vagina problems

[gemzielu]

i have discharge every day and it has a fishy smell. the doctor said it could be thrush and gave me treatment, ive used it and its still the same, he said to go back and get a swab if there is no changes. any ideas so i know what im gonna hear?

[Goodsoulette]

go the GUM clinic. Could be all sorts of things but the fishy smell would point to gardnerella, which I hasten to add is not an STD and is easily treatable with a course of antibiotics. Whatever you do, as horrible as it must be for you, don't douche cause if it is thrush or gardnerella you'll only upset the natural acid balance inside your vagina.

gemzielu,
try eating natural yoghurt,

[Goodsoulette]

its not eating natural yoghurt that cures it, although in the long term eating live yoghurt can help balance your bodies bacteria. You have to put the yoghurt inside your vagina, easiest by applying on a tampon.
