What Causes Strong Vaginal Odour?
I have a very strong odor from my vagina. I have mentioned it during several GYN visits and they never find anything. They have told me to douche with baking soda and water. I have done that and it lasts for about 24 hours. Then the odor returns. I have had an internal sonogram and found nothing. This makes me nervous because I have a genetic marker for Breast cancer and skin cancer. I took Tamoxifin for 5 years which makes me more susceptible to Uterine Cancer. Should I continue to pursue this?

Hello,
The strong odour can be due to a vaginal infection. This may not be related to any cancer. Do go for a regular screening test to rule this out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
