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. =]

What causes a fishy order with no discharge?
A fishy odour is a sign of an overgrowth in bacteria.This can occur as a result of a temporary imbalance in pH, for example after penis-to-vaginal intercourse without a condom as the semen is more alkaline it makes the vaginal pH less acidic so more favourable to harmful bacteria that can cause this fishy odour. If the odour continues for a few days it may be a bacterial infection like Bacterial Vaginosis, where the harmful vaginal bacteria takes over from the healthy vaginal bacteria - this requires a trip to your doctor.
