don't use vaginal douches during the few days preceding your visit to your gynecologist as douching can hide signs of infection and may make bacterial vaginosis infections worse.
