What Causes Dryness And Unpleasant Vaginal Odour After Having Intercourse?

I have amazing sexual and personal hygiene and am very educated on vagina health and care. But my vagina smells gross today and did three days ago also...not yesterday though. I showered and washed with my normal baby wash. I went to bed and at three in the morn g my guy woke me up w sex and he said he saw a little white discharge on his penis and I smelled strongly. I ran n showered n it was gone,then while having sex I kept becoming dry fast n smell returned? Wtf is this and what to do?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
It is most common in women after sexual intercourse.
Dryness may be due to rough sex.
But unpleasant odor most commonly due to vaginal infection mostly bacterial vaginosis.
As sperm enter in to the vagina it cause changes in vaginal bacterial flora and ph and predispose to infections.

You take following advice
Tablet metronidazole
Lacto bacilli orally or vaginally
Hydrocortisone ointment
Shower with salted warm water
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear
Apply oil base lotion that contain vitamin and minerals
Wipe pelvic area after urination and sex
Avoid sex and douching till you get better

If not resolves contact the gynecologist
Pelvic examination
Do microscopy and culture , swab taken from urethre or vaginal dischagr
PCR, NAAT and ELISA for STDs also

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
