What Are The Symptoms Of Hemochromatosis?

I had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago. They also did liver biopsy and I am now being tested for Hemochromatosis. Over the past week I have noticed a very strong vaginal oder. I have no fever and haven t changed soaps, prescriptions or my diet. I have showered every night. There isn t any pain but I did bleed lightly for 1 day (which is strange bc I usually don t have a period bc I m on Depo). Any way the oder could be caused from the surgery or hemochromatosis?

Hi, Welcome to Health Care Magic. I have read carefully your concerns. Hemochromatosis is manifested with symptoms like fatigue, weakness, joints pain and if there is massive hemochromatosis patient suffers loss of sex drive, heart failure, liver failure and diabetes.
vaginal odor is normally not causes by hemochromatosis. Common causes for vaginal odor are Bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis and poor hygiene.You have said about your hygiene status.
Please go to local physician or gynecological doctor to check for vaginosis and trichomoniasis.
