I do remember having a horrible genital odor for a short while a few
years back. I say genital, because it was not vaginal. My labia were
oily and had a very strong, nasty smell in spite of frequent washing. I
do think it was related to hormone imbalance b/c I also lost quite a bit
of pubic hair around that time. This was during a time when I had
gotten off bcp and when I went back on them, the problem disappeared. Of
course, the bcp created many other problems, but that's another story!
