What Causes Strong Odor From The Vagina?
Hello, The past few weeks I have had a really strong odor coming from my vagina. I recently found out I am pregnant but this odor has been going on since before the pregnancy. It almost smells like a fart . Its really embarrassing. I take a shower, put on fresh underwear and within minutes I can smell it when I sit down. I have no idea what it could be and the internet is scaring me.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Malodor p/v may be due to an infection or it can be due to vaginal secretions so just get 1 p/v examination done with a gynecologist and if needed they will put you on medication. Do not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Somashekar N
