Often this kind of problem is a associated with a mixed bacterial overgrowth called "bacterial vaginosis". Sometimes it is reported on culture as Normal vaginal flora and may be missed. Usually there is a white thin watery discharge that may be light, it is not always a heavy discharge. I >have been to my doctor and had her do a culture on me.

This is the strange >part though - it is only noticable during & after intercourse. Could >somebody give me a clue? Are you using anything vaginal for contraception? Could it be the semen that you are noticing? How long after intercourse do you perceive the odor? Perhaps you should try a medicated douching preparation prior to and after intercourse. Or conversely, just try a course of Flagyl antibiotic, and see if it goes away. Just work closely with your doctor and remember the old saying that if at first you don't succeed.... good luck, -- Douglas Krell MD Next message: Roberta: "Re: Bacterial Vaginosis was: Query" Previous message: anonymous@obgyn.net: "NOT leaving just wanted to know :) i know it's silly" In reply to: terri: "Query" Next in thread: Roberta: "Re: Bacterial Vaginosis was: Query" Reply: Roberta: "Re: Bacterial Vaginosis was: Query"
