Had Unprotected Sex With A Female Having Fishy Smelling Discharge. What Are The Health Risks?

I met with a lady lastnight who was very sexually stimulated, however her discharge was unpleasant, fishy smell, thick and gooey, I may have had unprotected sex with her and having googled this, it may be a yeast infection, i have not actually asked her as it may not be the case, what are the health risks i may be affected with at worst?

Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

As you have had unprotected sexual intercourse with this lady, the chances of you contracting the infection from her are quite high. But luckily, a fishy smelling vagina, or fluids from the genitals (discharge, urine, etc.) all point towards infections which can be easily treated. They are yeast infections, trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, etc. These infections can easily be treated. If left untreated can lead to complications and increased severity with multiple recurrences.

I advise you to get yourself checked by a doctor, instead of waiting to ask the woman if she has any infections or not. Early treatment can make management much more simpler.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
