I’m in a monogamous, safe sexual relationship and have never had a problem with odor. I go for routine checkups and bathe regularly, so I’m alright there. After my last cycle though, there’s been this unpleasant "fishy" smell. Its not noticeable until after sex. Iknow BV carries that tell-tale scent. I’ve had BV once before, a few years ago and was treated. Is it possible that that’s what’s going on now?

I’ve already scheduled my appointment, so just plain ol’ experience-related advice would be nice.
Thankfully, I date a gentleman…not an insensitive, immature, boy…so, this issue doesn’t gross him out as much as it bothers me. Its not really strong, kinda faint but noticeable.

Last year May I was diag. with bacterial vaginosis and treated with a dose of 3 pills at one time. (I also had an abnormal pap & colposcopy which came out negative.) I did not feel right and went back recently. I was diag. with vaginosis again and was given Flagyl for 7 days. I saw my regular MD for the past month for other symptoms,after a urine test said I had a UTI and gave me a dose of Cipro (3 pills/3 days.) I have finished this dosing and still 2 weeks later know that I am not right. I am going to go back t the Gyn again for a 4th treatment. Before the summer I have never had anything like this not even a yeast infection.

I have been going to my MD for other symptoms such has palpitations, high blood pressure (145/100), dizzy spells, nausea spells, fatigue, headaches, ear infections, flushing, periods of low body temp (94 deg) and low pulse, night sweats, sleep apnea and brown spots on my back. Now Im just nervous that the bacterial vaginosis could be a sign something else??
