For a few months now, my boyfriend and I have been noticing a strong smell during our sexual relations. What to do about it?

I had a test: Vagisense and it tells me it's all negative but my symptoms look like really bad odor, itchy sometimes. I was wondering if it could be a yeast infection?

Hello Ma'am,

It's pretty rare for a yeast infection to produce unpleasant odor, but it's not impossible either.

In any case, I'd start by trying a Canesten™ treatment to be applied to the vulva and into the vagina once a day for 7 days.

If after that 7 days the itching and odor are not resolved, then a doctor will be consulted.

Good day,

Alexander
