All I know is that if I let it sit there, I smell fishy for a day or two. I know that means that the pH of my vgaina has been altered enough that the same bacteria that cause the fish smell in fish are causing it in my vagina. Maybe that's not a big enough change for the yeast to get out of hand. As I posted before, a fish odor is caused by a very specific bacterial infection called Gardnerella. If you are smelling fish you and your partner need to see a doctor. Below is an excerpt from an article on the topic. quote:
Dr. Donnica: While yeast infections are a common causes of vaginal discharge, they do not generally cause a "fishy" odor. That offender is usually an infection called "gardnerella" which causes bacterial vaginosis. While this infection can be passed between partners, it is not a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the chief causes of vaginal odor. This odor may become more pronounced after having sex. BV is treatable with one of two medicines by prescription only: metronidazole or clindamycin. Created: 11/23/2002 - Donnica Moore, M.D.
