What causes vaginal fishy odor if no infection is presant?

If you have vaginal odor that is NOT caused by an ordinary infection, it could be something serious. Many STD's can cause odor, but not have any other physical symtoms. So if you have foul or abnormal vaginal odor it is best to get to the doctor immediately, or take a home detection test. Vaginal odor is most often caused by poor hygein. Though douching disrupts your Ph balance it is good to use one every so often to thouroughly clean yourself. Especially if you are sexually active. I would suggest using water, or a solution of water and vinegar as opposed to a store bought cleanser, as it is better for your system, and cleans JUST as well. Hope this helped. =]

Is there a way to reduce discharge?

If you have a vaginal discharge you probably have a vaginal infection, particularlly if there is an odor. A yeast infection causes a white thick discharge and may cause itching. Hemophilus vaginitis can cause a greyish discharge with a "fishy" odor. Trichomoniasis is a STD that causes itching and burning. If you have a discharge, see your doctor it is not normal. Do not douche before you see the doctor, he will need to check the discharge to see what is causing it. If you douche too much this can cause a discharge. You actually never have to douche, douching can rinse away the normal vaginal fluids and the body will secrte more to replace them creating a vicious cycle, so stop douching.
