Vaginal Smell?
| Mon, 06-02-2008 - 8:52pm |
Ok. Before I ask my question, you have to know some background things about me:
For four years, although I never had sexual intercourse with my boyfried, we had a lot of outercourse which often included him climaxing on my vagina.
Since I became sexually active with him, I've gotten a lot of yeast infections.
My doctor said I produce more bacteria down there than the average woman.
I assume this, as well as poor hygeine after being sexual with my boyfriend, caused the yeast infections.
My boyfriend and I married a couple of weeks ago and are now having "real" sex.
Here is my question:
Since puberty I've had a vaginal smell. My friends, family, and doctor have said everyone has their own genital smell, but I really don't like mine. I've had the smell even before I was getting yeast infections, and my husband says he likes it.
I discharge a lot daily and to me the smell is strong (this has been the case since puberty), but again, my doctor blames it on the amount of bacteria I produce.
Does anyone else NOT like the smell of their vaginas? Or am I the only one who is self-conscious about it? I really don't think I have an infection because other than the smell and discharge, the color of the discharge is normal and I don't itch. (Unless I have a yeast infection, of course.) And I've been this way since puberty, so unless I've had a 10 year infection, did I just get really bad luck with the way I am down there?
